Have you lost your perspective too?

I started training because i have always admired muscular physiques in women, my body now is more muscular than the women I wanted to look like. Yet I tend to assume that I am fairly normal looking & other people are too skinny. I feel I have lost perspective on what is normal for a woman, I think my legs are normal-ish, my husband says I look like 'a bulgarian weightlifter' (bless his cotton socks!). It's a kind of 'body dysmorphic syndrome' thing. Does anyone else feel like this?

I know what your getting at i keep getting the i'm big statement,... i i really dont think so!
i think its because we tend to compare ourselves with the Giants of BB!

I understand. I look much better than I ever have but it's never enough. Sometimes I wish I could just be content and I worry that I'll never be satisfied with myself.

If you are content with how muscular you look, great!
Try lowering you bodyfat %. And I am not trying to be insulting. It's just that I was happy too and this diet I am on is killing me and VERY challenging. Maybe it could give you something to train for???

I think the better you look, the more you want to look better. I dont think its loosing perspective. Its more like wanting to be the best you can be..(without joining the Army). I personally dont see anything wrong with it.
