I am a 26 year old female, about 5’2 and currently 145 pounds. A year and a half ago, I got out of a really unhealthy relationship. It was unhealthy emotionally but also physically. He was a big guy and I gained 25-30 pounds with him. When we broke up, I moved across the country, started getting in shape and lost almost all the weight. I was still 7-10 pounds from my goal weight but I could run for 3 miles, and I was feeling good. Queue Covid, and I gain a lot back. I live in the desert so exercising outside hasn’t really been an option since April. My gym opened again and I’m going consistently, but not the 5 or 6 days a week I used to go. I feel so discouraged and filled with self loathing. I think a lot of what I’m feeling is tied up with how I felt in my unhappy relationship when I was this size. I feel like the weight is more than just pounds but like my ex still has power over me. I also feel frustrated that I’m basically back to square one, and that my 9 months of hard work were erased with a few months of snacking. I’m back on board I hope, but there’s a lot more feelings than I’d like.
