F19 5’5 sw: 155lbs gw: 135-120lbs
I gained about 20 lbs this past year and no longer feel like me. I’m uncomfortable in my body. Ive also been consistently working out for over a year so Ik some of it is muscle but I know a good amount is fat.
The weight gain was steady so I didn’t notice it right away. When I gained 10 lbs and got to 145 I didn’t really mind too much cause I knew most was muscle but that excuse could only go so far. I started snacking all the time, just continuously grazing all day.
This past fall I got a job out of state in Oregon. and moved away for a few months, I’m from California so I’m not really used to having to wear layers when it gets cold and for the first time in my life I was properly bundled head to toe most of the day. So for about 2 1/2 months I didn’t even really look at my body until I came back to California and weighed myself. I was 157lbs. That’s the most I have ever weighed and in my life.
In the beginning of my fitness journey I was 135, naturally curvy, and was just starting to gain muscle definition. I was really happy with how I was looking for the first time ever. And now when I look in the mirror I’m just disappointed.
Most of my weight went to my thighs and butt so none of my pants fit me anymore and I’ve just been wearing sweat pants. While the majority of my weight is in my bottom half you can still it a bit in my stomach and face. I started addressing my snacking habits and am pretty good about snacking now. I’ve been doing intermittent fasting, and eating Whole Foods while trying to cut out refined and processed carbs and sugars. I’ve lost 2-3 lbs so far and Ik it’s going to take a while to get to my goal weight or original weight but I’m just so uncomfortable with how I look rn.
Has anyone else felt like this and if so how did you cope? I could really use some encouragement rn
I just needed to get this off my chest thanks to anyone who read all this.
