Need Advice!

Hi everyone! I’m in need of some advice on feeling more self confidence! I have gained 40 lbs in the last year and a half and I’m feeling super down about it. I’ve been exercising regularly and trying to eat better but can’t seem to knock off the weight. I’m feeling discouraged. The weight was so easy to gain and SO hard to lose.

My current weight is at 145-150 lbs and I used to be 110-115 lbs. How do you gain confidence when you are uncomfortable in your own skin?
