Challenge YOUR body image.


Recommended Posts

there was a whole thread on the nerdfitness academy facebook page that was basically about boobs... one girl posted a pic of her abs with some fairly obvious underboob showing... which then sparked a thread of so many posts (like maybe 30 women?? maybe more) all taking a pic to show off their abs and underboobs or just plain boobs...

 

 

I actually felt comfortable enough to participate :D and when I look at that picture?? I can't believe how tiny my hands look... how NORMAL my boobs look... my belly (well I made sure that only my upper belly was in it) looks so little...

 

I am not quite ready to share that kind of pic in here... (the academy page is women only... and I am feeling kinda prudish about it) but the fact that I even TOOK a pic like that... and the fact that every timeI scroll through it in the academy feed (which since this thing has blown up with posts is QUITE often tonight) I smile... because I feel GOOD about that pic :)

 

eventually I am gonna look damn fine naked :D

Sorry to break up this beautiful conversation, but I just made a startling realization. I am not skinny anymore.

 

 

I mean, I'm still very lean and have room to put on a few more pounds, but I spend my whole life either being actually underweight, or just looking goofily skinny and lanky while edging into the healthy range of BMI. Apparently at a relatively lean (a few % higher than I want to be, but it's a work in progress) 215, that's not true anymore. It's weird.

It takes a LOOOONG time to fully get over this. I haven't been crazy skinny in over 10 years, first becoming fat and then muscular. I still slip into skinny mindset on occasion. In a way, looking in mirrors helps to fend this off.

I think former skinny guy syndrome is MUCH harder to get rid of than former fat guy syndrome. Between being fat and not fat, you feel quite a bit different, it is pretty noticeable day to day. OTOH, the difference between lean and athletic and skinny doesn't feel nearly as different, its much easier to forget.

It's a work in progress. I think there is a reason a lot of the big bodybuilder types come from skinny kid background. I know that I'm not skinny anymore basically because people tell me so. However, I still see myself in the mirror as skinny and underdeveloped.

I don't know if this has already shown up in this thread somewhere... but it definitely belongs here.

Prefect timing on this. I really needed it today. It's weird in how I can knock out a personal best on bench press but all I seem able to focus on is how bad I felt looking in the mirror.

Just thought I'd share this fun comparison.

 

So I don't know how many of you know about Overwatch, but it's a new team-based shooter game coming out soon, and there is the character named Zarya, who is like pure muscle. ANYWAY, I realized that we have the same size arms. Sure, mine is 99% fat, but the size is the same. (I have always been super self-concious about my arms, never wearing tanks etc.) 

 

But yeah, realizing this made me feel a bit better about my arms. Now I just need to work on swapping that fat for muscle!

Also, real life arm goals, for those who prefer actual people instead of video game characters as fitness inspo hahaha. 

 

I don't know if my arms will ever get that large muscle wise (though it would be amazing if I could achieve that) but I feel a bit better about wearing tank tops while working out. :D
