Hi! As a gymnast myself I've always struggled with my body image.
I feel larger than all my teammates, and first realized when I watched back a video of my at practice. Since then, I've gone through cuts to lose weight but gained it back after a stressful few weeks. I know I should focus on fueling my body, to get better (which is my main goal), but I can't help but see everyone else in the gym and know that I'm the heaviest there. I'm not fat fat (5'6 and around 150 lbs) but I'm definitely not like any other gymnasts in my gym :/
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this or advice on what to do?
