I got a few myself:
Before I even knew what gynecomastia was and before I even thought that what I had was abnormal, my dad had pointed out to my mother that I needed to lose weight in my chest region. I was about 19 and I was working out at home in the basement. I thought I just had round pecs but for some reason, that embarrassed me because it came from the old man. My sister looked at me one day and said, you got moobs like a 13 year old girl. Man oh man, did that sting.
As time wore on, friends would make comments but I would just laugh it off. One time, I was up at a friends cottage and I decided to take my shirt off. I know, stupid me right. It was about 5 of us and we went out on a boat to the middle of a lake so I didn't think it would be a big deal. One of the girls that was with us stared at me and I can tell at what she was staring at so I threw my t-shirt on right away. Thank God she didn't start talking about it. Cut to a few months later (winter time), I met up with her again and as we hugged each other hello, I jokingly whispered in her ear, nice boobs. Her response was not as nice as yours. Wow! I laughed it off but man did I feel like shite.
A few friends would mention it whenever we went to the gym and we all showered afterwards. I had to shower because there was no way I was walking around with body sweat for the rest of the day. We all left at the same time because I was either their ride or they were my ride so it was totally unavoidable.
That's what I keep saying to myself. This shouldn't be something that's going to keep burdening me for the rest of my life. I love the beach and I love to dive into a refreshing pool on a hot summer's day. I shouldn't have to think twice about doing either. I think there's a lot of guys here who have sacrificed personal fun so they won't be humiliated. I workout hard and I'd like to show off my progress with a nice tight t-shirt from time to time but I have never done that. The arms are big, the shoulder and back is broad and the legs look nice but what's the point?
I really thought that I was going to live with this thing for the rest of my life. Last year, I really made the effort to lose weight, eat right and really work on the weights. I lived for the bench press but as we all know, that won't make a difference. I am a bit of a guru on getting and staying in shape because I did a lot of reading on losing weight and I incorporated a lot of exercises into my routine but until I came to this site, I didn't know the only way to lose my gyne was by surgery. If everything goes as planned, I have my surgery with Dr. Fielding on July 13. To all the guys out there who don't think there's a light to the end of this tunnel, there is; it's called surgery. Thanks to the people who started this forum.
Side note: I live in Brampton, Ontario (alright Bambu) and I was at a park with my son and girlfriend last summer. They had a small pool and some showers that you can run in and out of and splash around in. It was so funny because I knew right away I wasn't taking my shirt off but when I looked around, almost all the dads had their t-shirt on as well and most of them were in the pool. I couldn't tell if they had gyne but I thought to myself, maybe I'm not the only one with this problem.
