Do you eventually start feeling pretty again?
I can’t. I’ve lost all my confidence in my appearance since I had my baby 19 months ago. I used to be in the healthy weight range, you could even say maybe reaching underweight, now I’m overweight, stretch marks, thinning hair, saggy boobs, you all know it. I mourn my pre-pregnancy body so much, i don’t have time to do my makeup or hair or even shower Soemtimes so I’m always in baggy clothing and greasy hair. I see pictures of my old self and I just want to cry, I’ll never look that pretty again. Yes I know this feeling is normal after having children. But does it ever get better?? Or does this insecurity go away? I’m trying to lose weight now but will this be enough? I don’t want to feel gross anymore. Is there a chance I could feel pretty again someday or will my prime always be pre-pregnancy.
