Feeling ugly

Anyone else feeling ugly since becoming a mom? I feel like I never have time to even take a nice long shower and just get ready. I used to do my eyebrows once a week, cut my nails , straighten my hair and actually shaved most of my body. Now I’m so exhausted to take a shower, even when my husband offers to take care of the kids (only possible in the weekend). Then I feel guilty for leaving him with them and want to go back and play with them 😅 so Im just in the same 3 pijamas and pony tail all week long. How do you try to take care of yourself? ☺️

Following ** I still haven’t figured it out.

It comes with time, or at least it did with me

Struggling with this right now. I used to do my makeup and hair and skincare every day and now I’m lucky if I can do anything because I’m always chasing around my toddler. I recently started making sure I at least always did my skincare but it isn’t without a ton of stress. I haven’t gotten a pedicure in almost 2 years and my feet need it.

I'm in the new born phase and I can't remember the last time I put hand cream on. Sounds crazy but it really is the little things.

My daughter is 8 and I still feel like this..i hate my body,I never have any time time to do anything for.myskef...i mean shaving.you get the picture...I ve got no chance with men

I miss so much doing exercise, I don't even have time for a walk

Omg yes. I finally did my hair and threw on some cluster lashes and felt really pretty.

For me it's a financial side - with no income from my side I just need to cut on me :(

Some days I feel pretty good, but then I'll take a picture with my daughter and remember I am, in fact, so old now. 🤣

Omg so relatable. I’m still in the nb phase but I miss the girl that would get up and do her hair and makeup just to take pictures, or go to the gym to keep up her physique. Or even take herself out and buy nice things just because she liked it. Don’t get me wrong I love being a mother but I just miss me sometimes. No one ever tells you how you may grieve the woman you used to be because you’re coming into a whole new world and that you may not ever see her again. That’s been the hardest part of it all for me. I can’t even tell yall the last time I felt pretty enough to take a picture

Force it. Wake up earlier if you need to for your husband to watch kids before work… my husband and I talked it out and realized the best time for me to get ready to feel better and start my day is to wake up earlier to get ready before he goes to work. It’s truly worked the best for the both of us! It really is the little things that help with not feeling this way. Trust me I totally get it…. You got this!!!
