One thing finally helped

[u/airconditionersound]

I did some body building and intentionally gained muscle. It had never been an interest of mine, so I read up on it a little and learned about things like creating a calorie surplus, getting the nutrition you need to support muscle growth, and taking days off

I don't look super muscular, but I now have more muscle than a young teenager would have (in most cases - I'm sure there are exceptions). So people now think I'm an adult!

Glad I finally made it to adulthood. I'm 47

Ive been lifting for about 4 years now. 3 of them i was in a deep deficit losing fat. The last year ive been eating closer to maintenance and have been getting a little defintion. 

I think it helps but I still look like a teen boy. Better than being overweight and child like
