I've been bulking since September and I've gained 9 pounds. I'm pretty happy with my progress in the gym, but my thighs are starting to get a little too big/bulky for my liking. I have a tiny body frame and all of my weight has gone to my thighs! They went from 18.5 inches to 20.5 which isn't that much but on my body it looks un proportioned. Any way I can shrink them? I'm hoping that when I cut all they'll get smaller since the majority of my fat gain was in them. I was also wondering if it's possible to retain water in thighs because most people bloat like crazy when they first bulk but I felt that my thighs ballooned.
Not trolling, just curious! Thank you

I looked at your Bodyspace photos (ugh, Bodyspace works so poorly now). Anyway, I would suspect a mild dysmorphic syndrome after contrasting what you wrote in your OP with the photos you posted.

When I buy clothes and if I see a pair of shorts / troursers I really like - I need to buy 2 or 3 pairs of the same colour. Reason: A pair normally wears out in 2 months - as the materials rub against each other and then wear out in the (inner) thigh region. What a bummer.Originally Posted by BBqChicken1

In your head you are thinking they should look like they did when you obviously had an ED, as you looked sickly. Now they are starting to look better, but in your head it doesn't look right.2 time survivor of The Great Misc Outages of 2022

No brain, no gain.
"The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon

no. they definitely dont look bad. i'd say your doing good.
You are not a fragile ornament ready to collapse into an exhausted mass of goo simply because you squatted more than once in a 7-day week.
It'd be like preparing your entire life to bang 100 chicks in a row, getting tan, hitting the gym, making sure your hair looks right and reading the Kama Sutra, only to realize when you get there that you're gay and cannot get hard in the presence of women.
