If you don't eat enough before and after training, your body gets the energy it needs by breaking down your muscles to energy. Push ups on an empty stomach gives you less muscles.

oh man! could this be why i literally have no muscles?
so, um, self image. i am kind of weird because i am pretty vain - i mean, i think i am pretty aware of my flaws. i know that i am out of shape and i have a big nose and i tend to ramble a lot and i'm pretty awkward and i am really lazy and i gossip too much and... so on. but i've just accepted and gotten over the things i can't help (big nose) and try and change the things i can help (gossip) - although usually without much success. overall, though, i am pretty happy with myself, and i also tend to think i'm better than most people. i can't really tell if i think this because people really are as shitty as i think they are, or because i'm simply delusional.
when it comes to how others think of me, though, i have a deep-rooted paranoia that everybody hates me. i have two weapons to combat against this: 1) i'm aware of my paranoia, which helps me believe that it's all in my head and 2) since i think most people are shit anyways, even if they think i'm an asshole it doesn't really affect me because their opinion doesn't really matter much to me anyways (unfortunately, i think the reason i think everyone hates me is probably because, since i dislike so many people, it stands to reason that maybe all those people don't like me either). sometimes it can be a problem though - like when i get convinced that my best friend can't stand me and is just pretending to like me.
so basically: i really like myself. but everyone else doesn't like me. but that's okay because i love myself enough to cover for most of the world.

I always feel like I have a lot to say in these threads but never really know where to begin. Plus, I always feel like I will come across as a vain cock because even when I was an underweight, dorky ballet-dancing, marching band nerdy, shortest-in-the-class pre-teen I never had any self-image issues. I mean, I think there are always aspects of yourself you will feel could use improvement; for example, right now I know I have lost a lot of upper body strength over the past year or so and I would like to get it back. But even if I never do, I would not have a problem with it and would be perfectly comfortable with myself. I realise now (for the most part) that it's futile, but I used to wish that people could just drop their insecurities and convince themselves, even for a day, that they were great and absolutely worth everything. I actually don't like to think about this bit much anymore, because it makes me sad.

It is sad that having a healthy self esteem makes you feel like you come across as a vain cock. I think that says a lot for how many people have self esteem issues compared to those who don't.
