When will we be landing?

Doctors will tell you that stress will kill you quicker than anything else. I say stress along with a sedentary lifestyle and a horrible diet is a self-inflicted death sentence! So WHY THE HELL am I doing all of the above?
Well for one thing, when I'm stressed I tend to eat. I don't snack a lot or overeat, but when I eat it more often than not is on fried food, pizza, etc. It's like a temporary high. On top of that I feel so unmotivated to work out. How foolish of me when I know better than anyone the effects of healthy eating and exercise can impact your life in a positive way. I did it for years having turned my life 180 degrees and now bouncing back to the other side.

Let's dissect this, shall we? ( Alright, so I now I'm talking to myself here, but aren't I always? )

Main causes of stress in my life. The big 3:
1) My current job. It's beyond dead-end and has no benefits, not taxes, no set schedule throughout the day and surrounds me with temptation to drink. On top of all of the above, since I hate the situation I can't help but feel a constant state of stress.
2) My relationship with my Father. I'm not going into detail but it too leaves me in a constant state of stress.
3) Loneliness. I I have a lot of friends yet I don't. I feel so inferior and/or superior to so many people. I really don't know any peers and up until recently my weekends were spent alone where my only joy was cutting grass. Social anxiety is a bitch.

What makes me happy? This is a tough question and the first thing that pops into my head is beer, but that, just like food is a temporary high, both with very dangerous consequences.

1) Without question my number one joy in life is spending time with my little buddy. Those that know me know who I'm talking about. Sharing yourself with someone is an amazing experience. You can not put a price on the feeling of being loved and needed and there is no greater feeling than when someone asks you for help.

2) As odd as this sounds one of my joys in life is exercise. Although I haven't done it much in a while, the feeling you get after working out is wonderful. After a few weeks of lifting weights and running you feel so accomplished and I could go on and on about the benefits.

3) Number three is a mix of things. I like riding my scooter on nice days. I like playing my guitar when others are around and I pretty much like being outside doing just about anything whether in the yard or the garage.

So there are six things that affect my mood in one way or the other and still for the most part I spend my time home, alone, reading. I'm not sure if I love to read, but I do love to learn. Still when I'm with someone I never suggest curling up with a good book or looking up a blog on the 'net.

So where am I going with all this? Where am I going?
