Who here has negative body image?

Dream on . . .

This happens to me too and probably most bodybuilders. But I set a goal to get ripped at 200 and swear I will stop after that...and I know I will cause I won't ever do another bulking cycle after that, I'll just maintain. I am doing this for health, not just looks.

Not a flame, but I think everyone on this board is not happy with their appearance. Guess what? they will never be. There is an emptiness placed there by God - no matter how hard we try to "fill it" with something else we never will. I remember when I thought my first BMW will make me happy, then I wanted an M3, then an M5. Guess what, the only time I felt really happy is when my relationship with Jesus Christ was at its best. I feel as though I need to get back to that place after reading this post. It reminds me that nothing on this earth will satisfy that emptiness. Look at Michael Jordan - he achieved everything (or did he) then he played baseball and thought he would be happy there.
Keep trying and you will NEVER be happy.
Not trying to sound like a preacher, I think I am starting to realize that I need to get back to that place that I really liked. Why I left? it was easy. Things were so great that I thought I did not need my relationship anymore. Now I know I needed it more than anything else. . .

robsatx, good post.

I feel better! Knowing other guys (and girls) out there have this problem with bodybuilding, makes me feel more comfortable about it. I guess we all have to deal with this in our own way. Although as one person already posted, there is an emptiness we are all trying to fill, and who knows if we will ever find it.

You're not alone bros! I will always feel small no matter how many times I am told otherwise. It's what motivates me though and I am grateful for that even though it can be pretty annoying at times. I too am trying to strengthen my relationship with God because I know that only true happiness is obtained through him. It's just hard sometimes................MUDVAYNE

When i was around 160 i can remember saying to myself "all i want is to get up to 200" and after i reached 200 i still felt like i was at 160. It will never end. I don't think i want it to. My life and part of my dreams have always been in the gym. They always will be.

It will never stop.
No matter how big or strong we'll get, we'll still look for more.
