I feel the exact same, most days I don’t even bother brushing my hair and getting ready I just hate looking myself. I went from a 6 to a 14 too, breastfeeding has took all the weight from my bum and nowhere else it’s horrible, my skin is bad, I just feel like an alien to the person I was.
I completely relate to both of you, specially about the hair, I used to take so much pride in myself and now I just don't get the time too, I used to think of myself as pretty and now I don't. I'm just dreading going out in a bikini this summer as I love to tan but don't want anyone to see my stomach. Specially the over hang. 😞
I was a 10 and now I don’t even know what size I am, I just wear baggy jumpers and leggings and constantly feel gross. Planned on eating healthily and exercising but I have zero motivation because I’m always tired and never have time. So instead I eat rubbish everyday! Vicious cycle but I’m sure we’ll get back to ourselves at some point. Xx
That is literally me! Always want to go gym and eat well but never have the time and am always so tired xx
I've read that it takes 9 months to grow a baby, you are left with a major abdominal wound and it can take over 9 months for your body to recover. Of course that doesn't make it any easier to look in a mirror. I lost weight in my 1st pregnancy and then lost alot after having him with some health issues but went from a 14 to a 10 and hated it because I didn't recognise myself. This time I've gone from a 12/14 to a 16 and again I'm not happy. It's been fine whilst cold because I can just wrap up in baggy jumpers but with summer coming I'm very conscious. My appetite is massive and I can't stop eating crap! My skin has changed, my hair has changed and my body is completely different but I'm enjoying my baby and hoping it'll come off at some point x
I feel the same I was a size 8-10 now I’m 12-14, I live in hoodies and leggings and I am dreading the summer as none of my clothes fit and I can’t wear the clothes I would Normally wear because they look awful 😭. You’re not alone it’s so so hard , I also thought I’d be back to my normal self by now x
I completely get how you both feel, it's just annoying as I genuinely used to think of myself as pretty. I compared photos of my body from January to now ans I have gained alot of wait I actually feel sick looking at myself now, I'm trying to loose weight but just never have the time. And my skin constantly braking out in spots where before I had my little lad I never used too have spots. Its just hard to get used to yourself, and my appetite is huge too so I'm trying to stop myself eating so much 🙃 which is easier said then done. Xxx
I'm feeling the same. I was a 12 before I got pregnant, 14 whilst pregnant, and now I'm 16-18. It's completely normal to feel that way! We still are chock full of hormones and still recovering!
