My friend goes to the gym.....

3 hours a day... and he's been in perfect shape his whole
life... I'm not knocking him for being healthy, but it's
really unnecessary how he goes about it. He's got some kind
of fucked up image about himself where he feels like he's
really skinny even though he's fucking RIPPED. It's really
weird, he's actually very embarrased about having his shirt
off and won't even do it.. One time some drunk girl ripped
his shirt off and he got really mad and embarrased and went
to his room and didn't come back out... We try to get him to
not go (to the gym) sometimes so he'll actually hang out
with us, but that shit never works. Is there something like
reverse anorexia? Cuz I think that's what my friend might
have... =\

reverse anorexia would be obesity....

You put on weight with exercise.

You see yourself every day and don't notice gradual change.
When I lost weight I couldn't tell I was loosing anything
but people would keep asking if I was ok and saying how slim
I looked but I couldn't see the loss myself. I didn't expect
that at all, maybe that works in reverse too?

Perhaps he genuinely likes working out? Weights bore the
hell out of me, but I'd still go swimming even without the
health benefits.

There is actually a condition called biggorexia or something
like that. It is a genuine condition (I'm not pissing
about) where people feel they look weedy and out of shape
even when they have muscles on muscles. There was a major
case of an 18 year old who died in the UK because he was
exercising in the gym too much and his heart eventually gave
way.

if obesity meant that you are really fat but think you are
skinny maybe....

it could be, but I highly doubt it... he's told me before
about how he gets like 3 reps into his set and is thinking
"i don't want to be here anymore"

haha, he's a lazy stoner.

The medical name for the condition I mention is "body
dysmorphia", in case it is any use to you.

it's like what arnold said in pumping iron: "every time i
work out i feel like i'm cumming, and then chicks see my
muscles and i feel like i'm cumming all day"

future president anyone?

maybe your friend's working out is like jacking off to us
average people. dig what i'm saying here: so we all like
to jack off, but it's kind of like a guilty pleasure ya
know? we don't like to let tons of people know about it...
so transform that onto your friends problem... he likes to
work out, but he feels guilty about the pleasure he gets
from working out, so he doesn't like people knowing that he
works out.... what your friend lacks is confidence, he
needs to feel good about working out, just like all of us,
if we really enjoy whacking, should feel GOOD about beating
off! think about if you could proudly say to yourself and
others, "I beat off today!" and then receive high fives all
around the room like it was some sort of accomplishment.

i wonder if there is some sort of corelation between
masterbation and drug addiction?

-peace out

Both are linked to endorfins. Opiates (that are mainly
responsible for chemical addiction) produce high dossages a
substance (among others) called endorphin from the human
brain. Endorphin works mainly as a painkiller. The same
thing occurs with functions ,like masturbation and sexual
intercourse with another hu-man at their peak. An orgasm is
in fact due to the simultaneous release of a large dose of
endorphins (a very small fraction than the one released by
opiates of course). Oh endorphins are also released with the
consumption of chocolate hence some people's addiction to
candy and stuff.

maybe he just likes working out and is also very
self-conscious... you can be buffed, and still
self-conscious...

for example, I'm hot, but I'm also very shy and
self-conscious! ;)

how does his parents look? he may be afraid of getting fat
or thin or getting some disease they have gotten because he
thinks he's genetically inclined to get it.
