I’ve started realizing how radically my body and my relationship to food has changed from my teen years to 23.

I put on about 20lbs slowly over two years and am learning to get used to it, I’m 5”8, 165lbs with a 25% BF last time I checked. I feel really healthy, love trying new foods out, and my skin also just cleared up as well which helps. But I still have this itch to tone down and work out like the collegiate athlete I used to be.

Not sure what to do to make myself more comfy now.

I put on some weight as well during covid. Similar height and weight. I did dance during college and pretty tone as well. What has helped me was accepting that I went up a size and buying clothes that fit. When I look in the mirror I feel good, and I feel comfortable moving around.

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine. Clean clothes are mixed in with dirty, her desk is a disaster, she won’t let go of clothes she’s outgrown, drawers are open with clothes hanging out. A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.
