Surprised I haven't talked about this one yet, probably because of my insecurities about it. Probably my least favorite feature of my body. I remember all the times in high school I would be deathly afraid to take off my shirt to change for gym class because I know someone would be right there to laugh at me telling me to go find a bra. Being as sensitive as I was at that time, you can imagine how soul-crushing those types of comments were. The appropriate term is called Gynecomastia. It is the abnormal development of large mammary glands in males resulting in breast enlargement. There are case of men having extreme cases of gynecomastia. I didn't know it was as common as it is. I think I may have a small case of it myself. I had some huge moobs in high school. Since I've lost the weight, it hasn't been too bad. I still get embarassed taking my shirt off, especially when clothes shopping and having to look in the mirror. I still have my issues, believe you me. I'm getting better with accepting my body. Just need to keep working out and eating better and let my body change the way it needs to so the man boobs will decrease. I wish you could pick where you want to lose weight, but it takes a full body workout to get the job done. Always one to look for the bright side of things, I can do the pec dance now. So take that man boobs!
And yes, I had to put that picture up.
