Not what I thought I was
As an admitted meat head at heart, I can honestly say I thought I had more muscle underneath all the fat I was carrying. I would tell myself “that guy weighs how much? He must not have as much muscle as me.” Well it turns out he probably did. I hit my goal weight today and I am not even close to satisfied. My midsection looks how I would expect it to look mid bulking phase. True…I don’t do abs. (Save the lecture, never have, never will.) But still. I have quite a bit of love tube wrapped around my mid section and I want it gone before I start putting weight on.
This is a two way street.
1. I’m mad that I had to realize I wasn’t what I thought I was.
2. I’m more to determined to get there now.
So all and all it’s a win/win, but it still stings a little bit.
Signed,
Your 204lb. fat guy

1. You look awesome the way you are now. Appreciate what you already have.
2. If you want to improve upon what you’ve already got, you’ll find a way to do it.
Don’t think you’re less than you are.
You sound exactly like my husband. He has a rocking body, but he doesn’t see it. He feels like he always has to look better when he already looks top notch.
You manorexics…..

So I read your post before I saw you picture. I wasn’t expecting much given your tone. You mentioned you don’t do abs so I was expecting a nice gut…then I counted to six! The fact that you hit your goal and are not satisfied shows you have the right mentality to push the limits and go further. Set some new goals, stay motivated, keep working hard and you will surprise yourself….

Ha ha, man …
That ring is doing you good I see. Yeah, thats how it is and you end up beating yourself up over it. Talk about a pain in the rear. Oh well, its not all that bad though.
Just another adventure and quest for you to go on. Some more adipose for you to save.

You look great! I can totally understand how you’re feeling though. No one could’ve told me in january that after losing almost 40 lbs that I would still be unhappy with my weight. People around me say that i’m doing an amazing job but there are times when I look in the mirror and see the same big girl of the past. You just have to set new goals and be sure to take plenty of pictures so you can see what everyone else does.
