Enfer Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hello, Loveshack community , this is my first post . anyway. I was on http://www.ask.com earlier today and I remember something I wanted to search for; "How can I get rid of my man boobs." and if you haven't guessed my concern yet well that is it. But, I first should give you some information on myself so that possible conclusions can be identified. I am 16 year old male, I am a "Jock" type; been playing sports since I can remember. I am 6'1/2'' and weigh in at about 235lbs, very broad shoulders, some call them "swimmers shoulders" if I recall correctly. When I was younger I used to eat more junk food ex - chips, candy, pop, etc.., but, now I don't really eat much at all. My weekday food intake looks like this pretty much everyday: Breakfast - bowl of kellogs cereal w/o some fruit (skim milk), Lunch - one 24oz water bottle, handful of 'baked' not regular chips, and one white breaded peanut butter sandwhich or ham/turkey instead of the peanut butter, Snacks- bottles of water, Dinner- glass of skim milk, a meat, bread, and fruits. Now to get on with the current problem. As I grew up I have been made fun of for having red hair/green eyes (<-- already made me stick out) then being a big guy doesn't help, the correct insult term "fat" comes to bear in my mind or relating to me as being big. Since these insults started (1st grade, such a nice elemantary school eh?) I have tried getting the "skinny as a stick" look many times over through out the years. But hard workouts and basically fasting myself to fainting a couple of times have done nothing. I still have love handles a very small belly and very small man boobs. I can tell by my frame that the fat in my body has been distributed poorly in my luck. Another thing, I used to and still do love the water. I feel like a dolphin when I am in it . It is one of the main reasons I have such built up back muscles. But I haven't gone swimming and enjoyed it since I realised I don't look like the media's view of what a "real" guy should look like. Also I don't buy shirts unless they cover up my upper chest region. This problem also effects how I feel around the opposite sex. Since I am not a skeletor guy, I am seen as "fat" by girls around me and they really don't realise how much of a psyche affect it has on a person; not to mention the new view of the accuser the victim has. I don't like to touched or hugged at all because I don't trust anyone quite frankly, which is a real confidence killer, and I am a "flirt" type so how am I supposed to get my "flirt on" when I get too nervous/embarassed/defensive over someone touching me? I have even asked my Girlfriend about it and she said it doesn't change her view of me at all but something in the back of my mind programmed by all the negativety towards me tells me otherwise. In fact today I worked out for five hours (cardio, weights, fasting, and all that good stuff) To get this post towards an end, when I flex my upperbody, my man boobs go away into a hard muscled chest...but as soon as i let my arms down they go back into their "embarassed" state. If anyone has a way of getting rid of these things it would be much appreciated since it makes me mad every waking moment of everyday. Thanks, http://myspace-367.vo.llnwd.net/00284/76/39/284739367_l.jpg (picture of me for reference) If anyone has anymore questions just ask, I am open to any. Link to post Share on other sites
