I've gained a lot of weight over the last few years, and I hate seeing pics of myself. My mom took some pics of me, my sister and my daughter on Sunday for Mother's Day while we were decorating a cAke and she posted it on facebook today. When I saw it while I was at work, I just wanted to cry. I'm so fat and ugly I don't know how anyone could find me attractive. I have a boyfriend who tells me all the time how beautiful I am but I don't believe him when he says it. I just don't know what to do

I know the feeling. I take such awful pics my kids don't even post me on their Facebook.

Hello,

Your appearance dosn't mean you are not a nice person.

I've experienced that before too, the feeling often comes and goes. When I discussed it with my therapist she told me to reinvent myself and embrace the me of today rather than focus on the me of yesterday. I tried it and slowly but surely I'm beginning to embrace where I am today regardless of the weight that I've gained.

I know bit it's still depressing when you hate how you look. When I see healthy fit people, all I can think of is how they must think I'm disgusting, lazy and fat.
