They're all just airbrushed models enforcing a double-standard in society by making us aspire to be something no human can possibly achieve....
OK, serious now.
I got a little bit of a paunch even though I can outrun and outfight just about any average joe... occurred because I was horribly overweight during my teenage years and lost almost all of it but I got a reminder with me for the rest of my life. It's bad being fitter than most, but also having the love handles and a bit of a gut because I see the fire performers with ripped abs, no shirts, etc, and think "how can i compete with that." But ya know what, I just do... people look at the fire, and the technique, and my passion for it, not at me personally. At least, I believe so

dio i hope ur not implying that engineers are tubby. ive done an engineering degree and am now doing a phd and im far from flabby the reason being i train hard and regularly and look after my body and mind. if you want to look good its not that hard all u have to do is regular exercise. most ppl actually have wicked abs but u cant see them as there is a layer of fat on top that hides all the definition.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

On the workout note - I work out almost every day... Tae Kwon Do for 2 hours on T-Th nights, Distance Running all the other days, with a very healthy diet (no soda, salads for meals, etc) and yet I still cannot get past the point I'm at without resorting to measures so extreme I risk my own health (like back when I was swimming a mile a day and couldn't lose an ounce).
Anyone else experience this problem, or preferably, find a solution to it???

better to be fat and happy than skinny and hungry.
being able to count ribs without stretching is scary.

The pessimist fears this is true.
