I don't have body dysmorphia as I know I'm not actually physically fat, I look in the mirror and don't see a fat person, however I indentify as one and often feel phantom fat. Therefore I do things such as sit in the middle of two bus seats, to have space for my phantom fat. I even own a few clothes in sizes far larger than my physical size.
I don't see being fat as a bad thing, just a body type.
Is it normal to identify as a black male in this way?
