How Do You Cope with Body Changes in Your Mid-20s?

Like many other high schoolers I lacked a lot of confidence when it came to my body. I was incredibly skinny only weighing about 100 pounds and felt like every article of clothing was swallowing me. I never felt confident in my clothes and tried to keep to myself as a result. I would often hear comments from kids at school, coaches and my family that I should eat more and that I was too thin and weak. Because of this, I envied the women with curvy bodies and tried eating more to gain weight but it didn’t really help. After college, I became very interested in pilates and exercising became a part of my daily routine. I loved it so much that I became certified in teaching pilates and I can see that my body is now toned the way I wanted. But I also just hit my mid 20s (26 to be exact) and I had a hard time accepting the body that no longer was considered “too skinny” by society. <a href="https://sufficientlyblack.medium.com/how-do-you-cope-with-body-changes-in-your-mid-20s-8ab7bf02453e">Visit Now</a>
