Put simply i don't know if its worth the effort to keep exercising and working out in the vain attempt of trying to be more appealing to other humans, so should i give up on love or stick with it?

because love appears to be equatable to physical attractiveness these days.

You need to re-examine your motives. If there is a central theme of low-self esteem, there is no point in putting a band-aid on your situation by exercising. Get to the root of your problem and true healing and motivation of HEALTH can replace your desire to please others.
"Overweight" people are attractive when they are confident because they love themselves first.
I understand your situation from personal experience. I would lie if I said I don't care what others thing about me, but I have to keep things in perspective if I want to be truely happy.
Love is a choice. You need to choose to love yourself before you can expect anyone else to do so...

You should excercise and work out to keep yourself fit and healthy and not to look good to others. This way you will keep motivated whether or not others find you appealing. Your target should be to become your own best friend or "appealing to yourself" rather than trying to be appealing to others. If you can practice this you might land up attracting others as well. And do indulge in things that are healthy as if you supress your desires they will crop up sooner than later and at the wrong time. In short Know yourself (I do now want use the word love yourself as this word is the most misunderstood word) and enjoy a healthy life and follow your insticts

Exercise enough to stay healthy and don't waste time on aesthetics. I have never found more inner peace than the day I decided that I wanted to be single and gave up on relationships for good. It's a lot easier this way and a lot less effort.

Believe me once you get into it, which may take a while, exercise also makes you feel better, live longer and becomes very enjoyable if not slightly addictive.
As a late convert, I only wish I had discovered this years earlier. I have been at it for about 8 years now and I hope I will never stop.
I do it for me, and the best race you can go for is the one against yourself. If you look better as well as feel better its a bonus!

Go for a good 5mile run everyday! Believe me, you wouldn't care less whether you are appealing to other people or not because you will really like yourself as you are. You'll be healthier, fitter and perhaps more confident so even if you don't think you are good-looking, you'll still have the confidence to attract people.

Don't do it for others, do it for yourself!! Exercise does actually make you feel better in yourself, will improve your confidence and also means you can eat more and not feel guilty.
It is an effort - I know, believe me - but worth it in the end!!

You have to keep excercising for sake of your health. Love comes no matter the way you look, you just have to find someone who appreciate you the way you are, not the way you look.
But also indulge yourself from time to time...that's the good part of life ;)

I would say stick with it, however, if you think that love is only attractiveness I think you are very wrong on that subject. You need to not only work on your body, but on your mind set also.

You should try to learn to love yourself first. Pigging out on chocolate and crisps will not make you feel better in the long run, you'll just hate yourself even more.
