from a conversation with my mother last night
mom: your shins are rock-hard.
me: i know. i have to go on a fast after the SATs to get rid of my overdeveloped muscle.
mom: couldn't you just exercise it off?
me: no, if i exercised i'd just build more muscle.
mom: hmm
(edited due to irrelevance)
me: one of the reasons i want to start dancing is because i've done all the cardio possibilities at the gym to the point where if i look at another treadmill i'm going to puke. i've worn out the bike, the treadmill, everything. also dancing makes me use my entire body and there is a sense of achievement, and i think using my body to do something relatively artistic will make me like it more. same thing for the menial labor job. using my body all the time to stockpile merchandise and stuff.
mom: but why don't you like your body?

i can think of a million reasons why i should and one reason why i shouldn't, and i think i am tipping towards liking it more than disliking it.
