I just don’t feel beautiful anymore

I’m 32 and I find myself feeling so unattractive. I barely look in mirrors anymore because I just see all my flaws. I pretend but it’s exhausting I feel so ugly.

I know this won’t help but I think you are sooo pretty!!! Being a mom does it to you and believe me I know exactly how you feel :/

🫂 You are beautiful 😍 I feel you so hard on this. Between needing PT after giving birth, PPD and PPA I've had a really hard time loving myself again. I've never been skinny but after having my daughter I gained a lot of weight. My hips refused to go back into place and exercising has been almost non existent till recently after lots of PT. One thing that my therapist has advised me to do that has actually helped is to smile at myself, say hello beautiful and give myself a high five every time I look in the mirror. It sounds 🤮 and it's totally not my style but I'll be damned if it doesn't actually work and give me a boost of confidence. 💖

You are so pretty.

Beatriz, you are beautiful! The feeling is mostly internal but try to do little things for yourself daily. There were times where I didn’t even brush my teeth or change because I was so exhausted and just so over it. Yes I love my child but it’s a change where you feel like you’ve lost yourself and for how long. But it does help to do small things for yourself like skincare or getting out of the house that helped me get out of my head—overall feeling of dread and sadness. You have nothing to worry about on what’s on the outside, you’re gorgeous, seriously! Just need to feel it internally by doing little things for yourself daily.

Thank you ladies 🩷 I’m going to be nicer to myself. God bless y’all

I feel the same

I'd say this is a normal feeling! Motherhood is draining sometimes. Hopefully you can get some well deserved me time and focus on your blessings

Girl do the following: book a day when you can have someone to help with your kids. Book a facial, massage or any pampering service of your choice. Take a bath or shower. Listen to affirmations or meditation playlist. Look at yourself in the mirror and look at the beautiful human being you are and realize all the things your body was able to do. You got this mama!

I looked at your pictures and you so pretty girl honestly it’s satan tell him shatap

Start today. Put things in your daily goals that will get to where you want physically and emotionally so this time next year you post would sound alot different and what you see in the mirror would also be a lot different. Whatever we wanna achieve as mums we have to carve time out for it, and put the work and effort in. Have goals to eat better, drink better, skincare, join a fitness class do some daily workouts, get new clothes to fit better or save old clothes for motivation…everyone’s motivation looks different so do what works for you. But you can get your attractiveness back, w some work on your part. Self care is non negotiable for me, it’s my sanity. And for me to get you a point where I’m happy w what I see in the mirror, took me a year or 2 but I eventually got there, and still working on myself daily, still pouring into myself and investing in myself daily. Your are beautiful though, from what I can see. But to get to a point where YOU will love yourself, will take work

Is there anything you like to do that makes you feel good? I hated myself for the past year after giving birth, and im slowly feeling better about myself. It only started when i finally saw results of losing weight and my c section actually fading and focusing on taking care of my hair because it got so bad during pregnancy and after. Seeing my hair look so good made me feel good. When i put on lash extensions…. Goodness it feels so good lol. It might not be much but it really helped bring my confident back. I think you’re really pretty, naturally too! So explore and find a style you like, try something new. Also theres no need to pretend. You can be honest to yourself, let yourself feel. It is one of the best self love/care you can do. If you really feel like you have flaws, ask yourself why you think that, let the thoughts flow to you and then think if its really that big of a deal. Forgive yourself and you’ll feel less harsh about yourself.

I recently started on a new weight loss and life style change. Its never to late to work on yourself. I think of it like customizing your character/avatar. You can do small things you enjoy, wear colors that flatter you or make you happy, get your hair or nails done and try to fall inlove with yourself again. You are still you! We all have flaws and you focus on your own more than anyone else because they are too busy focusing on their own flaws too

You are beautiful. Please don’t think otherwise. You are definitely not ugly. Beauty doesn’t always come in appearance. But I understand where you are coming from for sure. As a mom, we always put ourselves last so your feelings are 100% valid.

You are literally gorgeous !! And naturally pretty. Maybe a little pamper and self care would help or some clothes that make you feel good
