what the hell?

[SAGAT]

my measurements have gone up considerably (IMO at least) since i last measured, but when i look in the mirror, i actually look smaller than i did before. i know it isn't true, but it's still demotivating as hell. anyone else ever experience this?

"Fear of Smallness," It's the bodybuilders anerexia, no matter how much you grow in your eyes you can always be bigger. I myself do get this from time to time, and it does kind of piss me off, but hearing everyone say holy shit you're huge makes ya feel better. It's all in yer head bro, don't worry about it. Hope this helps and good luck bro.

thnx bud. i know you're right but it still sucks. now all i need is someone telling me: "damn you're huge man".

ROFL!

I have had the same thing happening to me! I weigh myself constantly now, and I have gained weight. BUT, in the mirror I swear I am getting skiny. It is really un-motivating, espcially when you are going up weight on lifts, and eating until your stomach aches in the middle of the night.
I say this, if the weight goes up, and the scale goes up. Forget the mirrors!

hehe thnx endpoint, i saw that one coming. it's the same way for me rexbo! it's a bitch ain't it. oh well, guess i'll stop my whining now.

are you gaining weight? people often report losing weight (mostly fat) and looking bigger because they are more defined. perhaps you are experienceing the opposite.

THAT could just be it! i was thinking about that a moment ago. but yes, i DID gain about 8 pounds, could be that i'm a little less defined now, makes sense...hmmmmm....i'll check after my workout tonight.
