Weight - don’t know if I just have a warped view

[Rosegoldnights]

This is not a stealth boast before anyone says anything! Despite trying to eat healthier the last month or so and getting back to the gym recently now it’s re-opened, I seem to be ‘stuck’ at about 58.5kg. I’m 5’6. Early 30s.

Right up until lockdown really I was always about 55kg so really I’ve put on about 3.5kg in the last few months which although I know doesn’t mean I’m overweight, is still quite a lot for me.

I’m not sure what I’m asking really but I just don’t feel happy with this weight and how I look but friends and family are telling me I don’t look like I’ve put on weight (and some of them would definitely be honest including DH) but I have!!

Without sparking off a competitive weight thread, does anyone have roughly the same weight/height as me and do you feel slim? Or if not, if you feel slim/good, what weight/height are you?

BMI is 20.7 which is healthy but I just can’t shake the want to be thinner

If you can tackle the upsetting upsets of lockdown then it's possible the weight worries will sort themselves. Easier said than done, but not impossible. Weight could just be a comfortable distraction from the bigger problem you don't know how to fix. Try anything at all, however small, to make lockdown/current weirdness/"new normal" seem even a tiny bit more bearable. Sometimes just little efforts can reduce a big problem, so it's worth trying even the very littlest things. Try the easiest things first. Good luck.

Thank you
