    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

This has definitely inspired me! I've been skinny all my life, and have not gained much weight even when I try. I'm annoyed by all the people that tell me that being skinny is a "good" problem to have. Gonna start drinking a gallon of milk a day and continue to work out. We'll see how it goes!!!

I keep coming back to this post as my main motivation. I have been similar in height and weight to you most of my life and was always the lanky/skinny guy. I have friends questioning my diet and why I'm drinking so much milk, and this creates doubt in my mind. I just come back here and reread your post and my faith in what I'm doing is restored. Thank you.

bluestreak
I can only echo what others have said and say thank you for a brilliant post.
The mental side of things, especially body image, is the number 1 thing that is holding me back at the moment, and what's worse, I know it!! Here's the thing; I don't want to get fat again. There I've said it. This is what stops me trying the GOMAD or even half GOMAD. However, after reading your story I think I need to try and get over this ridiculous fear and get on with it. Jcraig always says eat big, and while I know he's right I've been afraid to try, maybe it time to do something about it.
Thanks and keep it up dude.
