Changing in the lockerroom

[Hello64]

Hi I'm starting high school next year and taking gym is a must meaning we have to change in front of each other. I would be fine with it but I'm quite overweight. I want to try to lose weight over the summer but that's what I said last year and nothing happened.

Should I hold off on taking gym until I'm in better shape?

Get to a gym NOW and start getting in shape. A trainer at the gym will put you on a safe routine to body improvement. You will feel better physically and emotionally as well. Do not put it off go find a gym or Y this week.

I would take it to get it out of the way. And nobody cares how u look

Don't hold off taking gym otherwise others
will wonder y and then u might get teased.
Start now watching what u eat and get some
exercise doing chores or walking to burn off
some of the weight. Its uncomfortable the first
few times changing in front of others but as time
goes on u get used to it and it is less stressful.

I'm not overweight but I still hate getting changed for p.e. or games infront of the others in my class. Its just embarrassing especially if youre shy.

Don't take the gym. Exercise at home. Having a gym membership does NOT boost your will to exercise and get in shape. If you are not able to get in shape as it is at home, neither will you be able to at the gym. You need to train your brain at home and push yourself. Once you start gaining progress without the gym, then consider the gym.

I don't think you should really care about others' comments on your weight. Losing weight should be a personal matter. In other words, you should exercise if you only want to. It's healthier, of course, but it shouldn't be a decision made out of that "fear" of getting teased.

As for the changing in front of other people thingy itself, you should be able to get used to it pretty quickly.

I would take gym and it will help in your effort to build your body and loose weight. Lay off the junk food and candy and drink water instead of sodas. Try to go for walks or jogs and do some sit ups and other exercises. If your family doesn't eat right and healthier foods ask your parents to please cook better foods to help you get your weight down.

Changing naked in front of other boys is not a big deal. I promise you will get used to that quickly. I do not know how overweight you are. If you consider yourself to be fat. But sad to say, fat kids get teased. I don't do that and I don't agree with it. But it does happen where we go to school.

I agree, and unless they're used to it, there are probably other guys that are gonna be self-conscious about getting changed in front of other guys. And yeah, people get teased sometimes ... but it's probably gonna happen to plenty of guys, not just you ... it's just something that happens in locker rooms. If you can laugh it off or whatever, then they'll move on pretty quick. I don't agree with it and there's times I've helped guys that are getting teased really badly for whatever reason.

I know it's hard taking showers. This past year some older kids were making fun of me because my dick was real small and they were much longer and fatter. So yeah it happens. But other than that I never had any problems. Some of my friends are over weight they get naked and shower. No one says nothing. I think it ha s a lot with self confidnece. It really bothered me and hurt my feelings when the older guys made fun of me. I was so embarassed. I posted it on VT and I got a lot of good advice. If it happens again to me I will be better prepared. My advice strip down and take a shower.
