I don't think I've ever will, back in 2010 the group I used to hang out with were all ripped to the gills and good looking, I was the fat one, not obese mind you 5'11 and 190 pounds was overweight but not to the point of a health concern. Since 2012 I've been exercising regularly, doing grappling and Muay Thai. At the beginning of the year I took 4 months off to train for an amateur fight, I've won thankfully, not sure if I would like to go through that again. My body didn't changed much I was still a skinny fat ass. I wanted to train something new, so since July I've been doing Crossfit, still looked like a skinny fat ass, then about a month ago I went to a nutricionist, she actually has a doctorate so I trust her, she gave me a diet based on my body type, I've been eating clean for about a month now: no alcohol, no smoking, no salt, no sugar, only eating organic, only eat good complex carbs...pretty much everything tastes like shit. Basically I've put myself through hell so I can prove the guys I used to hang out that I too can look like them, and I'm also proving myself something. I'm trying to fight genetics and evolution, f*** I'm trying to fight the natural order pretty much. I think that even when I reach my goal I would still hate the way I look. I also don't consider myself handsome, a girl actually told me that I look like Pedro Pascal from game of thrones, not sure if that's a good thing.

I probably SHOULDN'T be. I'm a big, balding fat dude who's got a slightly lopsided face (Got a tooth knocked up into it in a fight and it killed some nerves or something) but I just can't sweat it too much. My girlfriend tells me "You look exactly the way a guy with your story would look." I guess she finds it charming.

Yes and no. On the no side, I'm about 40 pounds heavier than I'd like to be, and my self-esteem takes frequent beatings as a result. As a chubby kid and then skinny as hell teenager, I took my teenage skinniness for granted, which bums me out in retrospect. I was so incredibly thin and ate whatever the hell I wanted. I should have spent that time committing myself to some sport or fitness activity while I could easily do it to get in the rhythm.
My problem is that I love food so much -- not just fast food but all kinds of food from all kinds of culture. I love food with the same way I love things like music and movies -- I'd like to try everything and spend my free time enjoying the best and most interesting of what is available. I think about food all the time and eat compulsively. I feel like committing to training toward something would change my life -- above all else, I'd love to learn the basics of some form of fighting -- but that requires a few things I don't have now (i.e., money to spend on it, someone to train with). There is a boxing gym near my place that I sometimes think is calling my name, though.

If you ever feel bad about how you look, just go to a water park or a Wal Mart on a weekend. You'll feel like you have the body of a Greek god in no time.
