I need to lose weight. I need to de-obesify. That is the starting point. I cannot achieve anything else while being a big fat disgrace. I have no confidence when I look like this.
I have commenced a diet and am going to try my best.

The diet started about a week ago but yesterday I fucked up and ordered dominos. Ate six garlic breads and 4 Chocolate thickshakes in one sitting. I am back on track today though. Just eating baked beans and frozen vegies and vegan shakes.
I currently weigh about 130 kilos. I would like to get down to 90.

Good luck. Thought about doing any exercise? I generally hate cardio, but exercise bike and rowing machine isn't too bad. You might be able to pick one up off Gumtree.
>>179941
I definitely recommend budgeting, I picked up a program called "You Need A Budget" for something like $5. Unfortunately, they've changed to a subscription service and charge heaps now.
As for going to bed early and waking up early, make sure you get about 20 minutes of sunlight a day. You need Vitamin D to have restful sleep, and it helps calibrate your circadian rhythm. Just watch the UV level if you're pale like me, I have a little too much Scottish blood.

Figure out your weeks income.

What this guy said: >>180096
But I'll elaborate with some examples. It's about making goals both small and achievable, to give the pleasure centre of your brain a little reward and feeling of accomplishment. So if you want to find a stable job next year, make a goal of finding and applying for 1 job per day that you really want.
If you want to lose weight, get MyFitnessPal and your target can be to lose 0.25-0.5kg per week. Regardless of whether you misbehave and go over your allocation, log your food and be accountable for your actions.
I'm going to cautiously recommend a book to everyone here. I know that there's tons of books out there on self-help, I'll personally only do this once or else we may get snowed under with a never-ending list of books to read. It's called "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big" by Scott Adams. It's very much a practical self-help book on how to be successful in your endeavours, and is basically the life experiences of someone else that has read a ton of books on how to be successful.
I've done this the old fashioned way. You need to save the image, rename it to .rar, and the book is inside in .epub format. If you need a program to open .epub files, there's a free open source program called Calibre.

I would recommend some sort of white collar "traineeship" or entry level job. Avoid hospitality as it is for hot teenage/early 20s girls and pajeets, laboring could be a good job but hit and miss depending on who your coworkers are.
I will say that Australia is probably the normiest country in the entire world, formal applications will get you no where here. It's all about who you know and how you're able to form a connection straight off the bat, you might be best just phoning random places around being super omg overenthusiastic and making small talk/Australianisms before getting into asking if they have any work.

oh no it makes sense
migrants from nepotistic shitholes bring all the nepotism, incompetence and misery that made their own countries shit with them.
Indians in IT are notorious for blocking non-indian applicants the moment the get any input into recruitment, the business is then rapidly filled with useless indians. They do similar shit in every industry they infest.
Chinks only hire other chinks, gooks only hire other gooks.
With a lot of non-whites it's linked to them completely ignoring employment law, they hire from their own ethnic background and pay half the minimum wage, there's an unspoken understanding that the law doesn't apply and shit is kept quiet and in the community.
It started with wogs really, but 10 years ago it wasn't nearly as bad or as widespread. (It isn't all that bad if some guy's fruit shop is staffed mostly by his kids and his nephews anyway.)
There's always been some level of nepotism in every industry but it's basically the bulk of hiring now, there's very little open merit based hiring.

Perth is pretty congested and overpopulated, but not as bad as the eastern states. Our economy is slowing down after the mining boom so the influx of foreigners is slowing as well. When you come to WA be sure to visit the south west, it's really beautiful with Boranup forest, Denmark, Albany, and the Walpole area. Also apparently Esperance has the best beaches in the state but that's obviously opinion.

You put everything into words much better than I could, especially the point with it not being so bad when it was just family businesses because that way you were just supporting yourself.
There is an absolute epidemic especially in hospitality, entry level trades and customer facing support roles of hiring PoCs and paying them half the minimum wage. These people have such a power distance and conflict aversion, not to mention are so desperate that they happily put up with it which just fucks everyone else who isn't part of the little arrangement over. I really don't buy this meme of them "doing jobs no one else wants to do", if they paid at least minimum wage and were working in conditions in line with what the regulation states they would have no trouble finding workers. We all know how (((they))) fiddle with the "unemployment statistics".

total bullshit, you don't know what you're talking about. White WHV'ers get rampantly exploited. Even the mainstream media (4 corners) has covered this.
>so long as you're not doing something useless like picking vegetables.
you stupid fuck, they have to do useless shit like picking vegetables for three months to extend their visa, that's why there's a big pool of backpackers who'll pick vegetables for peanuts, sometimes effectively for free.
Did you actually think backpackers went out to whoop whoop working on farms for fun? for the work?
This is something anybody who knows shit about the subject knows all about yet you don't - nobody should take your advice.
>>192631
One thing to watch out for is places with on-site accommodation that they heavily encourage or force you to use, often it's shit like bunk-beds in a room full of other people for 200/week, then the piece rates from the work turn out to be so low that you're paying back most or all of what you earn to your boss. If you can get feedback from other backpackers about somewhere you're planing to work, do it.
Honestly mate if I were you I wouldn't come. This country is a shithole, just earn money at home and go on an adventure west of the Rhine fucking all the eastern euro whores that take your fancy, you'll have a much better time.
