Should I come through with this?

[Anonymous]

I'm 16, I joined a gym about two years ago but for the first few months I did just moderate training and I kicked it starting last summer but unfortunately my only visual results are on my arms. I have CF and being a fat ugly loser is all I know and I can't live like this anymore. I still have never had a girlfriend and everyone judges me as a loser but I wouldn't say they misjudge me. I keep trying and trying but I can't get rid of my stomach. Two weeks ago I weighed in at 217.0 pounds on my scale and yesterday it said 225.7 pounds and I'm 5'9", it may not sound like too much but most men who are way taller weigh much less. My doctors tell me to stay where I am but I'm sick of being inadequate and embarrassed to go to school. Almost every day I punch my stomach in frustration that I can't get rid of it. I feel my only option is to fast for the next four days, and don't eat lunch or any snacks. Should I come through with this?

Fasting won't work, your metabolism will shut down if you starve yourself. It's better to eat small meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism going.
If you're working out, like weightlifting, then you can't pay attention to the number on the scale. Muscle weighs more than fat. If you replace you fat with muscle then you will be fitter and stronger, but the number on the scale might actually go up. So don't pay attention to that.
If you feel like you are only seeing results in your arms, I would suggest talking to a trainer at the gym. If you are paying for membership, you should be able to talk to someone who knows the specific exercise that will work best for you. It might just be a matter of using a different machine.
And don't worry so much about being single. I know it sucks. But you're so young. Trust me, I know it's tough. I'm 23 and have never been in a relationship. I was 19 when I had my first kiss. But people really don't care if you've never been in a relationship before. If anyone even asks why (which I don't think they will), you just say that you haven't found the right person yet.
