I thought it was just a myth

I personally love good body comments
ppl saying you have an amazing body, I've always played sports, ran track, lifted, so I'm used to hearing that

But work has been busy, I've been relaxed, no stresses lately. I've been kinda well ... eating during October
And then I hear .... "your six pack is losing definition .... fatty"
Even tho they were playing I'm like


I'm 5' 11" .. 185 and I usually stay under 10 body fat

So anyways, Drai' thread had me thinking I'll just do that for a day. I had my water, sprinkled some pep' in it...
It was ok until about 9pm when I found myself 6 deep into an 8 pack of cinnamon rolls 

But when I looked in the mirror this morning I looked fine and flat.

Do you guys monitor your body image closely or just let it flow naturally?

of course.

fags like things a certain WAY

[LOONA.]

Yeah but I put it on myself.

Around Thanksgiving I went on a break from working out but I fell off the wagon a few months. I've been doing good lately but I don't hear as many compliments on my body from people as I used to and I'm just like 

IDK why I'm so self conscious but I am. I'd really like to know where it stems from.

sssssss

But does the pressure stress you out?
Do you go on workout binges or extremes to maintain?

Being in Florida you kinda have no choice but to have a TIGHT body or at least slim athletic.

Do I enjoy working out 5 days out of the week? no. But what i'd hate even more is going to the beach and not looking up to par.
and feeling like im being judged.  When really no one (friends, family or strangers) would know the difference if i missed a week of exercising.

I don't workout. I just go for runs a lot and watch my diet.

I have no desire to be extremely muscular and everyone I've dated liked me a 'certain way', so I've pretty much been the same weight for 6 years now +/- 5 pounds

Initially I thought I was doing too much -- letting those I date influence my body. But I realized I like being this way and I do the same to those I've been involved with

Saying things like, 'hmm... gained a few pounds haha' or 'um, you just had pizza, we're eating water and SPINACH tonight FAGGOT'

Plus I keep a scale in the house and check it daily. It's a mess.  But my appearance isn't my LIFE. I've just always been conscious of it and those I'm involved with.

But yes it stresses me the fck out. The moment that scale goes over 165, I'm like 

Spit and cracker for dinner.

I feel bad for FAT people @ the beach. People literally GAWK (me included). I always wonder if its the same elsewhere but I haven't been to a beach outside of Florida

My matabalism makes me feel like I wanna gain weight at times but I'm 5'7 and 135ish...never felt pressured. I don't even watch what I eat.

If it don't get done in 3 days it'll just carryover to next week lol

@Drais .... I slack when the holidays hit too 😬
