Reverse anorexia?
ad
I was more or less wondering if any of u guys have experiences comparable? So one day I'll look in the mirror and feel like I'm making nice progress... Lately though every time I look in the mirror I feel like I'm just skinny and a twig boy? Currenly I'm 195lbs 5'10" under 10%bf and this is about the biggest and leanest I've ever been according to my stats, but again I feel like I'm little... I don't quite inderstand it. I do know that my concept of being big has durastically changed over the last year and a half, but I guess I need to look at this as motivation to get bigger and not sweat it so much? Any of u bros and broettes relate or is this just one more thing confirming that I'm flippin crazy!!! Lol

yes thats it
tread-mBrother we all have it. I try to gain a little each yr and have been at this many years. I look in the mirror and see 5'11" 105lbs and then step on the scale. My actual weight is 1148 lbs naked in the morning with clean fur and a fresh poo. Lol
No man Logan nailed it here and I'll tell you what I think much of it is. We watch fing Cutler video and see Branch train and watch Heath rock it out and kai strut around like and animal and then we see ourselves. It does feel good to walk through the mall and see and smell all the weakness, kai and heath are nowhere to be found and that leaves me. I look around and say damn, I'm rockin this up in here today! So comparison really is much of our problem and then theres that little thing where we are comparing where we want to be and where we are. By where we see ourselves in our mind as thkugh we are what we want and then catch a mirror and see our "perception". My favorite mkments are those extremely rare circumstances where we actually see what everyone else see's on accident. I told this once before I was walking the mall and passed a duble angle mirror. At the same time I'm coming up on vic secret so my wankus had taken over all thoughts. So as I pass the double angle mirrorit looked like someojne was walking towards me and I look up and see myself for what everyone else does. . There was that split second I didn't realize it was myself and my mind said "damn, this pimp bout to mow me down!" Then I realized it was my own image and all the fear left my body. Until the image kinda lunged at me like "bitch, best get up out my way!" So I quickly stepped off and m.y adrenaline slowed knowing it was only me that scard me.. i had always thought I feared nothing and on that day I realized, even Tread fear Tread...as he should!
The clinical name is Muscle Dysmorphia. It is when you look in the mirror and see a skinny person or not happy with your muscle mass. It is the exact opposite of anorexia, I saw a show on this 15 years ago on 20/20 and new right away I had it, they described me to a T. It probably effects 90% of us here on eroids, but it also make you strive to be better. (but lets not go over board and really put our health at risk.)
Lol same every time I meet new people they talk about how big they think I am and I usually respond with nooo I need to get bigger I'm not THAT big
I'm pretty sure I have it. I almost made this exact same post.
I've heard it referred to as "Bigorexia" or an "Adonis complex"
I've read about Adonis complex actually... The thing is everything I read is just informative no solutions. It's messed up cause when I try to bulk I start to feel fat and back off the carbs? I can't help it. I tell myself just used this time to bulk you will clean it up after cycle, but I back the carbs off anyway? I know, I'm disturbed right?
I do the exact same thing.. Abs start disappearing and I lay off the carbs as much.. daaaamnit.. One week pig out the next eat lean then pig out the week after AHHHH
A little. Lol. Nah I think everyone does that.
What you may have is Body dysmorphic disorder. You are perceiving yourself as small, possibly ugly, malnourished. When in reality you are big and good looking. More info here:

My lady calls me manorexic, mainly because of my extreme strictness regarding my diet. I think its hard to keep perspective, maybe take a picture of your self now and use that to judge your progress
Yup i get the same thing, i always feel small, its called Bigorexia. Forreal lol
