Dysmorphia comes from seeing fitness as a journey to perfection.. Once I started seeing it as a journey of consistency and improvement, I started loving the guy in the mirror.

I remember cutting so hard last year that it was killing me, I was sticking with my diet, doing cardio everyday and working my full time physical labor job. I was stuck at 170 for about a month and never got down, and was depressed not seeing that number go down despite my lean physique. It got to a point where I was walking home and I had heavy brain fog and nearly passed out, and that was my wake up call to snap out of it. Please appreciate your progress and look how far you've come compared to where you started, and always compare yourself with yourself and improve.

Thank you for using your platform to raise and discuss such a prevalent issue in the world of fitness 🙏 At just 21 years old I entered a bikini comp. I was so depleted and for the first time ever experienced anxiety as a result of the extremely low calories and hormonal disruptions it caused. I received no post-show care or reverse diet regime. I never saw or heard from my coach again after show day. So I ate, and ate, and ATE, compensating for the emotional damage and ultimately the starvation I'd experienced.. 2 weeks post show I was 21 lbs heavier and broke out in hives all over my body from the excessive amounts of sugar and UPF's I'd consumed. In hindsight I was absolutely experiencing disordered eating, including before and during the prep. I was lucky to have the awareness that I couldn't continue damaging my body like this, and then worked on my relationship to food and learned how to nourish my body properly, without caring about 'how I looked' and what my body fat % was. It's a rocky road that not everybody can bounce back from. PLEASE do your research before considering competing and REMEMBER that the MIND and SOUL work of resistance training is equal to, if not MORE important than the aesthetics of the sport.

Jesse Thankyou so much for this vid on this subject. Talking As a dad My daughter had this 8 years ago , it developed into anorexia . She spent 7 months in a secured hospital unit being watched and we were told she could have a heart attack at any time as her heart beat went down to 40 beats per minute. It was the worse time of our lives as a family. After being released she found the gym and never looked back. Now she looks amazing is engaged and has a 9 month old baby boy. I m so proud of her but that feeling is still there and there’s a fine line between feeling that way and going down the route of where my daughter went. This is why it’s so important that the media like yourself across the board promote healthy bodies come in many shapes and sizes not just the perfect aesthetic look because there’s a lot of young girls and boys that need to be assured they are not worthless or ugly because they dont have a six pack !! This is a huge topic. Again Thankyou for raising this issue. I nearly lost my daughter so you can imagine how watching this touched me and brought back memories. Your a top man Jesse, Dean

Damn, this video hit hard! Over the last four years, my weight has fluctuated. I initially lost 6/7 stone in the first two years (during covid), dropping from a 38" waist to a 30/31" waist, and felt really confident - the best I’ve ever felt, both physically and mentally. However, the past two years have been a massive mental struggle with body dysmorphia. Even though I now wear small/medium sizes, I still feel like I’m wearing XXL, which is crazy. Annoyingly, this has consumed 100% of my time, and I haven’t been happy with my appearance, although people would disagree! As a result, I’ve developed a really bad eating disorder. Even though I know this is all in my head and I’m working on it, I’m struggling to snap out of it! Thanks for bringing awareness!

It’s even worse now because of social media everywhere. I didn’t have much social media when i was growing up but it was still out there. Its definitely way more prevalent now and it affects all genders! I would go to the gym for 4-5 hours a day and wouldnt leave until I would burn every single calorie I ate that day. It took a toll on me. Then I ended up later on being diagnosed with pcos and went the complete opposite way after my dad passed away and gained soo much weight from Stress eating. It’s really hard That we are soo stuck in what is considered “Aesthetically pleasing” according to “societal norms”

Most posts on social media are just people fishing for compliments to make them feel better about themselves. I'm not sure there's anything wrong with that but it can get obsessive for some people...Where they feel the need to post and post constantly to get that love they desire.

Alot of people forget where they started and they are comparing themselves against people who make lifting/fitness their job. I've gone back and looked at old pictures of myself and realized how much more fit I've become. On the flipside that as you get older it is going to be hard to maintain. And if you are out here at 70, 80, 90+ still walking, still trying, still going you gotta change your goals being able to walk up a hill at 90+ is insane.

What a great video. Thank you for sharing this. I was worried about you when seeing your videos about competing. You did not look happy. ❤ I survived anorexia nervousa and am so very glad I did. It got so bad that I actually lost the ability to feel any joy and also fell into psychosis for two long years. I am so happy to have recovered. Sending love and peace to all those who are suffering. ❤

definitely hit me because I've had super bad body dysmorphia from being 297 lbs then dropping down to 158 in a year and a half starting my fitness journey. Never being ok with how I looked or happy with muscle i put on. Fastforward to about two years ago my mom passed away at 55 and I turned towards comfort eating only making my body dysmorphia worse while putting on 70 lbs to be 240 from 170lbs. Now that Ive been looking towards cutting back down again, Im hoping to enjoy the process, not overdo it and just get to a happy lean state for myself and definitely take note of dr. Mike and soak in the sun!

I think some people overexaggerate saying they have an actual mental condition. Most of these people don't have body dysmorphia, they are just unhappy with what they look like. Calling that a disorder is like saying you are depressed when you are just having a bad day.

Yeah. Wanting to look the best you can and practicing a healthy activity like training is not a disorder. Being ok with being fat, overweight and obese like over 70% of the US and Mexico...that´s a disorder.

It's not for you to gatekeep what a mental disorder means, DSM-V makes it very clear that it's a subjective matter. Almost every disorder in it begins with "if it causes distress for the individual..." Also too many people tend to believe mental disorders are something extremely noticable and severe, which is why they won't seek the help they can get for their problems.

@@IlIlIlIlIlIlIllIlIII It's not for you to tell me what's for me. What the fuck is this attitude? I am not gatekeeping anything, just stating my opinion. I've had to go through things like this myself, but I pushed through, and I can tell you from my experience that some people believe they know what they are talking about, but they don't. A friend of mine would say she's extremely depressed over something that happened at work, 10 minutes later she seemingly forgot how depressed she is having a nice cold drink on the beach with her besties. Yeah, must be nice to be that type of depressed. Perhaps she should be prescribed some extremely addictive medicine for her extremely serious condition? "if it causes distress" doesn't mean it should be considered an actual mental condition. It's up to the individual if they want to seek help or not.
