Weight Gain


I’ve gained weight over the last year. I’m super self conscious about it. I’ve stopped going to the gym because I don’t feel that it’s safe, I’ve eaten way too much ice cream to comfort my anxiety and depression, and I’ve become pretty inactive when I’m usually quite the opposite. 

I hate this picture of my belly but it’s me. I have to accept that. I’m hoping that once winter has passed, I can find the emotional strength to get outside and be more active but until then, I’m working on accepting and loving myself the way I am and trying to be kind to myself for struggling during a very difficult time.

I’ve always been very honest and real even when it’s hard. The last year has brought so many challenges to my life but I’m still here. That is definitely something to celebrate.

  1. It is such hard times! Thank you for sharing this picture. I've gained quite a bit of weight this last year too for the same reasons as you. Times are tough and we are doing the best we can. Summer will help! I plan to get out for walks and spend time outdoors.

  2. Yes it definitely is and I think many of us have struggled to keep motivated to get up and out.

  3. You look absolutely stunning. All that comfort you've given yourself just shows how much you've been caring for yourself in what has been such a traumatic time. I am trying to do the same as you, be kind to my body, she is doing a grand job at keeping me going. So I understand this post deeply. Continue taking care of you, it's very important.
