Is Body Dismorphia Real?

[Jesus]

What if if the non-gym goers don't have the same eye for perfection like you do?

What if you just have a keen eye b/c you notice your right trap bigger than your left...not insecure?

A person calls you buff and you disagree b/c you compare yourself to other gym users and not the average joe. They try to tell you stop being self conscious and enjoy compliment. Who's right?

"Would an able body man feel accomplished beating a wheel-chair man in a race??"

I wish breh, I wish

I am more critical of myself now than when I was 60 heavier

 

[Serious]

Yeah it's real...

I learned the hard way through struggling with depression once I reached a certain goal / size....

During my late teenage years(3 years ago) I used to think once I gain β lbs at Θ% and can lift φ weight, I would magically be the man. Instead all I felt was emptiness, along with an unrelenting internal desire get bigger and stronger. Eventually I spiraled in a series of depressions(more than) where I didn't lift for a few weeks and threw my diet in the trash, because I found working out to be pointless, once you conquer a goal.

One real of thumb I noticed when body dismorphia sets in occurs, right I'm getting out the shower....If my body looks like it belongs with head. It's time to lean up

Breh, I feel like Im never gonna get to where i want to be. I dont see the changes in myself that other people see. I've lost 17lbs and i lift 5 times a week. Im 5'9 and i went from 197lb to 180lb and im a beast for my size. 36 inch waist to a 31. I know im looking better, but I dont see it myself.

Hell yeah it's a real thing. I'm 6'7 255 and I used to have those off days where I'm not feelin it and a random 5'10 cat'll pass by somewhere and make me think


Maybe I should hit my shoulders twice a week for a bit just for good measure and I know my shoulders are wide as shyt already


Especially that post goal smash period. Like say you hit a target weight or destroy a PR by a few pounds etc, that post let down period can mess with your head big time when u get an unexpected compliment etc

-P-

I don't compare myself to others at the gym. I compare myself to my peer group on Facebook and I got all them lookin at age 30 and I'm still not at my peak yet.
