wanting to get big can be just as bad if your head is in the wrong place. i've seen it called 'bigorexia. just be careful.

Hi I’ve had an on and off restrictive ed that, usually, when it’s off it’ll become a binge ed…. I just became a gym girlie about a month ago and I’m struggling a LOT. I’ve successfully weaned myself off of the scale with my partners help and haven’t touched it in ages. But ever since eating 1700-1800 every day with my recomp plan, I keep weighing myself and getting scared at it going up… I know it’s probably muscle growth and water for the most part but still.

I’m proud I can eat without much fear now and I look right at the protein amount instead of the calorie amount when I track for macros. But the scale has become a slight voice in my mind trying to get me to relapse lately. But I keep telling myself that if the gym and eating like this works for other gym people then why wouldn’t it work for me? Just gotta put in the effort and trust in time

I just hit a month of lifting with extremely light cardio and I've noticed I've felt a lot more confident even if there's been no noticeable positive changes yet! I hope I continue and push that scale voice down successfully some more!

basically it's the feeling that your never muscular enough and that your body fat is never low enough. also called 'muscular dysphoria' it can be pretty dangerous
