I was a size 6-8 until about a year ago, when I started Pole Fitness classes, as well as a few other classes at the same club, things like Body Pump.
I've eaten the same as always (clean!) but the exercising has given me a body that I hate and I'm so upset about it.
Basically my thighs and upper arms have beefed up, for want of a better expression. I can barely even get size 10 jeans over my thighs now, and my arms look like men's arms. My waist, and tummy look good I suppose but everything else is just horrible and I hate how I look!
I'm quite short at 5ft 4 inches and so in clothes I just look large and stocky.
Has anyone else found the same thing? I am stopping classes and going to just walk and do pilates in future and hopefully my muscles will shrink and I'll look ok again.
AIBU to be upset?

To be so upset that exercise has effectively ruined my figure?
