Sick of looking at myself in the mirror

[rado]

No:rofl:

Oh I'm so waiting for his reply:rofl:

[Mr I]

Ronin, I am doing it because I didn't like what I saw in the mirror when I was fatter. But now I've lost fatI'm getting be bored of the vanity of keeping looking if that makes sense, my goal is to lose more fat really.

[lipripper]

I get what MR I is saying..I also get B's perspective as well. Im at a point right now where Im very motivated to try and complete my goal witch is fastly approaching... to be the best I can be at 50. Aug is around the corner.

the whole idea behind it is kind of selfish I think, but at the same time challenging and it inspires me to drive on. But I also know other responsibilities are first..so I have to balance the approach if you will.

but I have been making progress no doubt... I cant do the every day mirror thing...once a week I weigh in ect.. honestly..some times I wonder what I would be like "on" but then reality hits me again..Im just a skinny old bastard...:rofl:

At the end of the day, what matters most is what YOU think. Not what WE nor anyone thinks. We both look great, but with different types of physiques; we've proven this. But I'm happy with the way I am and just because you think otherwise, doesn't make me feel less of a human being. Because at the end of the day, when you take your shirt off and walk up to me, I will slap you around like Sally:thumup:

Self TRUE confidence within ourselves is the BIGGEST weapon over anything brother. You can have all that physique and I will grab a 145lb brown belt that will make you look like scooby doo bitch.

That's like you pulling up in a Ferrari and I'm driving the GTR....Yea your shit may be more money, but I'll spank you when the light goes green:) Aesthetic means shit, having a fucking heart and putting it on the line is where it counts.

I've learned through my years to leave my ego at the door when I roll. Yea I'm big, stocky and a brute for strength for my size and I can handle myself well. But I also know that 145lb brown belt I speak about, will hand me my ass at anytime. He does all the fucking time:ninja:


What most of us don't realize is that at some point in our lives, we will need to stop AS and be natural. Are you ready for that mentally? Don't think so but I am because I've been there many times before and still have looked and felt great.

Peace:D

Very well put! applies to everyone!!

Props on pushing yourself and nothing wrong with that.

I just thought it healthy to share how I was feeling and it sounds like I'm not alone in this

Great abs to hang out in my bathroom with.. Don't say your not being a dick when you clearly are.

Have I ever said that is ALL I concern myself with? Don't put words in my mouth.

Being in shape is very important to me yes, does that bother you?

Just because you aren't willing or simply cant get into shape doesn't give you the right to try and talk down to me because I am.

First, I wasn't being a dick don't be so sensitive....lol

I didn't put any words in your mouth I'm just going by what you do and say on here. Your desire to be in shape doesn't bother me, why would it? If anybody talks down to people around here its you. All I was saying is there are a lot more things in life (for most people) that are important and neglecting them for a perfect body isn't worth it. I'd rather look good and spend time with my family/friends then look "perfect" while ignoring those other things in life.

AKA you gave up on your diet because it got hard and now you use "i would rather enjoy life" as an excuse. Have you made any progress at all since you started the diet I wasted my time writing up like a fucken year ago? Not being a dick bro...

[Mr I]

Its about balance isn't it and I guess different for all. I'm more aligned with franks perspective than bouncers, but for me that can change for a short time with certain goals in mind

[Mr I]

Just looking at the avis in this discussion thread said alot hahaha! Me and B hitting the bathroom shots lol

[BEAST]

I'm perfectly happy where I'm at. :)

I'm lean enough to see my abs but not to lean to make myself crazy with low body fat and constant diet issues.

Life is short people. Enjoy what you got. :)

The difference is Frank has children. Kids are very consuming and doing things with them and for them, usually becomes a priority when you're a parent.

Life is so very short. Sometimes it's easy to miss the little things, which often end up the most memorable...

I'll be totally honest, if I had kids I'd spend less time in the gym, but then I'd personally get fat and want to hit the gym hard lol

I spent a LOT of time in the gym when my kids were younger, and sometimes I feel kind of bad about it.

But with that said, although I'm not like that anymore, I still won't ever be a big fatass! :panic:

As an Indian guy, I am at peace with losing the genetic lottery as far as physical characteristics are concerned. My ancestors who took the lower route out of Africa through Turkey and into Asia missed out totally on the Neanderthal genes that you Euros managed to incorporate so effectively :)

That being said, I still have goals to reach my genetic potential. Being natural, I don't obsess over every detail because I don't have AAS coursing through my veins and having a timetable as far as being on cycle is concerned. I am happy that I am stronger and fitter than most people my age, Indian or otherwise. But I am always going to looking to get better because I feel I am nowhere near my genetic potential.
