Are you ever startled by your own physique?

Do any of you wake up in the morning and feel startled by the changes in your body?

This morning in a half daze I turned over in bed and thought "shit I have big arms" when I caught a glimpse of them.

Some mornings I wake up feeling like He-Man because I am so conscious of my own growth. Bigger chest, shoulders, etc. It's a great feeling and quite addicting. Such a wonderful sense of satisfaction and achievement.
 
I have somthing called a body dysmorphic disorder where no matter how I look I never like it. I can't view myself as others see me and I exaggerate every flaw that I notice within my mind. I'm going to be one of those physique perfectionists when I get older. I'm only 19 right now. I kind of like havin this illness. It wins over with the ladies:p
 
Yes, I must amit this happens to me. Ussualy I'm quite hard on myself. I know I have something good going but I'm never satisfied.

Whats funny is that sometimes when I'm out in a public place, usually somewhere just chillin, I catch a glimps of myself in the mirror and think damn, I'm looking pretty thick! Hey, and I'm much taller than everyone else too!

I have noticed that other people seem to percieve me as being larger than I perceive myself.

It's interesting that guys who are the same size as me seem so much bigger to me in my perception.

Noticing every flaw is quite common though. Most people do this. Next time you see a good looking person pick their individual features apart. They will stop being good looking. Focus in on their flaws. This is how you see yourself, so you can often be quite good-looking to other people but not see this in yourself.
 
You know what come to think of it everytime I wake up in the morning I amazed at my impressive morning "wood" that I am able to achieve more so "on" a cycle then when im "off." The feeling is great!!! :D

I wonder how many bodybuilders have BDD. I'd guess many do and have no idea.

This is SO SO true. If you've ever seen a reflection of yourself (say in a shop window) and for a short moment not realised that you are looking at yourself, you can see yourself as others do.

When you realise you are seeing your own reflection suddenly you see yourself as yourself and lose persoective again.

Sometimes when this has happened I have thought "wow, what an great physique" or "gosh I am actually a good-looking guy, I should stop being so hard on myself". But then you see yourself as yourself and all your negative self-projections return and suddenly you look ugly/skinny once more, lol.
 
Ok in all seriousness HansNZ definately. I especially notice it daily since im dieting and losing more and more fat each day. Plus all the extra water retension lost over the night. Carb up days especially really make a difference in how I look the next morning.
Sorry bout messing around on the post. Just felt like fuckin around. :p
 
It's interesting that body dysmorphia is cited as a reason why people go to the gym or start using steroids. In my case I don't think I had body dysmorphia (although I only have a mild case) until after I had been going to the gym and using steroids for some time.

I can still look at myself and think I am looking good.
 
Yeah, I was walking out of the gym one day, looked in a car window and was startled by the huge guy staring back. I thought, wow, I didn't know I was that big, and mean looking.... and was bald and had a nose ring.....? Then I realized that the car window was rolled down, and it was not my reflection, but a very large, mean looking guy with a nose ring staring back. He then stepped out of the car and beat me senseless.
 
even though my nearsighted vision is perfected and my vision in general is pretty okay, when i put on my contacts and look at my reflection in the mirror it seems slightly different, i feel less attractive, and less muscular, i even feel my abs show less... i dont know what to make of it..

Actually I'm in my 3rd week but the end of it due to gyno and I'm hard by any slight movement so it seems "deca dick" isn't a prob for me. Too bad the gyno is geting to me or I'd continue
 
Sometimes I just look at myself and say.............

DAMN GOD HAD A GOOD DAY!!!!!!!!!

J/k........LOL..........You'll never see yourself the way others see you.

Damn you hit the nail on the fucking head. There has been several times in the mall or a store where I walked by a mirror I didn`t realize was there, caught a glimpse of myself thinking it was someone else and thought.."damn that dude looks good", then a milisecond later I`m like...that`s me? And then I feel great untill I get back home and look in the mirror of doom (my bath room mirror).

Reminds me of the time i was running from the cops and jumped between to buildings and stood very very still. Fucking cops walked right past me. Then i heard one say "Hey I never saw this building before " IT WAS ME. WACKA WACKA WACKA.
 
This will sound so vain, but i always take off all my clothes in the changing room in the ladies clothes area when buying clothes. I look at my self in the mirror and think wow i look good!

I'm the same age and got the same problem....
 
I have the same "problem" if you see it that way to bro. I'm currently 6'2 208 and around 8-9% body fat. I don't think I'm that big and I still think I look just like I did when I was 185lbs. But I here from my friends alot that I'm getting huge. So its all in the mind I guess.

I must have a myopic view because people always say that I am larger than what I think I am. I guess I am just never satisfied with the way I look.
