I'm a 17 year old canadian girl who just recently started to gain weight - all my life i've been relatively skinny but it didn't matter what i ate or whether i exercised until now. It started to get really noticeable now, while i am in france living with a family here. I didnt really watch what i ate the first few months and now ive suddenly got fat where i never had it before, like my hips, thighs, tummy, even back and shoulders. It's really uncomfrotable feeling and i don't feel proud of my body anymore. I recently have started watcxhing what i eat more and trying to get out and do exercise but i am feeling trapped and like i will never get it off. Is it just that i'm maturing because i had my period when i was 12 and its never been regular, and ever since i arrived in france (september) i havent had it but i've been gaining weight and sometimes even my hair thins and falls out. I really want to know if i am just stressed, or if its hormones, or what i should do besides trying to eat less because it doesnt seem to be working.
i really just want my body back
