I'm the same way. I really wish I could gain at least 10 pounds. Other than that, I'm actually pretty comfortable with my body.

Thanks for the replies guys. I don't know if this is right or wrong but I feel like if I'm strong physically I would be strong mentally and by being mentally strong I mean having more confidence in you. There are great websites about what to eat to gain weight and they don't ask for any money. I highly recommend those who wants to gain more weight to just google them.

I'm not really that uncomfortable with my body, but I actually kind of am. Well like one day I'll think it's perfectly fine, and the next day I will think I have the most disgusting shape in the whole world. I am way more uncomfortable with my face, and I actually just seem to pick out flaws in everything I have. Like today I thought my body looked horrible, it's just like oh "I wish I could be thinner, and have better legs, and be taller, and have a nicer shape." I see things wrong in almost everything. I'm not really scared to go to the gym either, I'm just too lazy.

I strongly feel that i am too thin and just awkwardly shaped, for my age anyway. I need to hit the gym regularly. I feel like i look like a lazy, weak nerd to other people. Id like to gain about 50 lbs of lean mass in the next year or two. Not to look cool, not to attract girls - but to feel right, to feel like a man. I think it's important when dealing with your overall confidence.
The worse thing i have is chest hair... it is disgusting and difficult to shave off.
I dont know what to do about... go get it waxed off? But id feel like a complete idiot for sure walkin in there for that...[/i]

im proud to say that I am very pleased with my body. I workout alot and I am so happy that I feel like smiling when I look at myself in the mirror with my shirt off. lol! may sound a lil homo but its the truth. Working out has really added another whole field of things that make my life enjoyable. If you feel bad about your body, just WORK OUT!!!! Even if you feel like nothing on your body is changing when you work out, it still just feels great knowing that you actually did something productive.

I am way too thin, but I really don't think about it very often. Maybe I should though. I don't know.

If you're naturally thin, despite eating right, then screw it. You are who you are. There's no shame in that. I sure as hell wouldn't pick on someone or joke about it.

I've been very embarrassed about my body because I was "obese" (according to a BMI calculator, I still am, but that's bullcrab).
Now that I eat right and exercise a lot, I'm slowly becoming more comfortable with my body. I guess it's going to help a lot with my self esteem later on.

I'd like to gain at least 15 more pounds. But I have been more comfortable with myself after lifting weights and exercising. Which I do in my basement. I can't stand going to a gym. I think I would be self-conscious at the beach no matter what I do.
