being thin

[Bryan Lim]

Sometimes, when i walk around in college, i see a lot of guys who are larger than me. and then, i think 'damn! why can't i have their body shape'.
I look back on me and see how thin i am. a lot of people think that they themselves are overweight but for me, they look just right. They are not fat, just big (know what i mean?).
i am a guy. and i am supposed to be big. I don't expect to have a muscular body like Arnold or something but sometimes i wonder 'why can't God give me a larger body so that i appear more masculine?' i don't wanna appear like a twig or a mouse in public.
Don't get me wrong. i did all sorts of things. I drank high protein milk, live a very inactive lifestyle, eat two bowls of rice twice a day. and yet, i don't get any larger. I don't wanna be fat , i just wanna be large. you know, large enough to appear more masculine. Girls like that.
sometimes, when i look at a large guy in college, i fantasize i would point at him and say to my Father in Heaven 'I want that type of body' and poof! i am larger. THe cruel reality is , it does not work that way.
i get ashamed of my body. i wear two layers of clothes just to look bigger. I am ashamed......ashamed.
Thanks for listening to my rant.

hi Bryan..what's your specs? It might not be that bad.

 

[Bryan Lim]

I am sorry. I don't have a measurement or something. But I do know I look like a twig. My body is the I shape, not the desired V shape.

 

[seangoh]

well, i should have specified..u know your weight and height?

 

[Bryan Lim]

i am 167.6 cm tall. as for the weigh, i am not so sure somewhere around the vicinity of 45kg, i think.

First off,,the words fantasize and man should never be in the same sentence coming from a straight man. LOL I'm just busting your chops.

Before i started lifting i was 145-150lbs and about 5'10-11. 5years later i'm about 194,,so i added about 40lbs of muscle and no more fat. The cool thing about being a guy is that you CAN change what you look like. You can decide to get bigger and actually do it. It sweet. It takes work, work, discipline and more work. Are you up to it?

 

[Sketcher]

Just lift some wieights and see what happens. Here's a tip, though - thin or not, if you want to look more masculine and make all the guys jealous, grow some good facial hair. A nice, full goatee will do wonders, or better yet, a full beard. If if comes in good and thick, you will look tougher and the guys you know will come up to you and tell you how they can't get away with it because it just doesn't come in.

 

[Bryan Lim]

Tuffguy, as i said i am no gay.
Oh, is there a way to gain weight fast instead of exercising? i mean what kind of diet you guys recommend? i don't mind getting more oil and fat into my diet if that is what it takes.
Twisted, I am a small built Asian young men and i grow facial hair slowly. Sucks, i know. *sigh*

 

[Sketcher]

Oh. Sorry, man.

See, I'm trying to lose weight right now. I have been living an unhealthy lifestyle for far too long. Just excersize and be healthy. Take up running, so if anyone asks you why you're thin, you have an excuse. Work on your tone and definition, so when you do hit the beach, they'll see that you're a lean, mean, athletic machine.

 

[canehdianhotstuff]

im 6'1 and 150lbs i am a twig lol.

 

[seangoh]

Bryan, sorry to say, but the only way to gain weight FAST is to eat more and exercise. You can start off with bodybuilding and you'll start eating more naturally. I'm sure you'll gain at least 10kg in 3 or 4 months if you do it 3 times a week.

 

[Bryan Lim]

Really? I was hoping there would be a miracle diet or something. I am not hoping for any recommendations of consuming dangerous pills. Just any fast-acting diet. Some people recommended drinking milk along with some eggs in it. weird.

 

[Sketcher]

What's the hurry? It takes time to get a worthwhile change going. See a doctor about this. I don't believe in miricle diets.

You can take in all the protein you want, but if you don't exercise, it's like delivering lumber to a construction site where everybody's on strike.

If you want to get bigger without getting fat, muscle is about your best option, which means you've got to earn it.

can a girl butt in here? I feel I have to say you shouldn't worry about how thin you are, it really won't make any difference to most girls. Hey, some thin guys are pretty sexy

 

[Raanan]

Like tigress said, you really shouldn't worry. Workout if that's what you want to do but seriously, size doesn't make a man. In all honesty, I generally have more respect for people with brains then brawn (with me being a body builder to though I haven't been to a gym in 2 years... I miss it. It's a fun thing to do). After all, what good is brawn in a technological world? You're just more likely to break stuff.

You are who you are. There's no need to be ashamed or apologize.

 

[MrsGnomeCrusher]

size doesn't make a man.

What he said. The size of your muscles hasn't got a thing compared to the size of your heart.

i am a guy. and i am supposed to be big.

You know, I understand that statement. I'm a gal and I'm just shy of 6' and built like I can break you in two. I've had nicknames such as: Xena, Princess Warrior and Chyna (as in the wrestler). I'm a girl. I'm suppose to be petite and cute.

You must come to accept yourself for who you are. It's hard and most days I have trouble. I've come to understand that I'm made this way for a reason (although I haven't found that reason yet ). You're perfect the way you are!

Why be big without having muscles??? If you can be big and get muscles, why not? Start bodybuilding...it's actually the easier way out to being bigger than eating more.

Work out to feel good about yourself and also will prolong your life. I admit to not eating right nor watching my weight as I used to as a kid/teen. But I do tae-bo at least five to six times a week from anywhere between an half-hour to an hour. But it is the heart and soul that count and people liking you on the inside and not the outside.
