I put the trigger icon because I don't know how the eating disorder folks will react to this thread.

I have had a body image problem since I began working out as a teen. It's not to the extent that I respond with eating disorders, but I don't recognize when I am in good shape. My wife always told me I had this problem but I didn't believe her until recently.

I had posted some pictures on a fitness site a while back. After gaining 23 pounds while on seroquel, and looking back at those pictures, I should have been quite satisfied with my body at the time. I wasn't, and remembered how frustrating it was that I was working out so hard and not getting any better. Even now, after losing 11 pounds in 6 days, I am still embarrassed by my weight and am not feeling better about myself.

Surely this isn't a rare problem. Has anybody been able to fix this problem? Maybe make it a little better? I know about the self talk deal, but how about specific "treatments"?
