Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 3, 2019 I was looking back at how my life used to be in my 20's, and I was a total gym rat. I would weigh my food and would always try and diet to stay fit and lean. After some internal analyzing, I realized that I was severely compensating for my lack of hair. I wanted to be seen as the "fit" guy instead of the "bald" guy. I still exercise to stay healthy, but I'm nothing like I used to be at all. My focus and outlook has completely changed. It's all thanks to my hair. I've even had a few people ask me if I still work out, which would have upset me when I was bald, now I don't care haha. Did any of you guys do this? Doesn't have to be with the gym, could be with schooling, cars, material possessions etc. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted October 3, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted October 3, 2019 I actually gained about 30 pounds from becoming a gym rat (went from 145 to 175)....too bad not all of it was muscle though haha. I attribute it to compensating for my hair loss too. Going to the gym is a great stress reliever for me though so I continue to go when time permits. I totally relate to what you're saying. I believe I'm 1 hair transplant away from being happy with my hair (have had 2 FUTs so far). My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

Senior Member LaserCap Posted October 3, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted October 3, 2019 I think most guys dealing with hair loss compensate by growing facial hair. I am guessing, for those who get really depressed, weight does come into play because they can't stop eating. We all deal with stress in one way or another. But it is the stress that's contributing to the hair loss. It is not the culprit but can sure have an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I have enough donor area and laxity that I can probably do 1-2 more FUT sessions. I might consider FUE as well.
