There are a lot of people who would pay good money to be in the sub 10% BF range as you look to be. In the most manly way possible, you look great and I wish you could see that as well.
but would they take the feeling absolute chit along with it? thanks for the support and I appreciate it coming from another lifter. I feel I look fat and that's pretty disturbing considering I weigh only 147 pounds yet I have this bit of skin/fat on the bottom of my abs
Everything single person in the world has wrinkled up skin when they bend forward like that...
it makes me feel sick when I do it\ and it sticks out of my shirt
<<Hugs>> You look fine!
no matter what anyone says I wont believe them
And this is why everyone is banging on about your therapy...0 -

How can you possible think there is fat there? The mind is crazy. (not yours inparticular)
You realize those are your side obliques protruding right there?0 -

Yea, they probably do...
Did you lose a lot of weight? Do you have loose skin? I have that issue.0 -

It's honestly all in your head. There isn't much we can do to help you other than tell you that you look fine/awesome/lean. All that good stuff. You do realize that even ab muscles stick out so once you are lean and losing fat around them they aren't going to be flat? If you want a "flat" stomach, you need to add fat there really.1 -
Since you've already said you're not going to believe anything anybody says, why even bother posting anymore? You need to get your mental issues sorted out, nothing else is going to do any good. Yes, you're working out too much. FAR too much. Yes, you're obsessive about it and need help for it. No, you're not fat. No, your stomach doesn't stick out. No, most people don't work out that much and don't feel "guilty" about only lifting 3 or 4 days a week, an hour or so per session (which is plenty enough to build a great physique). No, there's absolutely no need to spend 2.5 hours 6 times per week in the gym. None.
In addition to your OCD, it looks like you've got a pretty strong bit of body dysmorphia going on. And until you get those fixed, you'll never be satisfied with your physique or your workouts or your bodyfat or your diet or your training routine.
This is not being "mean" or hateful or anything else. It's honest talk and it's things you need to hear and realize.6 -

I need to add fat to make me look better? :S0 -
