Is it normal to be worried about my body?

Im a male and im always thinkin about my body. i see on tv shows how girls love a guy with abs, you know. So i started working out, trying to get a 6 pack, all of that stuff. The problem is that whenever i see myself in the mirror, i get mad at myself because i "look" or "am" fat/chubby, and it gets my self esteem down. is this normal?

    The stuff on TV is a load of elephant crap! Those "men" have tons of instructors, special diets, special additives and other special crap. Just to look as "perfect" as possible, so all girls get wet by the thought of such a guy and ignore the real men! The ones that actually want them. Cause I bet you any money. The pretty-boy on TV is probably gay.
    I mean, you shouldn't be a 500lb hippo, but having a six-pack and looking like something out of a woman's magazine is stupid! You should look normal.
    I have muscles and a bit of a beer belly and I don't give a fuck.

    Normal, but dont believe everything that happens on tv. When it comes about health is always a good idea to loose a couple of pounds but You will be suprised to know how many chicks actually like a big guy.

    Relax us girls do almost the same thing. Some of us freak out because we may think he'll not like us if were not top game.

    P.S. Just be yourself cause not all women like the 6 pack. =D
