Yeah but then you hit the point that I'm at which is "I do this SO MUCH and my diet is SO GOOD why do I still look SO AVERAGE!?!

and you see concerning behaviors from yourself that are the beginnings of eating disorder territory and start fucking with supplements that simultaneously "dont work" but yet are banned by sporting bodies... and the stupid exercise becomes part of your mental health problem.

If you eat well and work out, you are probably looking really nice! Don't compare yourself to "perfect" people on instagram, compare yourself with who you where before (or just for fun with the average person in wallmart). It also helps to find another goal than simple looking good, such as lifting a certain weight, or participate in sport events. Makes it all way more fun.

Finding another goal is a good suggestion. It's what worked for me, at least. Instead of it being about how I appeared in a mirror (which was suuuuper variable and depended a lot on my mood), it became something measurable I could easily track progress with.
