Hi! So I joined this group because I want some help on unhealthy expectations and also advice on losing weight.
Growing up I was always ridiculously tiny. I was very healthy as well because I did gymnastics/cheer, but all the way through high school I weighed around 110-115lbs basically of pure muscle at 5’6in tall.
When I got to college I really didn’t gain much weight. Maybe around 5 pounds or so if that. Still a relatively small size in my opinion.
After I got into a very comfortable relationship and started the depo shot I gained maybe around 5-10lbs. We will say I weighed around 125-130 at 5’6in tall. I paid attention to my weight gain, but still really didn’t feel insecure unless I looked chunky in a photo.
Fast forward to now I am almost 2 years into the healthy relationship mentioned before, and an entire 4 months of not working later (thank you pandemic) and I am nearing 145lbs.
I feel absolutely disgusting. I know this is ridiculous. I know that is it possible to lose weight without going to extremes. But since I have been small my whole life and now cannot fit into anything I owned before the pandemic started I am going insane. I have basically stopped eating. I have started working out like crazy and I just feel awful 24/7 because I am not treating my body how I should.
I really would just like to know that other people have been in the same situation as me and would also like advice on how to get back down to my pre-quarantine size in a HEALTHY way.
ADDITION: some of the stories in this group make me so inspired but also feel like i am so dramatic. i just hope that everyone who reads this knows that my entire goal is to just be happy and healthy and not feel the need to starve myself to get where i was before
