Struggling with weight gain

Hey ladies, I’ve been dancing for 10 years — and in that time frame, I’ve fluctuated in weight a few times. But this is the most I’ve ever weighed while dancing (or… ever, really? Besides my pregnancy).

And honestly, I’m struggling. I’m 5’5” and 165… when I feel my best around 135-140. Unfortunately, I have PMDD so I just started using the patch a few months ago. It really helps my quality of life… but I can’t seem to lose weight on it.

I feel in between a rock and a hard place. It feels like I can be either beautiful or happy, but not both.

I feel self conscious at work now and while dating. I’m used to being an hour glass, now I feel like I’m an apple.

How do you gain your confidence back when your body has changed SO much? Please helpppp.
