Having less bodymass = living longer.

Strangely enough being 300lbs of muscle at 10% bodyfat is less healthy then being 300lbs at 60% bodyfat.
>>
>>42692956

Where do you work that you get respect for being fit? I always heard "Look at mr healthy over there eating his healthy food" or "bet he spends most his time working out" followed by chuckles from the other fat drunks I work with.

The only people that respect me are other fit people. I get health shamed.

This also goes for college. First time in college I used to be a withdrawn fat slob. Now second time around I'm /fit/ and suddenly people expect me to lead in group projects and shit.

>>42695034
Not necessarily.
Being short has complications. Mostly stress related.

But average height low weight men who tend to under eat and remain relatively stress free and active(but not too) will..barring cancer or undiagnosed medical conditions live the longest.
>>
>>42695037
Subliminal, fit people generally have the discipline to get things done.
Other people can pick up on this without realizing it.
Most fat people are lazy and don't follow through on projects, most fit people are more able to work to achieve their goals.

wonder what the curve looks like, can't imagine 6'2-6'4 being much behind 5'2-5'4

>>
>>42693537
Yup. Number one reason. I've lost 91lbs so far and probably have another 30 or 40 to go - but damn, never felt better in my whole life and early on I noticed that when I was ill and missed workouts for a week - the depression, anxiety and all that crap started to seep back in - which itself can be a fucker for getting remotivated again.

So now, I've come to the conclusion that even when I reach my goal weight, I'm going to keep on working out at least 3-4 times a week because it makes me feel good and keeps me full of energy. Can't stop, won't stop.

It has nothing to do with you working out, it's either because of your personality or the fact that you shove your healthy shit into everyone's face.

>Aside from this big ass list of stuff
I'm happiest when I'm achieving, so I'm happiest when I'm lifting, coding, and shooting.

- Career prospects increase; my wife works for a top 50 employer in the US and the Vice President of her divsion admits (secretly) that he won't hire fat dumps to work for him because he believes they lack self control and discipline and he doesn't want that. Now you don't have to be Chad or anything, just be able to skip that meal between breakfast and brunch. True story bro.

Yeah, I would never hire a fat fuck. It immediately shows a lack of discipline and care about one's life in general.

It's not like when you lift and get in fantastic shape your mental problems vanish, but they are a hell of alot more manageable and your thought process perspective improves as well

Energy boost.

I work two shifts, 7:00am-2:00pm and 5:00-9:00pm monday to friday. I had lots of work-related stuff to do out of the office and couldn't fit them in my schedule, so I decided I'd dedicate my rest hours on wednesday to that instead of going to the gym.

Every wednesday it was HELL going back to work for my second shift. I felt sleepy, exhausted, and even when I got more stuff done, I definitely wasn't performing as well as I did the days I worked out in between shifts.

I went back to working out monday to friday and not only I go back to work with that endorphine charge, I'm actually more motivated to get stuff done.

Came here to post this. I use exercise to manage and vent anger. I just made the rule one day that if I've got time and energy to be pissed, I've got time to do reps. Over time I've grown less angry about things, and work out more regularly.
