@ss3mom, yea i do that occasionally for myself and i do feel better just the workout and eating healthy is what i struggle with.

@sboolay, haha wow love this comment! 😊

Yes I think it’s hard not to have a change in self esteem after giving birth. All the changes put bodies do through do a number on us. What I found helps is to do something for myself. If it’s getting my hair done or getting a mani/pedi occasionally helps a lot

Yes. It’s totally normal. I struggled with not liking myself for a good 3 years after my youngest daughter. After a while, I said enough is enough. I started working out, eating healthy and felt a bit better about my body. But I still had stretch marks and extra skin on my stomach that made me feel bad. Specially during summer when we vacationed and there was all these older women with perfect bikini body’s. So I went and got a tummy tuck and threw in a boob job. No regrets.

Yes

Honestly I had problems with self esteem before children but having them and all the body changes have only made it worse.

You're not alone! My self confidence has gone out the window since baby. I'm fighting raccoon eyes with makeup, dead mom hair in bun, and postpartum body. And the sleep deprivation on top of it as icing on the feeling like crap cake. So yeah, definitely taking a hit on the old self confidence for sure!

@rndmshtt, that s exactly how i feel too lol how crazy we feel the same things.

@kiki221, Such a sad truth. But, i always think of it this way, if i try and “ fix “ something im just going to find another issue i’ll obsess about 😖 its like a never ending cycle 😅

i suppose thats where the hair and makeup comes in. it is a temporary fix that boosts self confidence.

110% yes ma'am

@rndmshtt, omg that's how i feel some days. Like I consider doing all that yet I'm scared of not liking it at the end either 😭😭

My body changing definitely did a bit of damage to my self esteem. After giving birth, i went crazy with lash extentions, shopping, got my hair done. 7 months later after spending a couple thousand on just materialistic things i had started to realize that all of this was because of how i felt so insecure about myself. I had started to consider plastic surgery, laser treatments, looked into botox and fillers😭 I stopped everything and am now learning to accept the new body, that had brought my beautiful daughter into the world.

Omg yes!!!!! 😞

I started eating less but in a healthy way, cause I have a problem with binge eating a lot. And I went walking around my yard everyday for about 30 minutes. Also I got new clothes and new makeup, things I would’ve done before being a mom. Cause you can’t forget to treat yourself. 😊💕

Mostly because of my body. I lost 12lbs and felt better, but after this baby i want to get more into shape , and lost like 20+ pounds and be really skinny like I used to

Lmao YES!!!

@alyssa99, what are some things you did?

@kiki221, I totally felt like that for almost a year. I felt disconnected to my body because I didn’t recognize it. But trying really hard to get in shape & love myself really helped.

@alyssa99, omg Ive been feeling so low lately, feels like idk who I am 😭

For sure.
