During my first year of college, I gained what felt like a lot of weight - going from 165 to nearly 195 lbs at 5’8 was not a fun time for me (eating and alcohol were unhealthy coping mechanisms). I’ve always studied life science-type subjects, so with a family history of diabetes and heart disease, I knew it would be better in the long run to be more active than I was. Luckily, over a span of ~3 years I’be brought my weight down to be 140-155 depending on the season/demands of school and work (never seems to change my clothes size too drastically though??), complete with face gains and muscle toning from biking.
Around Christmas and my birthday, I get really upset when my mom tries to buy me clothes. She’s been overweight my entire life, and is always buying me clothes that are one or two sizes to big, saying they fit “perfectly”. I know she means well and loves me, but I end up looking like I’m wearing a potato sack in the shapeless, loose clothes that end up in the donation pile.
I just wanted to get this off my chest and was wondering if anyone else has experienced similar issues!
