I do understand that part, everyone has a life. Someone here said it good i think it was Espi or Throttle. When your goal is to lose a good deal of body fat (the same also goes for people looking to gain muscle) ..there is nothing convenient about it. Thats why so many people fall short. What to do is the easy part, doing it is the hard part. It sucks since your life revolves around the diet, your all alone, your friends/family aren't following any kind of a diet so its even harder, but you just have to PLAN AHEAD OF TIME and figure out what your going to do in advance, and use your will power, also figure out you goals and why this is important to you.HandyAndy said:
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Yes, Throttle made a post on this recently.
Only you are going to make it happen. School isn't a problem at all. I used to take shakes and meat laden sandwiches (not for you-sandwiches that is).
I had to make them and pack them. Mummy isn't going to do it for you.

Your bigger problem is the lag in squats compared to bench and dead lift. To be frank with you, I'd pee my pants laughing if I saw you in the gym squatting that much after benching and dead lifting that much. Do you see my point? Otherwise, good progress. You'll figure out the diet problem soon enough if you work at trying to figure it out hard enough.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Yeah man, your bench is *good* 
keep up with the solid process and the fat will start coming off faster as well mate.
Not everyone was built to squat, so you'll have a harder time with squats but over time you'll make them your b*tch. So don't listen to any bullsh*t that people give you.

Andy, look in JohnnyIrish's log on the last two pages for stuff on box squatting. I think that would be beneficial for you as well. Try and get a video if you can so we can see what is going on better.
Keep it up. One step at a time.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I posted a great thread in the above log on box squatting.
You could start off with a bench if you can squat onto it whilst maintaining your arch. You will eventually have to get another item to use as a box (adjustable) so you can lower it over time. That is assuming if the bench puts you above parallel which I assume it would.

There isnt anything at the gym besides the bench that I could use.

About the squats...
Your feet point out for stability. Try widening your stance a little and keep your toes pointed slightly out still.
If your back is arching, try stiffening your core(flex abs and arse) while doing the movement.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
