Current Events > What is your body ideal?

(+) Yeah! (+)

* sorry topic should read
what is your body image?

Doing a CE poll/study as my nutrition coaching course draws closer to completion.

So out of curiosity, what do you feel about your body image?

Body image in this case being how someone perceives his or her body to look, which may not be how the person actually looks.

This is a rather subjective subject and I will leave it up to you to decide how much a 'lot" or "few" is when it comes to losing or gaining weight.
No wrong answers here.
If you're curious what I answered. I feel like i could gain a few lbs. I'm 6ft tall and about 168 lbs

I'm fat and sad

I'm fine with my body as it is, but I would not miss 10 or so pounds.

I feel like more than one thing can be true. On one hand at 48 years old and a much more sedentary lifestyle than in my school days and military days in my prime I know for a fact I could lose a few pounds however I'm completely comfortable/satisfied and ok with exactly as I am.

I've always been skinny, which has bothered me because I have skinny arms. I'm jealous of dudes with just, like, regular sized biceps.

But now I'm old enough to have that coupled with a little bit of a paunch

People often call me skinny (I'm 6'1", ~155 pounds) but I feel like that's just because they only ever see me with clothes on. I wish I was thinner, but I just love unhealthy food so much.

No amount of weight gain or loss is going to make me happy with my body. If surgery could accomplish it, I wouldnt do it anyway.

It's alright, but it will never be my aesthetic ideal body due to genetics. Like I see people with similar genetics do a full perfect bodybuilding routine and still fail to look like what I would want, so why bother.

i want huge boobs

otherwise im pretty fine with my body

i have some kind of deep messed up psychological problem where i can't objectively talk about my body or even judge it. it's hideous. i avoid looking in the mirror as much as possible and i never want to look at my own photos. so i hit other.

too skinny and far too fat

Overall happy but I could use a bit more muscle to be where I'd ideally like to be, and to lose a bit of fat in my mid section. Gonna try to do a cut over the winter

I've gained 30 pounds since my daughter was born and wish I could wear my old clothes

Metabolism slowing is probably part of it but I've noticed a fair amount of muscle loss and other shit that's just disappointing to me. I'm not obese but I'm overweight. Everyone I know says I'm fine but I don't feel that way. I had been pretty thin from 17-29. I remember holding my daughter at my parents house while my sister was visiting and she saw my stomach and said "well that's new"

I'm very happy with my level of muscle mass atm. I'm trying to lean out a little more to look more cut though. I've got like 10-15lbs more to go. So I should be able to hit it by the end of the year

There are days I want to switch back to my lighter speed forme (~20-30lbs less), but my current balanced forme is more practical for a wider range of spontaneous situations.

My clothes size isn't different or anything, just my muscle mass for the most part.
In speed forme I was getting scared of getting cut at a vein or scraping. This was me cycling, so the light weight could feel heavier at times and I'd hurt altogether. I remember having dreams where I wasn't able to stand or walk when putting on a loaded backpack. I also lost some of my vertical jumping ability.

However the high sides were that I felt my knees otherwise had less load (at least when I wasn't cycling), and muscle/strength concentration and center of mass was lower. I feel like I'd have some decent physical longevity to go with that if life didn't need me to use my upper body much. There was, of course, the general endurance that came with it too.

I could do with shedding a couple of kilos because then my abs would be visible again. Other than that, Im pretty happy.

I want to get back to 185 at 215 now. I was in thev 185 range most of my adult life. At 40 I slowly creeped up to 200. Since 2020 I gained 15 pounds. I've been inactive as all hell. Back pain is what is preventing me from working it off

I've really never been able to gain as much weight as I wanted.

no hornyposting

I could lose some weight, would make my cosplaying easier

Other: more muscle. I have been weight lifting for 9 months . I fell great but progress is slow.

Other: I'm skinny, but I never really cared much about how my body looks.

I'm muscular, but I'd like to lose 15lbs, while also gaining more muscle mass.

Bump and a thanks for those who voted and commented so far
