Struggling with body confidence!

Really struggling with body confidence. I am a stone and a half bigger than what I want to be. I hate looking at myself in the mirror. Every time I see pictures of myself I want to be sick. My body confidence is at an all time low. I have never felt this way about myself. I am starting to do something about it and exercising when I can, so I know it will come off eventually. I guess I am coming on here for some encouraging words as my weight and body image is getting me down. I am 10 months PP for the record.

I felt this post!!!!! I am currently 10 months postpartum as well. And I am the heaviest I’ve ever been. I also got hashimotos disease after giving birth so the medication I am in isn’t helping with my weight loss. I am also a single mom so I am burnt out and stressed all of the time. I pray that we both get through this and we’re back to ourselves. If you’d ever wanna vent/ talk you can always message me. 🫶🏼

I feel both of you! Also a single mom, thought the weight would come off from breast feeding. I was wrong
I feel so depressed about my looks I feel no man will ever look in my direction again . My friend took a photo of me in the pool with my son. Photos are ruined for sure and it was his first time in a pool 🥺
Was a big awakening for how big I really am and now I’m trying to diet, eat less and workout.

We should be weight loss buddies to keep each other in check

My word to any new mum and something I wish I’d told myself - time. I gained 3 stone 4. 13 month PP I’ve lost 3 stone 5, 22kg. It just takes time.
My body is different now tho - but the weight is gone.
