That's cute. whee Please don't take it negatively, I appreciate guys with a soft side, that's all.
I believe back problems are pretty common nowadays, even I have a very slight scoliosis. I need to work on my back muscles, so my spine won't be strained that much anymore.
I'm also quite poor... sweatdrop But I try to take in as much protein as possible, eggs, tuna and white meat. Also lots and lots of vegetables! A friend of mine who works out regularly told me that it's easier to build up mass, if you have 4-5 smaller meals per day, instead of 2-3 bigger ones. There are also training techniques to build up muscle mass faster.
Isn't it reason enough to work out to appreciate the results yourself and feel less weak? wink

I can't cook. I can only eat what goes in the microwave, unless mom fixes it, which she usually doesn't. We can't buy fruits/veggies if they're fresh because they're expensive and have to be eaten right away. We spend our money on stuff that will last between paydays.
Exercise requires changing your lifestyle habits. Right now my lifestyle habits involve never leaving my computer. My only friends are online and one person IRL that lately only talks to me online, and it's really important to me that I finish my comic strip (you have to sit down to draw). I used to take time out of my day for working out and stretching and stuff, but then my guy friend in high school would just push me around and rub my nose in the fact that no matter how hard I try, I'll never be able to compete with a real guy. So I quit. Then later after high school I took it up again, could not get any results whatsoever except abs, and quit again. It's pointless unless you have a lot to eat all the time regularly, not just the day after payday. For some reason nobody believes me about the food/money problem.
I can not ever get my arms to look like anything. Even women in the olympics, super bodybuilders, can just barely get their arms big enough to look like a really slim guy.
In high school I asked to be judged on the presidential physical fitness test, supervised by the army, by the boys' scale instead of the girls'. The gym teacher refused because "To be honest I don't think you can handle it."
I passed everything, everything on the test, by the boys' standards except the stuff that required running. I can't run because of my ace bandage. I can't breathe, I start coughing up weird s**t in my throat, etc. That was my amazing fantastic achievement in life. "Okay, you only have to do one pull-up." *does 22 instead*
And nobody cared but me. It's a waste of time. Nobody gives a s**t. If anyone was impressed, they were afraid to say so. Nobody treated me any more like a guy after that than they did before. Nobody respected me any more than they did before.
If I had a boyfriend in real life I would get my pretty abs back. Otherwise, I'll just keep typing these lengthy guild posts and drawing pictures. It hurts to put that much work into something and get absolutely nothing out of it.
