Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 9622740">I am approaching 50 so just happy to be alive. And I don't know your age (you might be my age, older or younger). But one thing I have noticed online, especially on youtube, is guys are starting get body issues like I have never seen before (I mean there was always pressure to get muscles, but I've never seen guys so into looking like models before and so stressed out if they aren't getting the same physique as people they see with youtube channels. I am not saying this is the case with you but I mention it just to point out, some of these people who look like they are in peak physical shape, are headed for an early grave because of how they are getting there (there is a lot of performance enhancing drugs being used soley for aesthetics these days, and often recklessly). So I just focus on my health and how I feel. Every once in a while it is good to look in the mirror and see you are fit, but my advice is only pay attention to others if it is giving you positive motivation. And only pay attention to your own reflection if it is helping and you aren't going overboard. I weigh myself in the morning, and that generally gives me an honest sense of what I ought to be doing that day. Out of curiosity where is it you are feeling your own fitness is lacking in relation to them? (i.e. do you feel like you are not losing enough weight, or do you feel like you ought to have more muscle mass, etc)</blockquote>
