I have been working out for a while now and while I know I am healthier internally, you can't really see the difference on the outside. I'm definitely obese though, but that is something that I am continuing to work on. I realize this post is about more than just that though. They say dad bods are in these days...
I must be hot!
From the outside, I am not "that bad" however, I don't feel very good and I can feel the fat in the wrong places. It definitely has an affect on me physically, and I am too uncomfortable at the moment. I would like to drop about 20 pounds, but 10 would make a big difference already.
I agree, I would be happy to drop 20 pounds and I am not really happy with the way I look. The funny thing is, I hold all my weight in my middle, so my legs are totally skinny as well as my arms, but then I have this gut. When I work out, I can tell that my stamina, endurance, and strength is better though.
My body type is different to yours, as mine is pretty evenly spread, but more in the top half. I have very broad shoulders for my height though, which is probably because I would have likely been taller, if I hadn't have got chronically ill as a teen.
And probably self-esteem.
Only a little bit with the self esteem. I'm still not going to be that guy mowing his lawn with his shirt off, but maybe one day. My chicken legs are almost comical.
