    I have always exercised but gaining weight and lifting weights increased my bone mass at an age that it is supposed to be impossible to do that. I would rather be skinny, looks-wise, it was my identity and now I am so fucking medium sized but feel better, sleep better, and presumably will hold up better.

    So, oddly enough, eating regularly and doing heavier exercise.

      I have also put on a little more weight and lift weights consistently. I would say that its mainly do to having a home gym and not having cardio equipment at the moment. I have been more lean in the past, but I was thinking about how I feel good right now with a little more weight. I think I’m at a better natural weight for my body. While I might like when I am more lean, I am still strong with all the weight lifting, and I’m not putting the same stress on my joints from running. Feels good
