I was a gym girly for most of my life and when the pandemic hit my gym closed, I was hiding out from an abusive ex-partner so didn’t feel safe to workout outdoors and was just healing. I gained weight despite many attempts to workout in my thin floored apartment. Once my gym opened again I tackled it, built my strength back up, lost weight, but my chest is being so stubborn and I hate it. Large chests run in my family and I was able to avoid it for all those years. Now I look like this. They make me look fat when I am not (you can see my collarbone). Like wtf?

It’s embarrassing. I do not like the way my clothes fit. I do not like the kind of men I attract and hate that it seems to put me in a certain category of woman.

Any other ladies experience this and overcome it? It’s been 2 years of getting fitter/slimmer everywhere else but these buddies only budge slightly then ricochet back up. I am currently very stressed as well so I suspect it’s related.

Please please share your experiences/stories/how you’ve managed to overcome it. Thank you!
