It makes your body look nice, even if you have an ugly face. If nothing else, that should give you confidence. Other than that, it's proven that exercise will make you feel better both physically and emotionally.

who here /NaturallyMuscularButFat/ ?

I developed huge pecs, arms, calfs and thighs while going through puberty. I was getting bullied because of my huge pec because guys though I had manboobs. I never really took of my t shirts, until one day in the gym class.
Some guy tried to pinch my chest when I flexed it out of being surprised. They guy started complimenting me as he noticed it was mostly muscle not fat. This is basically how my bullies stopped bullying me.

Having a wider frame sucks because every tshirt and pants will look silly on you. They are always tight in some parts and lose in others.
I wish I had a more slim frame so I could wear normal clothes that fit me perfectly.

Well there's your problem you big dummy. Intense physical exertion breaks down muscle fibers. You need to consume an appropriate amount of calories per day for growth and recovery. Working out hard while on a coloric deficit will eventually gain you a hard, ripped physique, but you won't gain any size and you'll feel like shit all the time. YOU NEED TO EAT

I'm overweight and go to college for engineering. I'm 6'2", ~260 lbs. last I checked. I enjoy working out when no one can see me or when I'm in my hometown gym (hardly anyone my age). I have been doing a lot of exercises and dancing in my room starting this semester (it wouldn't be cringe-worthy if I were thin because I'm actually getting pretty good with the dancing (it still looks pathetic because I'm fat af)). I just hate being seen by fit people when I'm at the gym. Especially hot girls my age. They are all judging me, and I don't need that shit. Before you say "no one is judging you, you're at the gym, you're taking steps to get healthy" you can shut the fuck up because that shit isn't true at all. Just saying shit like "you're taking steps to fix that" means you already think I'm a fat tub of lard. Everyone judges everyone by their appearance, and I hate being the only fat guy at the gym. Being overweight at the gym is fucking lonely too at this age. College gyms are full of hot young sexy people who only look at you to judge.

Just once I would love to deadlift beyond 2 plate though.
