MAKE him go to the YMCA or to another gym. Take him with you if you have to and watch him do it. Make him exercise and left weights.
I grew up being an insecure, overweight teenager and it ruined my life. I was so self conscious and insecure that I had a hard time with many social situations, especially girls or other guys that I perceived as better than myself.
One way to eliminate this altogether is to boost his self confidence. That happens through exercise and weight training and it will definitely work. Getting him to stick to it will be hard but it is worth it. He will go into middle school and high school with a big confidence boost when he sees that he's just as fit, attractive, and strong as the other guys. No, 11 isn't too young for hitting the gym.
