Yes. And in my younger years I was almost a professional bodybuilder. About a year ago I decided to do something about it and went on a mission. I'm no fitness model, but I feel better about myself and know that my health is in check.
I don't think its helpful to think of yourself as ugly and fat littlesongbird. You are a person that has value, just like the rest of us. Maybe make your physical fitness a project that you can work on for awhile? that's what I did and its kind of fun.
