luvzccr Posts: 2 Joined: 2008/04/19	2008/04/19, 11:53 PM sory i posted this exact same topic in another forum thing, but im new here, so i'll post it in this one since it seems to sorta fit in this one... i think i have body dysmorphia where when i look in a mirror i see someone fat staring back, but everyone says i look annorexic. im 18, male, 5'9, 130lbs, sometimes it goes up 2 or 3 lbs in a week (i weigh myself every sunday), but i really want flat abs and a v shape. i dont have those but i want them. at 6:40 every morning i wake up, eat special k cereal, vanilla almond, or cinnamon pecan. then at school, 12:35 i'll have a chicken burger plain, with half a tiny carton of milk i get home at 2:30, eat another bowl of cereal, OR, a sandwich with pastrami lunch meat on there on wheat bread. then at 7:30 i have rice wrapped in a tortilla with one slice of cheese on it, microwaved. i drink water all day long. my metabolism is slow though. i go days without going number 2 sometimes, or, i only go bathroom when i wake up in the morning before leaving for school. someone help, i hate feeling like crap even though people say im skinny. i want those v shape and flat abs to be happy :(

Your metabolism is slow as a result of a starvation diet. You also aren't going to get much muscle tone because of that same starvation diet.

True though, you need to talk to someone about the fat guy in the mirror thing and get that figured out before it becomes something worse. After that you will need to gain some size. You can't have a V without a big back, big shoulders, and a wide chest. No matter how skinny you are you will look like a pencil without those. You have to eat food and gain weight to get that. You may actually think you are fat for a while because you will put on fat, but then you can slim down and have the V you want. But until you get your head straight you won't be able to let yourself gain weight and put on the mass you need for that shape.

On second though, I don't want to know, I might not be able to handle it. Ecle5c had it right on. I can't see 130 @ 5'9" having much shape at all. If you put on some muscle mass it will compliment your abs and the rest of your body. -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Blood Guts Sweat Chalk
