I went for quite a few years thinking it was ok for a man to be "stocky". I had relatives who would tell me I was getting fat when in my eyes I was perfectly content with how I "filled out". I was quite the skinny kid growing up and even went the route of drinking protein shakes so I could gain weight! The next think I knew I was about 40lbs over the weight I should have been. I did not feel all that fat. I thought I looked fine. However can can understand how someone who is self-loathing can wallow in their pity and feel like giving up. I just wanted to point out that their can be another side of the proverbial coin.</p>
