Problem: Article: It will be useful to track your total calorie intake using a food journal, food journaling app or website. This will help you manipulate your predetermined caloric goal to result in any desired weight changes. It can also help keep you accountable to your diet plan. Food journals are also a great way to get insight into what you currently eat and how that compared to your determined caloric goal. Food journals will be able to give you an idea of where you're eating most of calories during the day. Lastly, journaling will be able to help you track and successful gain, lose or maintain your weight. If you're trying to lose weight, you'll want to make sure that you consistently have a net negative calorie intake each day. You can do this by reducing the number of calories you eat, burning more calories through exercise, or both. In general, losing about 3500 calories per week equates to losing one pound of body weight. Cutting out 500 calories daily will help you reach this weekly deficit. Don't lose weight too quickly or cut out too many calories. Most reputable sources recommend losing no more than about 1-2 pounds per week. This can be dangerous and may leave you feeling weak, tired and low in essential nutrients. Keep in mind that as you shed pounds you'll gradually have to work harder to maintain your weight. Having a low weight decreases your BMR and the number of calories you burn from exercise, meaning you'll have to further lower the number of calories you eat per day or exercise harder to continue to lose weight. Take in more calories than you burn through daily activities and exercise to help you gain weight. You can do this by increasing the number of calories you eat or decreasing the amount of calories you spend through exercise or with a combination of both. Regardless of your reason to gain weight, choose healthy, yet high calorie foods to help you meet a higher calorie goal. Choosing fried, processed or other unhealthy foods isn't ideal. Note that some exercise is necessary to maintain good health. Don't discontinue exercise unless instructed by your doctor. Though everyone's physical activity needs are different, most medical sources recommend about two and a half hours of moderate aerobic exercise with strength training on two days out of the week (or one and a half hours of intense aerobic exercise).
Summary: Start a food journal. Cut calories to lose weight. Increase calories to gain weight.

Problem: Article: Laws governing tobacco products cover smokeless tobacco. In December 2019, the federal minimum age was raised to 21 in all US states. Smokeless tobacco is a legal product, but you don't want to enjoy it while breaking the law by pretending to be of age, or purchasing it for someone who is underage. There are a variety of smokeless products out there. Their use is pretty similar, so your preference will really come down to personal taste. Moist snuff. This tobacco has been fermented, aged, and finely chopped up. It is packed into tins. As the name suggests, this is slightly moistened, as opposed to dry snuff, which is powdery, and can be taken by sniffing it into your nose. This is the most common form of dipping tobacco sold in the US, and the kind you are most likely to see in stores. Loose-leaf tobacco. Another common form of chewing tobacco, these leaves have been dried and fermented, then sold in foil packets. Plug tobacco. In this form, the tobacco has been packed tightly together with molasses, or some other adhesive, into a block. You'll either cut or bit off a piece of the block to use it. You may also find twist tobacco, which a similar form where the tobacco has been braided into long strands. Snus. This is a newer form, originally developed in Scandinavia. The tobacco is put in individual packets, and may be flavored with a variety of sweeteners. There are differences between snus made in the United States compared to countries like Sweden, such as amount of tobacco in a packet, which can lead into differences in physical effects on your mouth. Compared to smoking, there are fewer restrictions on where you can use smokeless tobacco. Because you are going to be spitting, though, you will want to be somewhere where you can do that politely, or at least have a bottle or something you can spit into. You don't want to be doing something physically active, as you'll want to avoid accidentally swallowing the tobacco or your spit. A relaxing activity like reading, watching television, or hanging out with friends, can be a good complement to dipping. Avoid doing other things with your mouth while dipping, like eating or drinking. You don't want to mix your food with the dip.
Summary: Be of legal age to purchase tobacco. Decide what kind of smokeless tobacco you want. Get somewhere you can use the tobacco.

Problem: Article: Each airline has different physical requirements tailored to the dimensions of their planes. Airlines want to make sure that flight attendants are tall enough to reach the overhead bins, but not so tall that their head hits the ceiling of the plane. Airlines also require that flight attendants be able to sit in a seat and buckle the seat belt comfortably. The height range for most airlines is between 5'0" - 5' 1" and 5'8" - 6'3". Some airlines do not have height requirements, but instead require that you be able to reach a certain height. The minimum age requirement ranges between 18-21 years old depending on the airline. There is no maximum age as long as you pass all medical requirements There is no numerical weight requirement, but many airlines do a visual assessment, looking at weight in proportion to height. In the 1960s, flight attendants were required to be females of a certain weight, and to retire before they reached a certain age. Some airlines continued these discriminatory practices through the 1980s and 1990s. Now men can be flight attendants, there is no numerical weight requirement, and people may continue working as flight attendants until they're ready to retire. Airlines won't hire people who don't have their GED, but no higher education is required. That said, airlines do look favorably upon people who have a college degree or even a few years of college under their belt. It shows that you're ambitious and able to handle a challenge. Some companies offer "flight training programs," but this is not a requirement before applying to airlines. You'll receive training if you're hired as a flight attendant. The primary role of a flight attendant is to provide excellent customer service, so it really helps if you've worked in a similar role before. There are many types of jobs that count as customer service experience: answering phones for a company, working in retail, or working at the front desk of a small business all require interacting with and helping the public. This isn't a mandatory requirement for all airlines, but it will help give you an edge.
Summary:
Meet the physical requirements. Have your GED. Have some customer service experience.
