For those with with self image issues

[frivolousz21]

I want to share with some of you who are down now about your looks, appearence and image.


I for one have been on both sides of the fence.

im almost 22..b day in 5 days!


all of my life I was very skiny and short...I am 5 foot 7.

which isnt terribly short..infact I like it..its me!

when I got out of hs..I never worried about self image. I was fine...but then the LBS started to pack on. I was in a LTR..and I didnt care..I got all the way up to near 200 lbs with no muscle. Ok guys 200 lbs with no muscle. I have always been cute..so even at that fat stage and cheating on my gf...(we were all young dumb and full of ***). I could still pull massive hot chicks...its confidence and personality baby! Anyways..my LTR left..bad break up. So I was left with shattered confidence and a fat ass body, with a slight receding hairline in front. luckily for me I can cute naturally..PHEW!

So we will start at my worse January of 2002. I was 5 foot 7 inches, 202 lbs, 20 something percent body fat, receding hairline, bad posture, ok teeth, bad skin, always dry. It was bad. I was about a 4.5 or 5 if that. I will say 4.5....I was down in the dumps nothing could help me. Then I decided to make the change.

Now at first I didnt have the same power and motivation I have now with working out. I started in on Atkins and in 5 weeks dropped 22 lbs to 180. I moved to a 5 on the scale.
the next 12 months I didnt do much still in the rut.

SO I WASTED A YR. Now we are at March of 2003, I joined a gym. gained about 10 lbs of mass..I was up to 190..so i was a bulky short fat kid. still a 5 on the scale. lots of wasted time upcoming so lets skip to 2004.

when it changed.. i just had enuf..I didnt want to make excuses..I started to play tennis and workout. I lost 10 lbs, then 5 more overtime, then 5 more. I was down to 170. I went out and started using hair thickening shampoo(vibe for men) got a nice haricut from a nice old black women! I love black old moms they are something else.

I bleeched my teeth with chrest white strips they work guys...I started a new workout called HST. I got the gillete for men face products..nevertheless I have nice skin now.

I maintain all of this. I play tennis every other day and workout 3 days a week.

currently I am 5 foot 7 inches...163 lbs...9.5 percent body fat. I am a 7 or 7.5. I get stared at or looked at because I have a great body and a cute white smile.

I dont have this because it just came..its hard work. and as you guys read in the articles women have to do this to, to look good.

so lastly...self image is a mental state but you can help urself..sorry i ran this so boring and long.

lets review.

2003= 5'7" 202 lbs...20 something body fat, bad posture, acne, dry skin, bad hair. I was a 4.5-5. of 10.

today=5'7" 163(-39) 9.5 body fat, great posture, no acne, nice skin, the best hair I can have..im not really bad at all. im a 7-7.5

just on looks alone....thats without being a man or a DJ.

my point is..get ur ass out there and do something about it.

ps. dress nice too!

[SealTeamSix]

5'10"
185lbs

been told from 2 to 8 out 10 by chix.

Yes. Looks count. Lose fat and build some muscle. But most important thing is confidence.

 

[frivolousz21]

having an athletic...proportioned not to big body...

Phat Rabbit and I..are pretty much perfect sizes for our heights.

5 10 and 185 with a low say 10 percent body fat would be great

Just another post for furthur motivation.


At this time last year (2003) I weighed over 240 lbs at 6 ft even. I was an overweight sluggish mess, in addition to being shy and having no self confidence.

In the past 5 months I have went from 240 to my current weight at 205. All I did was I got out of the house for exercise. Sometimes I would mountain bike, sometimes I would run, sometimes I would work out at the gym. I even found a hiking partner and me and her have done some pretty intensive hikes.

Now granted I am still shy but I have only been coming to this site for a couple of weeks now, after all. The important thing is that I am starting to get noticed

apparently size doesnt really matter in my case, cuz i am 5' 5". i still get plenty of chicks, and get looked at by most of them. i am pretty built tho- i am a wrestler, so i lift regularly. ergo- i got a nice muscular body, just short

it's all a/b confidence, and how you look at yourself, and showcase yourself. self image needs to be good INNER self image, outer doesnt help you w/ confidence.

if you feel good a/b yourself, others will notice that, and notice you more!
