For people who started out as the "skinny" dude. When did you realize you werent skinny? How did you go away from the self image of being a skinny person?
I feel like i get small periods where i notice my gain, but after a couple of hours i go back to seeing myself as a skinny dude again. I dont know how to deal with it, and its sucking away a lot of motivation.
From the people I've talked to on this website,feeling smaller than you actually are is a completely normal feeling,regardless if you are 150 pounds and a little chubby or an absolute unit that weighs 550 pounds.Its similar to how people who go to the gym constantly worry that they don't look thin enough or muscular enough.
I myself feel a lot smaller than I actually
weight. Usually i feel like I'm 250 or 240 but then I realized that my own perspective is a bit blurry since not only do people say that I'm huge or call me big boy/big guy, but i hop on the scale and it says that I'm 308.Yet still feel smaller than I actually am and I have to keep reminding myself that its all in my head.
The most recent reply that said to try on old clothing is totally right,most of the time your weight gain will be so slow that you will barely notice it over time. Your old clothing will remind you of how much progress you made over time and just learn to be patient with yourself,gaining weight is not a race,its about the journey.
I've tried my old clothing from 1 or 2 years ago that we're all XL and now when I try them on today,they are slowly starting to look like bras when I put them on since I usually use 3XL.
