I'll tell the kindergartners on Monday.

I'm right at/near the intellectual level of your students,

Maybe in a few years you'll reach their level :p

I think some people get too caught up on the superficial aspect of exercising/eating right. They obsess with checking their weight every day and looking in the mirror for drastic changes. Don't do it to lose weight or look better. Just do it to prolong your life and feel better. It starts to really matter once you hit your thirties like me

I feel fine. I'm not going to lie, I'm ONLY in it for looks. The doctor pretty much told me straight up that I was healthy and I shouldn't worry, but I want to get the girls looking my direction. Having a six pack will make up for the horrible thing setting on my shoulders that calls itself a face.

That's not going to help. The general negative self attitude is what will make you unappealing.

I figure, due to my low self esteem, I don't talk to girls. I figure, if I can get my looks up enough, I might be able to get them to come to me, and then I'll feel good enough about myself to do better.

We also have to remember that we're talking about high school girls. Literally, I will not get attention from any of these girls until around late college, when suddenly they want someone who isn't a 'roided up douche-nozzle.

As someone who is going through something similar right now, it really doesn't work that way. With that mentality, what happens is that you end up in a vicious cycle, never thinking that you're good enough. You'll start obsessing over little flaws and it will leave you feeling worse than when you started. Trust me on this.

So I should embrace my chubbiness?

My main pet peeve is the man boobs. I don't mind the gut nearly as much as the man boobs.

try working out a daily exercise routine, start slow maybe walk a mile a day or bike for an hour. Throw out all unhealthy snacky food from your house, If its not there you can't eat it. You would be surprised how much a lifestyle change can boost your self esteem.

^ That's some good advise.

Though, I will say that while the ultimate goal is a healthy lifestyle, throwing out all the unhealthy snack food at once may be too quick. The idea is to ease into things. Having a goal is good, but if you get too gung-ho and try a complete lifestyle change without any kind of transition period, you're liable to fail. I've seen it happen before.

Junk food isn't an issue, we don't keep it.

Exercise is my largest issue. I by no means have a good diet, but guys half my size eat twice as much as me and twice as bad, and only do a little lifting a day, so I shouldn't really have issues, in all honesty.

Its just hard to compete looks wise with guys on 'roids.
