I use to weigh around 115-120, & started lifting weights a few year ago to get more of a toned look. But I ended up gaining weight. This could've been for a lot of other reasons, yet I've been trying to lose weight, & it seems like the more I work out, the more weight I gain! Or, my body just won't budge past 130 unless I am literally starving. I'm 5'5 and range from 136-140 (without starving). I have a 36C bust, 26 waist, & 38 butt measurement. And I wear a size 27-28 jeans. I work out a lot. But I do a lot of cardio & haven't done weights for a few months now. Is this weight really due to muscle? Because I've been reading that muscle weighs the same as fat, yet others say muscle weighs more than fat. It's frustrating because I feel like I weigh so much that I must be fat! I look at other models or celebrities weight/measurements & I feel I have to weight 110-120 at my height to compare. I've been beating myself up about this for months now & keep thinking I must be huge or something. It has also kept me from work. Should I just give up on the weight scale & stick with measurements?
I've also wanted to start doing some modeling, glamour/swim/men's magazine type, & wanted to know if I am too big for this as well? I know people say to be confident, & there are curvier models out there, but I feel like I can't go into work or purse any of my dreams because I am just too big.
