Bigarexia, Megarexia,MDM (muscle dysmorphia)
Being preoccupied with muscle development may involve a disturbance in body image similar to anorexia. Bigorexia (muscular dysmorphia) is now affecting hundreds of thousands of men. For some men muscle development is such a complete preoccupation that they will miss important events, continue training through pain or broken bones, even lose their job rather than interrupt their physical development schedule. Curiously, these same men are not in love with their bodies. Despite a well developed physique they are unlikely to show it off and will shy away from situations that expose their bodies.
I heard this on the radio today, it must be what's wrong with me. I don't see it as a problem, I see it as a solution. It has helped me and my family lead a healthier lifestyle, so what if its an obsession.
What do you guys think?
