The mirror you VS. The real you

Where

is the support group. I need to start a yahoo group for this disease because I have it.

I'm supposed to be a 'big as fuck', but don't see it. I tell some women this and they laugh, like yeah right. My friends always make the 'if I was your size comment'. Or they ask how did I get all that muscle. I also am the strongest guy in my gym, but get depressed because i'm not like 150lbs stronger than the other strongest guy. If 5 people don't comment on how huge I am I see the little guy in the mirror, when people comment and I walk by a mirror I think I see the true me for a nanosecond.

I don't want to get any bigger. but god forbid I get any smaller.

I know I got it bad.

Speaking of the mirror you and the real you.....

Have you guys ever noticed how a photo of yourself looks so much different than what you see in the mirror? Or maybe it's just me.

I go through cycles (no pun intended ) on this issue. I'm certainly "reverse anorexic" much of the time. I'm scared not to eat every two hours and I think I'm physicaly punny. I often look at guys smaller than me as if they were bigger. However, sometimes when in a social setting, I feel like I'm king Kong in comparison to others.

I'm going through a shift in my mentality though. Deep down I know I'd rather be healthier and fitter than others than simply display more bulk.

Luckily, now all I have to do is lose fat to reach my goal. I think I'm as big as I'd like to be.

the thing I hate is thinking every dude is bigger, I don't know what it is but I will look across the room and see a guy and be like "damn now thats big" then walk up close to him and see that I am bigger.

weird

I do the same thing bro, but like you said when i walk by them and realize that i am much bigger although i'm still a little guy only 5'6 216 prob 10% bf a runt and i hate it

nice post bro...i feel like that all the time---it actiaully causes me anxiety when i look in the mirror. i dont think any of us will be satisfied.....keep lifting though

Its why we're all on this board.

When others look at me they see a big dude. When I look in the mirror I see arms and legs like this.....

Do you really dance like that in front of the mirror? If so I think that you need to see with that issue first bro
