Been trying to gain weight, now that I have I feel too bulky, need advise please

[seyz]

Here's my situation. I was 130 lbs and struggling to keep weight on in the summer. I was very thin and really wanted to gain 15-20 lbs. Since August(when I've been back at school), I haven't been doing cardio as much, I haven't been eating as healthy, and I haven't been going to gym as much. Nevertheless I am at about 144 right now and ideally I wanted to be like 147, then cut back down. However, I have never weighed this much in my life and I feel too bulky.

I am torn on whether I should start cutting back down right now or wait until I gain a few more pounds and then go back down. I feel really bulky and can see the difference in the weight I have gained. I only run once a week now and I do boxing training once a week also. I hit the wieghts one to two times depending on my schedule.

Is this bulky feel normal when you're trying to gain weight or am I doing something wrong? Should I start cutting back down now?

Thanks

Seyz

The only problem I see with this is that because you haven't been eating healthy, and you're only hitting the weights once or twice a week, a lot of the weight you've gained is probably fat. When you do cut, you're going to go back to how you were before.

I been eating healthy just not AS healthy. I had a really good diet. When I mean not eating healthy I mean that I am like having mayonase as opposed to low far italian or I am having cereal instead of fruit for a snack.
