else wrote You're a young person, its understandable that you still "enjoy" video games but you also have to start taking consideration that you have a family now, your girlfriend and child. You should make a schedule or something for yourself, instead of spending time/money on games spend it doing other activites, going to the park with kid, gym with girlfriend, it might make you feel better about yourself/looks after sometime. As for youtube, if you really want to continue doing it you can get into vlogs? Dont know if thats something that you might want to do but it seems like those are pretty popular on youtube. I'm sorry if this wasn't exactly what you were asking/looking for.

Mass wrote ok look, that's kinda what growing up and parenthood does to you, sorry to say but 17 having a child is way too young, you just aren't ready and are still growing up yourself.

KyloCrux wrote I am going through the same situation. I am 18, my daughter was born almost four months ago, and I stopped doing YouTube because I just do not have the means to do it. I sold my PC for a security deposit on my car. I have my own apartment, car, and now daughter. I am also engaged and getting married next year. I have a full time job. I am in a great position but I had to give up so much. I wish I could do YouTube still. I just cannot afford a new PC. All I can say is your kids come first.

aNaughtyCuban wrote My opinion is that it's important for you to love yourself as much as it is to love your son and girlfriend. I've been there; hating the way I look, and it sucks. And honestly, it's hard to love other people to the fullest extent when you don't love yourself.

If I were you I would try to make a habit out of going to the gym. You don't even have to really know what you're doing. If you leave and you feel like you've exercised, even if you don't see results immediately, it's a confidence booster. I always feel really good about my body after a good workout. Use that confidence to motivate yourself to change not only your body, but other parts of your life you aren't happy about.
