Hey all! I'm sure there have been lots of posts about this, but I've gained 15 lbs since the beginning of the COVID lockdown since March. I've always struggled with body image issues after growing up as an overweight kid. Before COVID, I felt like I finally had a positive body image; I had joined a kickboxing gym about 9 months earlier and saw myself get leaner while not losing weight, which was great! For the first time, I didn't worry about what I would wear the next day, because I felt comfortable and confident in everything I had. It was MAGICAL. But unfortunately, it was short-lived. I know 15 lbs isn't A LOT, but on my small frame I am definitely noticing clothes that barely do up, and it's really getting me down. Is anyone else finding it super difficult to find the motivation to stay active while stuck at home? Also, having moved back in with my parents, I'm eating a lot more snack foods that I didn't buy when I lived alone due to budget. I just don't have the willpower and when I get bored, I eat. Sorry for the long post, I guess I'm just hoping there are some kindred spirits out there for support or some friends who have been through this and have found something that worked. I just want to feel confident again!
