Yeah forget about how you feel. If your 250 or 220 even and people tell you look like a monster, then there no lying to you. Just get it through your head. This si sounding like some psychological disease like anorexia nervosa.
Stay away from the scale, I swear that thing is evil.
I use to step on that thing every night and it drove me crazy. Now I only weigh myself once every two weeks. The mirror and input from others is a much better gauge of how ur training is coming along.
I doubt any of us will truly be satisfied.....ever.
I have to agree with many of you guys. The possibliity of some form of depression is very possible. I have thought about it many times. My mood swings in general can be out of control, one second I feel pumped up and good about myself and within minutes I'll feel completely unsatisfied with myself to the point of suffering. I feel like it may be due to taking gear, I have nothing to back this claim up but I think I may have been more confident before I started using, even though I'm twice the size I am now compaierd to 5 years ago.
The scale always pisses me off, never heavy enough. But the mirror is where I get my real satisfaction....when my mind isn't fucking with me anyways.
Not me. I am not that big, but I am ripped and people always assume I look bigger than I am. I am under 200 lbs and look bigger than most 250 lbs bloated guys . Bodybuilding is all about illusion. I do not believe in bulking either. what is the point. I like being in shape year round for the beach.
