Sounds familiar. We are our worst critics.Becoming said:

I don't think you guys should be so hard on yourselves. I know I do the exact same thing sometimes (and I'm still a beginner), but you should put everything in perspective.
For instance, I'm 6'1" and about 150 lbs. and I'm constantly analyzing myself, always getting on the scale in the hopes that maybe I gained a pound or two since the last time I weighed myself.
But I've realized that even though I lift because I want to get bigger and look better, part of the reason I do it is because I enjoy it and it's something for me to look forward to and challenge myself with.
And you guys who have such great gains ("mike_rojas" and "becoming" listed theirs) should be really proud of them. I'm still working to gain just a couple of pounds
(btw: if anyone has any suggestions I'd be very grateful), but every time I see an improvement I congratulate myself for all the work I put in.
Bottom line: Be happy with what you do; we all work to friggin' hard to not have confidence in ourselves.

apparently there is...i knew a girl who worked at loreatte (an "institution" where people who have eating disorders and are suicidal are placed...)
she said that as of last year, maybe december? that one could actually be commited; (it is officially considered an eating disorder; eating because one thinks he/she is not big enough)

In that case, um... I look pretty normal to me.... lol.

The best advice anyone can givel ya is keeping hitting the weights, keep trying to add more plates and eat like a mother!
You seem to already have the right attitude, so keep at it...
Eating will always be the biggest thing, I have always been a hardgainer type and had abs without trying really....I used to come home from practice, down a mixing bowl (1.5lb) of pasta with meat sauce, follow that up with a full dinner, and then chug a 2000 cal wieghtgain shake, then go out, eat a pizza at my buddies later that night... I remember laying down after eating so as to not throw up all over the place... I think I calculated it out to be somewhere easily in the 6500-8000 calorie range a day, if not more.... this is not a mention of breakfast, which was usually eggs and a huge stack of pancakes, or lunch which was routinely 4 bigmacs (my favorite was the 2 for $2 deal) a large fry and a shake, and numerous snacks through the day.....
I have tapered off my calories big time, since I am not looking to gain so much anymore in such a brief period of time (though I have been reconsidering lately), but I can tell you eating was and will always be the key to adding mass... I won't even go into the disgusting training table stories during college....

I cant remember what its called, but there is a disease where people always feel small, no matter how big they get heh. I think coleman has it =p No idea what the medical term for it is though. Inferiority complex? I think all of us bodybuilders have it heh.
I would guess its like the whole anorexia/orthorexia thing.

Well I have been as heavy as 250 and I am five seven, and I did not think I looked too big then. I am now a leaner, and quite sveldt 239, as of 10:30 this morning.
But if I get bigger I am just getting fatter, and if I get leaner, I am just getting skinny. We all have the same disorder.
