I like the structure but not the shape yet, I want my stomach flatter, thinner thighs and harder arms like I had at 19.

I just ate a tin of smoked eel on my doctors recommendations which I requested out of wanting to start treating my body like a temple, as I should've been doing from the start.

I just need to focus more so on nutrition this time as running 12 miles per day at 19 for a year caught up when I started having hemoptysis episodes which required several hospitalizations which saw me lose my flat stomach and hard arms.

I'll get them back and so much more, but I'll keep them and stay out of the hospital. And by the way, smoked eel is really good.

Oh yes, I said it, eel is good! You know the saying, "That was bad and you should feel bad"? Well, that eel was good, and i feel super human, already😎

Yeah, I've been fit and in shape my entire life. 6'2" and 205 lbs with a 34" waist and 44" chest. I have muscled legs and glutes. I'm about 10 lbs heavier than the day I graduated from college and entered the army 38 years ago. I still run, ski, lift weights, mountain bike, climb mountains, backpack, hike, swim, and bodysurf.

For my age, I'm probably in the top 1% of men when it comes to fitness and overall body proportions. I got lucky in the gene pool and I put in a lot of work over my lifetime. I have zero complaints about this body. It has served me very well.

This is a complicated question for me. I’ve had chronic pain since I was two years old so for me, I wish my body was different. Not that I think I’m ugly or I have a bad body just that I wish I didn’t deal with the pain that I do deal with other than the pain. I’m happy with my person. I’m happy with who I am if other people don’t like the way I look they don’t have to look at me. There’s plenty of other things and people to look at.

DishLady · Answer

Yeah, I'm basically happy as I am. Used to be a total "hardbody athlete" and wasn't a fan of all the staring and attention. Now I'd say I'm normal hour glass (Fit Fifties) type. I'm confident but not cocky, which I think is good. I've been told I'm sexy, so I guess that's also good.

Screenwriter · Answer

One thing I love about my body is that it's strong and functional. It could bear some improvement, but I can mow my lawn, clean up around my house and do what I need to do to survive with it.

I'm pear shaped, but that's better than being top heavy. Big tits aren't a gift. They get in the way of doing anything athletic and performing tasks. If you could put them on for fancy events and store them otherwise, might be worth having interchangeable sets.

Apulu_backagain · Answer

I am not in my best shape right now, I am kind of fat and don't enjoy it. I miss how skinny and fit my body was when I was 14. I am not saying skinny body is superior but I felt like myself in that shape, nowadays I restrict my movements a lot because I don't like the way my body moves and the dresses I prefer to wear don't match my body. As soon as my senior year finals are over, I am going to lock in and shed it all.

RandomGirl42 · Answer

On the outside, yes, even if it's been pointed out I have "child-bearing hips". My body gives me enough confidence to strike vain poses in the mirror.🤣 Internally I'm not all that pleased with my bladder. 😳

AliceGregory · Answer

I am, because I stay in shape don't hold myself to the standard set by instagram. I understand that >99% of don't have the genetics to look like that.

My motto is this: noBODY can be perfect but everyBODY can be beautiful <3

MrChinaski · Answer

My body is all over the place right now. I'm about, slightly less than, the average weight I've been in the past two decades, but then due to illness I'm putting up tiny numbers in the power cage. Some days my abs are visible, other days I feel like a blimp. I'm just trying to roll with it for now.
