When You Feel Extremely Angry with someone I should do you do then or later on…
1. Let it Happen

---

You’ve been given a wide spectrum of emotions for a reason, so use them. Suppressing your anger is unhealthy. It can lead to ulcers and heart disease, never mind the damage it can do to your relationships and overall sense of well-being. This might seem strange, but try it! The next time you’re not expressing yourself, just picture a little Meg Ryan on your shoulder: “Fester fester fester, rot rot rot.”

---

If you attempt to hide or ignore your anger, it won’t go away. It might subside for a certain amount of time, but eventually it will manifest itself elsewhere.

---

Don’t apologize for or excuse your anger. You’re angry for a valid reason, and acknowledging it is the first step toward resolving what’s bothering you.
2. Separate Emotion from Action
You’ll likely want to pull a Godzilla and destroy everything in your path, but it’s important to take a step back and feel the emotion before you take action on it, especially when you feel extremely angry—let the anger take its course. Prematurely deciding to take action may cause more angst than waiting to give perspective to your anger.

---

After you’ve cooled off, you might find:

---

The situation wasn’t as big a deal as you thought.
In the long run it will lead to better things for you.
It will take more than an outburst to solve the issue.
Or, you might find your anger was triggered by something completely different.
3. Identify Why
Extreme anger typically stems from a build-up of smaller annoyances. It’s like lighting a match: a person or situation rubs you the wrong way and your suppressed emotions flood to the surface. What’s awkward about this level of anger is when it strikes: it tends to hit at inconvenient times, such as while you’re at work or out with loved ones.

---

The problem isn’t the delay in dealing with your anger, it’s when the delay turns into avoiding it altogether. Either the initial rage subsides and you try to shrug it off, or you’re so consumed by your schedule that you simply add it to the pile of unresolved issues.

---

The next time you feel extremely angry, don’t just promise yourself you’re going to deal with it at a more appropriate time—pencil in alone time. Make it happen.
4. Cool Off with Exercise
A great outlet to reduce tension is physical activity: use your anger as fuel for a healthier lifestyle.

---

Test various workouts and figure out which are most effective at calming your anger. Some people prefer aggressive exercise, such as kickboxing or running, while others find quieter activities more beneficial, such as walking, gardening, or (gasp!) cleaning.

---

5. Delay Your Reaction
If you’re in a situation where dealing with your anger immediately isn’t an option, inhale deeply. As you exhale, count to ten or repeat a phrase that helps you relax. Keep doing so until you feel centered again.

I'm 6' and I weigh about 175 lbs, although I don't know for sure, I rarely look at a scale and instead judge by how my clothes fit and how I feel. People are always shocked that I weigh this much as well as the fact that I'm a size 10/12 (long length obviously, I'm all legs) because I look thin. But when you are tall you end up weighing more because that's a lot more body that exists. I'm happy with my weight. I have a flat stomach and I'm pretty active (walk a lot, also do Zumba and kickboxing several times a week). I'm kind of pear shaped and most of my weight is in my hips and thighs with a comparatively smaller waist and upper body. Even in high school when I was a competitive swimmer spending 2 hours a day in the pool doing intense training I was like 160.
I struggled with anorexia as a preteen/teenager and I had a hugely distorted view of what everyone around me looked like. I'd see a really pretty girl and be like "Damn I wish I was as skinny as she is" and then find out she weighed like 30lbs more than me. It was disconcerting! I was 5'4" and my weight fluctuated between 90lbs and 100lbs at that time. Now I usually stay around 125-ish. Gained some weight a while ago and went up to 140, now I'm back down to 130 and plan to either stay here or get back down to 125. But the really awesome thing about that whole experience was that I could still feel hot at 140lbs. I felt better about myself at that weight than I did fifty pounds ago. Which is fucking insane to think about to me. I feel hotter at 125-130 because that's just where I feel my body looks it's best, but it was a huge revelation to me to realize that even though I weighed 50lbs more than I did when I was starving myself because my body was so disgustingly fat to me I could still feel perfectly confident and not spiral into a deep, suicidal depression over it. Weight is a very tricky thing. Much more than just body fat and height play a role in how much you should weigh. For example, I have friends that naturally are big boned or have alot of muscle mass, so that should always be taken into account. Think of it like this- if youre 5'8, theres five feet, eight inches of a body you need to support- and theres no way to do that by obsessing over a number on a scale. it is still important, but giving your body what it needs to properly function for a very long time is just as important.
I am six feet tall. I currently weigh 188. I need to lose about 20 more pounds to be a "healthy" BMI. Even though BMI isn't the most accurate way to predict over-all health, it was helpful for me when picking a goal weight of 170 lbs on my weight loss journey. At my highest, I was 240lbs. Being tall was great in that even at 70lbs overweight, I didn't look "that" fat. It was also to my detriment, though, because I had very little motivation to actually lose weight since my appearance wasn't as drastic as shorter women.
