Ever been out of shape?

I am mostly talking about the ones that went to college, because it can rarely happen to schoolkids, but anyway:

have you ever been out of shape? And realized it only when you didn't fit into your pants or your gut jiggled so much you felt like a water balloon? Luckily, I myself haven't been so far, but a friend of mine who goes to college stopped going to the gym, ate lots of Burger Kings, and partied late at night, and the result is an extra 50 pounds. He only came to realize it when he found out his moob was now a boob. He doesn't dare to look himself in the mirror :P

Anyway, what's your rather misfortune story? (btw I think this happens more to girls than to boys at that age)

isnt partying a good form of excerise?Mr_Kowaski

depends if you counter act all the partying you're doing with the calaries in alcohol, i know there is a health site that lists sex as a good form of exercise so if the partying leads to llots of it then i guess you could call it a good form of exercise

Yeah, a lot actually. I use to be fit and skinny, over the years I just sorta stopped caring about exercise and subsequently I've gotten way havier than I was in my late teens.

Can't say I really care too much, I don't feel I look bad or anything, I'm just fine with my appearance. I've never been the sort to dress provocatively to begin wiith. My special someone has been with me since I've been skinny and doesn't seem to care at all either. So it's one big happily indifferent matter. I might get into exercise eventually, if it becomes a real issue, for now it doesn't matter much.

For some reason, everyone who has found his 'special someone' and gets out of shape doesn't care about going back to fitness....

you don't need as many calories as you did when you get older. People dont realize this and get fat IMO. Unless you are always active, once you get that 9 to 5 job and have to spend with family, etc, its tough.

You have to make some lifestyle changes and suddenly have to apply discipline and work at being in shape when you didn't have to before.

Well, like I said, if it were an issue honestly effected my health or self esteem, I would do something about it. Or if it were effecting how my partner viewed me. It just doesn't right now, so it's a nonissue. I don't understand why I have to be fit, because society tells me to? The models are fit, so that must be beauty, because the ads call it beauty, and I must achieve that in order to be happy like them! It's rubbish if you ask me, I'll stay doughey kthx

Actually during my university time I went really underweight. I went days at a time when I wouldn't eat anything because I'd spend all my money on other things.

Now, for my height and build I'm about right. I've always had very wide shoulders, I was a Rugby player in my youth, and so when I was underweight I looked stupider than I would have done if I was overweight.

Well, nobody can urge you to, but usually fitness comes par up with higher self-esteem. Who doesn't feel good when he looks at his body in the mirror and is content by what he sees? On the other hand, it's tougher to accept oneself when someone's is not really in shape...oh yeah, and I'm no super-model either. I do jogging and stuff, so I have my share of little flab lines and love handles, but nothing too pointy.

However, don't wait for health problems to come in to lose weight. Don't lose any either, but keep the weight in stability...at least that's what doctors tell all the time.

i dont want to offend you but there are things that are caused by poor diet and exercise that once you have it wont go away with good diet and exercise (like diabeties which doesnt go away at all)Serraph105

Yepperino, I'm aware. Don't think I'm quite at risk for anything like that, but I appreciate your concern. A few girlfriends of mine are on top of giving me the same lecture. Which is funny because theiy're heavy smokers, but that's a different story. Like I said, if I showed any real signs of health issues, I'd do something. I just have no desire to go out of my way to be fit, when I don't even particularly want to look fit.

Fitness can also come with a sense of never being good enough, never being skinny enough, never meeting societies standards. I'm actually content and happy about how I look, like if I gain weight, oh well, if I lose weight oh well, it doesn't matter to me, I'm just comfortable in my skin. How many women can say that? Don't really see the point in going out and trying to look a certain way, for whom? Like I said, my appearance is fine by me, and the only other person who's opinion of my appearance matters.

I know I might seem indifferent about my health, and that's really not the case, I pay an obsessive amount of attention to my health and well being. Right nowI have a clean bill of health, happy with how I look and how I feel, my life in general. I have no urge to alter myself in any way, I'm perfectly content.

Well, that's good to hear.

There are many things that can come with being fit and sporty, most common being what I stated. Not that the other rarily happens, but at least, it didn't with me. Usually that happens to a person that had always low self-esteem about himself or psychological problems with his outer appearance, and seeing as you don't have either of those, you'll most definitely not end up like them.

By being content and not having any health problems, I assume you're not even fat, but have a bit of more weight than when you used to be skinny?

And for anyone overweight and out of shape, try your hardest to find a physical activity you enjoy. That is very tough to do at least for me.

But once you find that, life is so much better (i found a martial art).

But the secret is you have to ENJOY it. I find straight exercise boring. I wish i didnt though

Nah, I am overweight. I use to be around 105lbs when I was like 17, now I'm around 170 at 23. My weight moves like the tide, around Spring and Summer I usually am pretty active, so I tend to lose some weight, around this time of year I have a habbit of gaining weight. It just sort of happens, and so far I have no health issues or anything, so I really don't view it as an issue of any sort.

Well, you don't have to. At first I thought you were over 220 lbs, but 170 seems fine to me. I was 120 in my 13 years of age and now I am 17 and about 150.

I just hope I don't get to turn out as my friend during college.

I've got out of shape :| I've gained 2 stone since last Christmas and I'm really unhappy with the way I've become. Whenever I start eating healthy I always feel tired and empty and working in a pizza shop doesn't help :| As for exercising I don't have the time and I have to wait until Christmas when I get Wii Fit.tofu-lion91

Err 4 days before Braindead_hero went for a KFC and I went along too :? And I love pasta - can't get enough of the stuff. Yeh I know that's my downfall :| For the 4 days of eating healthy I had a bowl of cereal (I always eat breakfast), 2 apples, Weight Watchers snack thingys and a sandwich during the day. I wish there was a quick way to lose weight, I always give up because the effects aren't immediate. Still, I'm fed up with feeling fat :(

If you're just 'feeling' fat, you need to work on your self esteem not your body. Except if you really are fat, which I doubt.

I think that's plenty for a day at college. If I ate anymore I'd just be putting on weight...

Nude_Dude

Yeh I've always had problems with self esteem which have got worse the more weight I've put on. I just need to sort myself out and I'll be fine.

Hmm. Just out of curiosity, where has most of the fat went on your body people? It varies from man to man....Nude_Dude

Seriously, a skinny girl with tiny boobs is more attractive than a fat whale with big ones (there used to be a 13 yr old in my class on 8th grade that had big bouncy boobs and all, but she was very fat, and that was gross) IMO.
