Does any of the guys here feel inadequete when you see pics of the guys in health magazines with their perfect fat free muscled bodies? I suppose it's the same for women regarding pictures of glamour models and celebs.

It doesn't help that i am hyper sensitive about my body image, you see i have a history of annorexia. It just seems to me that they give the impression that the only way to lead a succesful life is to look like these models. It's pretty heartbreaking to think of it.

I certainly feel the need to build up muscle because I am so skinny, never feel that I have enough time to do anything now that I'm at uni though.

I'm not skinny, i am fairly well built but i'm always paranoid about how my stomach appears which is why i am afraid of taking off my top in summer time.

I suppose you are right that they have to spend every waking hour in the gym and also they have to eat only healthy stuff every two hours.....So really it is a boring way of life!
