You might also want to look into composting, though I realize that’s an additional burden. Some folks who compost only use brown or black plastic (and just recycle the other kinds), which reduces the waste stream itself.

You can do this a little every day, and then you might have enough of a degree of comfort so that you’re able to go about your usual tasks. There are other ideas as well, like “cognitive restructuring”, which is to reframe a scary thing in your mind so that it’s no longer scary. You can also try cognitive distraction, which is to notice and direct your attention toward something else instead. Let me know if these are helpful, or if you have any other suggestions for ways to beat your fear.",

I recommend at least 2-3 days between each weightlifting session, just to give your muscles a break. Try to stick to this schedule for the next 6 months and see if you start to see results.

Weight loss is best done by cutting back caloric intake, and also increasing caloric intake through eating more vegetables. Lifting weights is probably best thought of as maintaining, or even building, muscle mass. I recommend lifting only 3 times per week, so you’re left plenty of time to walk and eat lots of salads.",
