I just see it as a constant reason not to hit that snooze button when it goes off and instead get my ass into the gym.
Regardless of wether I think I’m big enough or not, I know I’m taking the right steps to reach my goal.
Wether I get there or not is another thing, but I still know at the end of the day I’ll be a fitter, stronger version of what I once was.

I wish you all would quit even using the words “bigorexia” or “muscle dysmorphia”. Thinking you are not big enough is not a disorder unless it is damaging to your life in some way. There are TONS of people who think they look better than they do. Should we give this a name as well? I mean, besides “imaginary lat syndrome”?
I look up to heavyweights and super-heavyweights. Obviously I don’t think I have reached my goal yet. This does not indicate a disorder. It indicates a perfectionist attitude that I show in pretty much every other aspect of my life and not just bodybuilding.
Prospective doctors still in school are not labeled as having a disorder when they sacrifice years of their life for extreme schooling. Therefore, what is the justification for doing this in bodybuilding? Both groups don’t think they have achieved enough yet and both don’t believe they are good enough yet.[/quote]
I’m glad you made a sensible post. I was starting to let these tards make me believe I had some type of disorder just because I wasn’t satisfied where I was.
I think anyone who is into bodybuilding and doesn’t have a huge ego, but is more modest will never be satisfied and be their worse critic.
People tell me I’m big all the time. I got a summer job a couple of weeks ago and the people there asked if I was on steroids. I thought that was rather funny because I’m no where close to looking like I’m on gear. I think I’m small as shit in comparison to where I want to be. I’m not satisfied just being bigger than the average guy.
People who never hit the weights seriously will always view you as “hulk” or “huge” because the average person doesn’t spend hours in the gym, doesn’t stick to a dedicated training program or strict diet.
That’s why they all are small. When they see someone with those types of values of course they’re going to be huge in comparison, even though I’d probably still call them small because HUGE to me is Arnold. No more and no less.
