Hello! I have always been on the bigger size even as a kid and have always struggled with body image. Grew up in a very body negative household and it just kinda stuck with me. I went through a time where I developed an ED kinda on accident while going through extreme exercise and STILL did not like how I looked. I was the smallest I had ever been and I still wasn’t happy. I would run miles every day but it was never good enough. Anyway after I graduated I went through a very stressful time juggling work, school and the stress of my addict boyfriend and put on 30 pounds in the span of a month and slowly kept gaining even though I was exercising. I later got diagnosed with PCOS and started taking better care of myself but just cannot lose weight. I feel so self conscious all the time and like a failure cause I can’t lose weight. I do like my face and features, but I cannot gain the body confidence. I’m about 245 and have been for like 3 years, am 5’4 and have an apron belly. It’s crazy because I see women my size or bigger and think they’re so beautiful but can’t convince myself that I am. And I know 1000% it’s about how you present yourself and confidence but idk how to get there. Anyone have any advice
