Exactly what I was going to say.
They are not even remotely close to being legitimate.
As I read more of the OP's posts I truly am beginning to believe that this is a joke.
Bravo!

This isn't a joke, I swear. This is my life. It hurts when people call me a joke. I'm sorry. I can start lying and pretending everything is great if you want, but that won't help any of us.
I'm terribly sorry. I just want people to like me again. This isn't a joke. I promise.
Please forgive me. I just want you to not be upset with me.

First off, I have never seen so many excuses in one thread by one person.
I have seen people give you good suggestions, but you have shot every single one down.
“Your only limitation is the one that you set up in your own mind” - Napoleon Hill
You ask for advise, but I don't think you really want it. I think you just want someone to complain to.
Life ain't easy, life has problems. How we grow is defined by how we deal with these problems. You can't expect someone to be able to help if you are not willing to do any work or make any sacrifices.
You won't go to the library because you don't look perfect? Suck it up. QUIT worrying about what other people think of you
Quit making excuses.
Secondly, "Please forgive me. I just want you to not be upset with me." < That is a major problem. As I said in the other thread, you NEED to quit worrying about what other people think of you.
You can't make the whole world love you or even like you. There is now, and will always be, people that do not like you. You need to accept this.

Are you listening to any advice or are you just dismissing it?
I am following advice. I've tried the water-bottle thing and it's worked until I forget to do it. I'm looking for a job. I'm going to the gym more often. I cook dinner when I can find stuff in the house that works. I just don't talk about it; instead, I do it. The problem is that it hasn't always worked.

Library - there's an answer (wow, long)
Bad news, Kathar. If you don't eliminate the boredom, you will be engaging in an exercise in frustration. You will continually feel like you are being deprived - of fun and food - and it will make you miserable. Beat the boredom.
Go to the library EVERY time you work out. Who cares how you look - are you looking for a date? Get yoga books, mediation books and find something fun to read. A good mystery series is great summer reading (Sue Grafton is good - fun, decently written and most libraries have them all.) Yoga and mediation are free - no equipment required but space on your floor. If you have a room and it's clean like you say, you're good to go. Don't fall for the commercial selling points that tell you that you must have a mat, blocks, leotards and $150 designer pants. You don't. Muscle toning, strength training and a more peaceful mind - what's not to like?
Make a routine - even if it is completely contrived and the only reason for it is because you say so - make and stick to a routine. It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to work for you.
8am - coffee, toast and jam, read Weight Loss Forum
9am - library
10am - gym
noon - lunch (whatever)
1pm - nap
2pm coffee, check email and kick around on line
3 pm yoga and meditation then snack
4pm clean something
5pm be diligently reading and don't annoy mom
6pm dinner and help clean up after dinner
7pm read some more/watch tv
9 pm short walk to clear your mind
10 pm lights out
whatever, make something up. On the days you don't go to the gym, clean something else. Walk the neighborhood. Job hunt. If you don't get a paying job in the next couple of weeks, volunteer at the library anyway and network. Volunteering looks great on a resume - tell your mom the employers aren't calling and you have to do something to build that resume. Blame the economy.
Get a blog and write your sorrows out. It will also improve your writing, and as an English teacher I can tell you that is never a bad thing. Doesn't matter if no one reads it - do it for you.
If the libraries are like our school system, they probably aren't hiring even part time. If you're in a neighborhood full of tract houses, does anyone need a sitter or day care? If it's close enough, you could walk and they'd probably feed you. Clear profit and no drain on your mom. What about lawn mowing?
I totally get the irrational parent thing - my dad was a doosie.
Seriously, make a schedule. Set it up so that when you start getting bored, oops, now its time to scrub the bathroom floor. Have the house so dammm clean you'll be able to do your boredom eating off of the floor. Only you won't be bored - so you won't have to.
I'm also brainstorming for myself, you see. I am about to be out of school (teaching) for the summer myself, and last year I gained weight out of boredom and frustration and financial worries instead of losing weight and enjoying my summer. So I am making myself a schedule, too.
Good luck. Remember, everything is temporary. Don't think about what you CAN'T do, think about what you CAN do and opportunities will open up for you.
