The Quarantine 15 got me

I’ve seen a lot of people saying they gained weight since COVID. I’ve decided to dub it the quarantine 15.

To start off, I know I’ve gained more than 15lbs since March. I used to be a size 8. The smallest I’ve been in my whole life. I used to weigh almost 250lbs! I got on track, started eating less and more healthy. I added gym to my college curriculum! I hated gym all through high school! I was signing up for swim classes, yoga, HIIT workouts. Anything and everything I could get my hands on. My endurance was getting really good. I could run a whole lap without slowing down. I could actually breathe after working out without feeling like I’m going to pass out! I could go into any store and grab a medium in whatever item of clothes I wanted and it would fit. I got rid of all my clothes.

I took all of it for granted b/c my loose skin, and how saggy everything was. I hated looking at myself naked but LOVED looking at myself in all the cute clothes I could fit into and the styles I though I could never pull off before. Overall I felt like this gross loose skin blob. If you’ve ever seen the picture of the university that invented how the human body had to look to survive a car crash that’s what I felt like I looked like.

Now nothing fits. I had to spend over $100 getting new clothes that would fit, and it’s all cheap Walmart stretchy clothes. I don’t wanna get anything nice b/c I don’t want to have to throw it away later.

I’m now a size 16 yet again and I’m loosing hope anything will change. What’s the point if I’m most likely going to gain weight back either through getting older, having kids and just doing more with my life ?
