Body conscious

So since having both my boys I’ve put on nearly 2 stone, I’ve gone from being a size 8/10 to a 14/16. I’ve become so self aware of my body and hate how it looks, to the point that I don’t know what to wear and everything I try I hate on myself and I don’t like to get intimate with my partner because of how I look. Photos are a massive no go and I’ve taken myself off of social media because I find myself comparing alllll the time. I know I should be kinder to myself after the amazing things my body has done but it just can’t be helped. On top of that yesterday my own Mum made a couple of comments saying “yeah you should keep your hair a bit longer to hide your chin where you’ve put on weight” and then later on she said “you should think about losing some weight before you regret it and get too big” oh and how she never put on weight and bounced back really quickly after having me and my siblings 👍🏼🥴 I already feel so self conscious so it did get my back up abit. I had a baby 8 months ago, and my oldest is only 3, yes I don’t eat the best at times and could probably do more exercise but I’m constantly burnt out. I’m exhausted and by the end of the day all I want to do is sit on my fat arse with some comfort food and watch TV and my own time!

But apart from that give yourself some grace hun, you’re doing amazing with a 3yo & 8 month old! It’s so hard for us mums to get some time for ourselves, social media doesn’t help with all these “snapback” influencers Is there anything you used to do exercise wise? I know for me Im trying to get the gym back into my routine because I miss it
