Challenge YOUR body image.


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure no-one wants to see me naked, and I've been married for 12 years and have three kids. Though my wife is just as down on her own body, and I LOVE seeing her naked, so... go figure.

Dude! You know what I'm gonna say. YOU KNOW.

Top being me (Ok, I'm 6lbs heavier right now than in this picture. December wasn't kind - but it was fun!).

I loathe how I look. I truly do. It's been kind of fucking with me a bit more than normal recently, when the trainer I work with told me I am obese. It kind of made me feel like shit, when I was all proud of cutting from 241 to 206 (thank god I'm very tall).

The only thing wrong with this picture is that you're not smiling.

Mind you..... You've got such a killer smile that maybe it's a good thing. Us ladies might faint, or go weak at the knees if we saw that body and smile in the same picture...... :P

EDIT: And btw - what a load of crap! You have more muscle and definitely less fat than that guy.

Aren't you 6'4" or something? At least 6'2", I'm sure. Anyway, your trainer is full of beans.

I might have some dissonance between how I view my body and how it appears to others.

For most of my life, I've been really, really skinny (started high school 6'3", 140, graduated 6'4" 160), and so I've ranged somewhere from this if I'm feeling bad about myself:

to this, if I'm feeling good.:

17_skinnies_lg.jpg

I put on a little weight at the end of college when I got into lifting, and looked more normal -ish. As in, occasionally I would see people skinnier than me, and think, "Oh, I don't look like that any more."

Then, more recently, I've gotten into lifting again. I've gained 20lbs (6'6", 210 atm), and am the strongest I've ever been in my life. People recently have started telling me that I am looking muscular and such, and one of my coworkers (who has made it very clear he's attracted to me), tells me I have the body that he is working for. But when I look in the mirror, I see myself just as skinny as ever, but now sans abs, and with a little gut from trying to gain weight. I don't really know what I look like anymore.

Edit: I realized this was pointless without any pictures of me. So, it became selfie time.

Can someone explain why they use fruit to describe body shapes (pear, apple..). Was someone hunger for fruit coming up with the body types?

My guess is it started with pear shaped because what else is that shape, except a gourd? Then they had to stick with fruit because that theme was better than a hodge podge of gourds, bocce balls, and rulers.

Gourds come in all shapes and sizes (ex. pumpkins are gourds, but clearly are not pear-shaped):

Some are smooth, bumpy, big, small and everything in between, apple- pear- lemon- pineapple- whatever- shaped, every color under the sun, or just plain weird. Maybe we should use gourds for comparison instead of fruit.

eat a peach?

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=peach

Be warned, it's urban dictionary.

 

Also, the artist Peaches comes to mind. She's all about her peach from what her songs have led me to believe.

 

 

for hours?

Must be swore after that.

Huzzah for body image issues when you're getting your hair done and some chick with the perfect body strolls in and the hair dresser sits her right in front of you so you have to stare at them the entire time you're getting your hair done!

 

I LOVE YOU LIFE!

Shouldn't you sit in front of a mirror the entire time, while getting your hair done?
