I’ve recently gained 10-15 pounds and am having a really hard time with my body image. I see myself in the mirror and am embarrassed. I went through my closet and can no longer fit into a lot of my clothes. I’m struggling with the idea of donating them or using them as motivation.

My male friend recently lost a ton of weight and looks fabulous and is able to fit into all of his old clothes. I know male bodies are different but I’m having a hard time coming to terms with where I’m at.

I’m 24/25 yo and can’t tell if this is just my body maturing or due to unhealthy habits. This pretty much aligns with my diet change from vegetarian to eating meat again.
