article: This is one of the easiest ways you can camouflage your gauged ears, though it might not be feasible if your hair is short or thin. You might want to talk with your barber/stylist to learn about hairstyles that can be arranged to block your gauges from view. Even if your hair keeps its shape relatively well, you might want to use hairspray, hair gel, or styling wax in your hair. This way your hair is less likely to be brushed out of the way and your gauges revealed. This is an extreme technique that will only be possible if you have very large gauges. Use your hair to conceal the base of your ear where your gauges rest.  You can also wear a pair of thick-framed glasses, even non-prescription ones that have fake lenses, to help block your gauges from view where they rest over your ears.  Very large gauges can be difficult to conceal, and questions may arise even if you do your best to hide them. Many state laws protect those with "deformities" from being discriminated against by employers, so if necessary, you may be able to cite this law. There are many kinds of head covering you might use to tuck your gauges out of sight. Bandannas and hats can be used to hide your gauges at less formal occasions. Women and long-haired men might be able to get away with wearing a stylish headband to keep your gauges out of sight.

article: . Before you can cut calories to lose 3 lb (1.4 kg) per week, you’ll need to know how many calories you typically burn in a day. This is called your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and you can use this as your baseline for deciding how many calories to eat each day and how many calories you will need to burn from exercise.  You can do the math to calculate your BMR, but it is quite complicated. You may find it easier to use an online calculator. There are many websites that have free calculators available. There are a few different formulas for calculating your basal metabolic rate and they’re all different. However, you’ll need to convert your height and weight into centimeters and kilograms. For example, to use the revised Harris-Benedict BMR equation as a man, you’d need to add 88.4 to 13.4 multiplied by your weight in kilograms, and then add this amount to 4.8 times your height in centimeters. Then, subtract 5.68 times your age from the total of these 2 sums. 3 lb (1.4 kg) is equal to 10,500 calories, which means you’ll need to cut 1,500 calories per day using diet and exercise. Once you know how many calories you burn in a day, subtract 1,500 from it to get your daily calorie goal. However, don’t go below 1,200 calories per day if you’re a woman or 1,500 per day if you’re a man.  For example, if your basal metabolic rate is 2,756, then you could eat up to 1,256 calories per day and you’d be creating a 1,500 per day deficit. This should result in a weight loss of 3 lb (1.4 kg) per week. If your basal metabolic rate is 2,300, then your calorie limit would only be 800 per day. However, this is too low, and you’d be at risk of developing health problems by eating such a low calorie diet, such as heart problems and gallstones. Eat at least 1,200 calories per day and aim to burn an extra 400 calories per day from exercise. The only way to ensure that you don’t exceed your daily calorie goal is to track everything you eat and drink each day using a tracking app or food diary. Make sure to measure everything you eat so that you will know how much of it you ate. Then, record the food in your tracker app or diary. Fruits and vegetables are more nutrient dense than energy dense, which means they are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, but low in fat and calories. Aim to fill your plate halfway full of fruits and vegetables at every meal. This will help you to cut calories while staying satisfied and nourishing your body. For example, you could have an apple and an orange with breakfast, include a green salad at lunch, and have some steamed vegetables with your dinner. Lean protein and low-fat dairy products will help to keep you feeling full and satisfied while adding fewer calories than fattening meats and full-fat dairy products. Opt for skinless chicken breast, lean cuts of beef and pork, beans, tofu, and egg whites. When choosing dairy, opt for skim or 1% milk, low-fat cheese, and low-fat or no-fat yogurt. Aim for 1 serving of lean protein or low-fat dairy at every meal. For example, you could have cereal with 1% milk on it for breakfast, a salad with grilled chicken for lunch, and a bowl of whole-wheat pasta with low-fat mozzarella and turkey meatballs for dinner. White pasta, white rice, and white bread may have the same number of calories as their whole wheat counterparts, but they have been stripped of their fiber. This means that you won’t stay full for long after eating refined carbohydrates, and you might end up overeating. Switch to whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread, and brown rice to get more fiber in your diet. for a more structured eating plan. Intermittent fasting is when you consume your meals and snacks within the same 8 to 10 hour window each day. This ensures that your digestive system gets a 14 to 16 hour break each day and helps you to naturally eat less since the time frame in which you can eat is limited.  Designate a time frame during the most active part of your day that works well for you. For example, you could eat between 7:00 am and 3:00 pm each day. Following this plan, you might have breakfast at 7:00 am, lunch at 11:00 am, and dinner at 2:45 pm. Or, you could eat between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm and have breakfast at 10:00 am, lunch at 2:00pm, and dinner at 5:30 pm.

Focusing on music can make you more interesting and give you a pleasant way to pass the time One of the first rules for alleviating boredom is that you should focus on trying new things. Therefore, experiment with new bands, new albums, or even new genres of music.  You should also look around for local concerts. Even small towns generally have a handful of local bands. While they might not always be of the highest caliber, they might be interesting in their own way. Try an online radio program. Relinquishing control over your queue means that you might happen across some songs you otherwise wouldn’t listen to. Alternatively, ask friends if they have heard any good new music. Things that require your brain to be active and attentive will help cure boredom. Creative pursuits can also help you cultivate skills that will, in the long run, get you out of your boring town. They can make you interesting within your community and help you build a circle of other creative people. Try to learn an instrument or sing. Once you have some experience, find other musicians/singers to put together a band. When you start playing shows, you’ll have an opportunity to meet a lot of new people. If you were in band, choir, or orchestra in high school or college, you can still be part of the same groups in the community.  Many small towns have community bands, orchestras, or choirs that you can take part of. You can always learn a new instrument or sing, and join these groups as well. Some schools have local poetry clubs; if not, you can help put one together. Try to publish a journal with short stories and poetry. Many small towns will also have a community of people interested in visual arts, like painting and drawing. You can try to display your work at cafes or take courses at the local community college. Once upon a time, reading was the only reliable distraction people could turn to. It is still one of the best ways to banish boredom. It requires that you dedicate attention to what you’re doing. You will meet interesting characters, get engaged by a story, and learn more about the world outside of your town. To engage with the book more thoroughly, consider writing as you read. Underline important passages, write in the margins. Evidence suggests that, even if daydreaming seems to give you something to do, it actually only makes boredom worse. When our minds drift to exotic places, our current environment seem even less interesting that it would otherwise. Instead of allowing your mind to drift off into fantasy, try to practice "mindfulness." Mindfulness means focusing intensely on the world around you. Be conscious of your breathing. Listen for sounds, pay attention smells. Try to notice things you otherwise wouldn't. Mindfulness has been shown to improve your mood and your cognitive abilities. Doing new things is one of the best ways to eliminate boredom. In fact, doing something you don’t enjoy, but aren’t accustomed to, is a better way of alleviating boredom than doing something you enjoy, but are used to.   Given the choice between eating candy and shocking themselves, bored people have been shown to prefer electrocution. Regardless of whether the sensation is good or bad, something novel is the best cure for boredom. It can be hard to come up with a new pastime. That is why the first step is often surrounding yourself with people who are interesting and have diverse tastes. They can help expose you to new things you wouldn’t pursue otherwise. Try a new type of food that might seem exotic or scary. Go skiing or skydiving. Watch a movie from a genre you would generally avoid. Go to a concert. Often there are plenty of opportunities to experiment with new things, but our fears prevent us from pursuing them. Meditation might not seem like the most exciting activity, but it does pass the time. Evidence also demonstrates that it increases concentration, which can make it easier to focus on interesting distractions. To really improve your focus, try to dedicate 20 minutes daily to mediation. Meditation means focusing on only one thing for an extended period of time. Take a mantra (a phrase) or an image and focus on it. Clear you mind of everything else. When something else enters you mind, gently brush it aside. Travel can spice up your life and expose you to new things. You might even find when you come back that there were somethings that you missed while away. If you don't have the resources for an international trip, try taking a trip nearby.  If you don't have the resources to jump on a plane, go somewhere nearby. You can drive, take a bus, or ride on a train for a reasonable price. Pick a nearby city, a small town you have never been too, or a scenic, outdoor location. Housing on a vacation might seem expensive, but that is not necessarily the case. Most cities have hostels and, if you are willing to share a room with others, you will probably only need to pay $20-$35 a night.. There are also now websites that allow you to rent space in a local's home, typically for less money than you would spend on a hotel. You can also get involved with a local club. Often, clubs and sports organizations will travel. Typically, this sort of group travel is reasonably priced. A busy vacation, with a lot of sights and destinations, is a good way to alleviate boredom, however, it can also be a bit overwhelming. One good way to enjoy a busy vacation is to plan it with a purpose. Come up with a goal that makes all of your experiences connected, like checking out all the local blues bars or seeing all the paintings of a particular artist. You can even try to write a story based on your traveling experience.
