    If you honestly think that, you're not trying. Also, weight training is bullshit if all you're looking to do is get in shape. You can do everything you need to get ripped with floor space and a good pair of shoes. Hell, if you want to get in shape, challenge yourself to one day be able to pass a Marine Corps physical fitness test. 80 crunches in under 2 minutes, 3 miles in under 28 minutes and 3 dead hang pullups. That's the bare minimum. Also, eating healthy is way cheaper than not, seriously.

    That's true I guess. I'll concede to that. Honestly though I'm just looking to get into shape and loose this belly I got. So I've been running about a mile and a half every other day and doing push-ups crunches every day twice a day.

    I've kind of stopped the pass week or so due to school though, but no one to blame but myself really. I just wish Target had some produce or something because I don't have a car to get to a grocery store regularly.

    Actually for some people smoking gets them in even worse shape as it leads to inactivity.

    This. I used to get name called for being skinny sometimes, and people used to think it was okay because they thought it wasn't the same as being mean to someone who was chubby. When it is. I tried everything I could think of to put on weight, the milkshakes for people who've been ill, eating heavy calorie foods and so on, and none of it worked. The backlash of "normal-sized people" has made being slim a pretty unattractive thing it seems. I'm pretty short so I'm in proportion, but the emphasis on "big is beautiful" has made a lot of skinny girls feel they're ugly for being slim naturally.

    Haha, nah.

    Also I know a girl who is super-skinny but actually suffers from an eating disorder. It's really weird, because you can see she's malnourished. Even her bones feel soft, to the point where I'm pretty sure I could break her ribs if I hugged her really hard.

    I'm naturally in a good shape, but I kinda automatically watch what I eat..
    I eat veggies at least once a day, haven't used sugar in about 10 years, drive everywhere with my bike, run 2 times a week.
    I couldn't even NOT eat healthy, it would be fucking disgusting to me

    I think it's funny that people make comparisons to smokers and fat people all the time. When you're a smoker, you're constantly being bombarded with people telling you that you shouldn't smoke and you agree with them because it's true. But you like smoking and you don't give a fuck.

    The problem I have with fat people is that they pretend like they're okay with it. They act all entitled to shit because they've decided to be fat fucks. Well that's not cool. Part of consciously making unhealthy lifestyle choices is that you have to be willing to shoulder the lambasting that comes from it. No one tells you to stop being unhealthy because you're a bad person, they tell you to lose weight because it's extremely unhealthy and they care about you.

    Also because your veiny skin, stretched to a translucent haze over your maximized circumference, is hard to look at.

    i've been sitting on this gym membership for like two weeks coming up with excuses for why i shouldn't start going until the situation is perfect

    like "oh, but i can just practice form at home, and then when i go i won't look like an idiot" or "but i don't have a car right now, i should handle that first" or "the friend who wants to be my gym partner can't go yet, i can just wait until he can go"

    i'm on my way back from somewhere and i think i'll just stop by the gym and see if i can learn to do a dang ol squat

    can't hurt

    I have a friend who got in a huge car accident when she was 16, shattered her hip and everything, she was lucky to be alive. She eats healthy, exercises, but is prone to her hip dislocating during that, and does all the right things. It just seems like she can't loose it.

    I took a flight with her to NYC once on southwest. She isn't morbid, and not really that big at all. The seats are so small on Southwest that she needed a seat belt extender. It was heartbreaking to see her break down right there because she is trying as hard as she can.

    For real, bro. I'm all about push-ups. I change my exercising habits a lot, but there was a time where all I was doing was doing as many push-ups as I could as soon as I rolled out of bed in the morning. Once I got to 100, I turned to crunches. 10 minutes after I woke up every morning I was done exercising, with a little bit of a sweat going on and my blood pumping. Then I'd ride my bike everywhere for some cardio and I was golden.

    I was super-skinny in highschool, because I grew like crazy. at 14, I was 6'2" and probably 140 soaking wet. When I graduated I was 6'6" and 165. I seriously looked like Jack Skellington. But then I joined the Marines and boot camp put me up to 210. Now I'm around 200. I look more like an Ent now, than the Pumpkin King.

    No problem, brother. Being strong rules. Plus, the human body is fantastic, and once you get even a light workout routine going regularly, your metabolism will start going up. You'll have more energy, more strength and you'll be able to eat more without feeling like you're just piling food in your system for the sake of it.
