  • It sounds like it might be another form of poor tax.

    Your license/inspection is expired (possibly because you either couldn’t afford to renew it, or couldn’t take the day off to renew it) = given a fine.

    Misses a payment, because they already couldn’t afford the fine = given another fine and a court date.

    Have to show up in court, but can’t, again for the same reason you never renewed your license or paid the fine = given yet another fine.

    It just seems like it is intended to snowball due to greed. But maybe I’m wrong and just excessively jaded and cynical.

    Counting calories. I used MyFitnessPal, but I’m sure there are other apps.

    Figure out how many calories you need daily to maintain your current weight, depending on age/gender/height, and then subtract about 500 calories from that. This also depends on your stats; you don’t want to go below your minimum daily calories. You’ll be hungry and dizzy all the time, and your body will try to store extra fat because it thinks you’re starving.

    You can eat whatever you want, as long as you stay under your daily calorie number. You might not be healthy (depending on your food choices), but you will lose weight.

    Good luck!

    My boyfriend is getting more and more frequent panic attacks. He’s at the end of his rope. I’m trying to get him therapy, but it took almost a year to convince him to let me sign him up for some. Today they contacted him to schedule an appointment…for a month from now. And he panicked about it so badly that he started sobbing at the end of his workday (while still at work).

    He can’t afford therapy, so I offered to pay. Which makes him feel guilty. His constant anxiety is keeping him from getting help for his constant anxiety. It’s only going to get worse. And there’s nothing I can do about it.

    I just realized I didn’t directly answer your question: terrible.
