Roommate was drinking last night and that makes him honest

I was talking to him about my plan to start working out again and getting back in shape, and he said, "You can't change your body shape, it's just who you are. And your chubby cheeks are hereditary."

It kind of deflated me to the point where I don't even want to work out. What's the point? He's right, I can't change my body shape. I'm always gonna be big because I'm built big. 😞 Wide shoulders can't be changed with weight loss. My cheeks are hereditary, both my grandma and my mom had them, when they were not overweight.

He must have noticed the look on my face because he said, "Just accept who you are, however you are." But that's not easy when society is constantly telling you you're second-rate because you're not built with curves like a Coke bottle.

Listen you need to work out for the health benefits physically and ey

Listen to me. Completely unbiased observer. Nothing to gain or lose.

First off, I just looked at your photos and you are a very beautiful woman. No doubt about that. Believe me. Don't let society make you feel like you are supposed to look like some kind of swimsuit model. Those people are rare and not necessarily happy. You should be happy because of your natural beauty.

Second. There's a lot to be gained by working out for your health. And believe me you will feel better about yourself as you you feel yourself strengthen and and get more fit. So yes you were on the right track. I know that your roommate is right there but don't consider that he's the world's expert on anything.

If your body is inherently large than working out and maintaining healthy body tone becomes more important not less. It will make you feel better all around I'm pretty sure!

Why listen to him? Working out will make you healthier and you'll feel better. That's what matters.

Start working out for your own well being. You may find it will also improve your mental state also. As for “society”, until they pay your bills or take care of you they have no say. Most of the ideal types are unattainable anyway, and to be honest; real men like real women. Sure we may lust after the “perfect woman” but want to be with the confident, intelligent one.
Fuq that ! Work out for you ...and making yourself feel good ...being healthy is more important than any body type ..

I think you should use what he said as an incentive to prove him wrong. By working out and eating healthy, you will definitely see improvements in your body and start feeling better about yourself. It can truly change your whole attitude as you see and feel the changes in your body. I say go for it! You could even start with a personal trainer to help you get on the right path.

You look fine and theres no problem working out to feel better. Who knows, maybe you'll lose some weight and like yourself better

@ronisme1 I agree. Your working out gets you strong even in a disciple sense.

Do it ...fck the taxi driver and his drunken opinions..do it for you.

Ugh .. not the most helpful of friends.

Looks are important .. I get it .. but you are an attractive woman. If you want to pursue changes, dont let ill informed opinions hold you back.

You can change your level of health/ fitness, which nearly always enhances appearance. That will even change some features to an extent.

Set your mind on what you want and work toward it.

Don’t listen to him. Go workout.

Getting fit isn't something you do to fit in, you do it for yourself so that you are strong enough to withstand what life throws at you.

Nothing wrong with your cheeks that I can see.

If working out makes you feel better, then go for it. Who cares what that douche tells you.
Bullshit.

But whether you think you can, or you can’t, you’re right.

Don’t let anyone ever tell you that you can’t achieve something. Only you have the answer to that.

You could also say that’s one dip shit’s opinion
Work out so you can be strong and then punch him in the face and tell him you disagree as he's rolling around on the floor with a broken nose. Follow me for more relationship advice.
