Sadly I feel there are 2 areas in my life I need to drastically improve. 1: Work 2: Personal Health

So I'll start point 1. I work... a lot. 2 main jobs, one being in a pub. Hitting 35 hours a week and another doing stage tech hitting between 10 and 40 hours a week depending on how busy it is.

I want to leave the pub job. Sadly the insecurity of leaving that job is a high concern of mine. As the tech job fluctuates in hours. I'm scared that leaving the pub job, which is my crutch, will leave me short of money, meaning I can't pay rent and bills and meaning me, my girlfriend and dog will be left homeless. The idea of this scares the living shit out of me. Hence why I can't take the plunge and leave the pub and just use my time working all I get at the theatre.

Why would I want to do this? Because I have video editing work and website work being offered to me. But not enough atm to feel it a viable future option. If I had the choice I would be making videos and making a living from that work.

So to end point one. What advice can you offer to help me get the courage to get rid of the crappy pub job, and any advice for remaining pro active in pushing the video editing/directing/making?

Point 2: I have always been over weight all my life. A few years ago I managed to lose a fair bit. But recently put a fair bit back on. I then lose some, then put a butt load back on. I go through periods of binge eating utter trash. So I would ask you good people for guidance to help me stop binging and to help me keep my track true and straight.

Thank you for reading and I thank you for taking the time to offer advice.
