Heya hon xxx I have to second what other people have said about both weights and kickboxing. I think feeling strong and powerful in yourself leads directly to feeling better about your body. Learning to punch properly is probably one of the best things I ever did, not so much in terms of self defense or self confidence but because the core punches and kicks you learn are extremely powerful ways to use your body and you can feel that you just did a powerful thing. Which feels good - like you are instantly more connected and inhabiting your body.
You can usually pick up a set of free weights on gumtree and I know a lot of people use kettlebells which aren't too expensive. There are videos and guides online to show you good technique but there are probably also lots of people who'd actively be keen to do some hanging out with weights together. Like, I can't remember where you guys are based, and I'd be a bit concerned that my technique is awful and I shouldn't be teaching people and I don't know jack anyway, but I'd be happy to do some hanging around with heavy metal.
On clothes and stuff I am awful, but I guess one thing I find is that colours and images that I like make me happy even if I'm not sure if they suit me. I have a yellow cordroy shirt that I found in Oxfam that looks a lot like I mugged a 12 year old, but it makes me happy when wearing it because I think of sunshine.
You should definitely come help me do weights. I have been watching stuff on youtube but it is sometimes tricky to get the hang of it from that. Also I am gonna try the colours thing, because yes being happy is wicked, and I think I can overthink what suits me and doesn't.
