I know most women say they hate their body, but I legitimately have nothing good in my head about mine. I have a 1 y.o son, and I love him more than anything, but I was finally at the point in my life about 3 months before I found out I was pregnant where I was completely comfortable in my own skin.
now between work, and taking care of my son I don't find the motivation to do much about it, I try eating better, and exercising but my stomach still has a rouND discoloration and a ton of stretch marks from when I was pregnant, but I'd say it's second to my self consciousness about my breasts, I'm young and I feel like they're so unattractive, not that I'm trying to impress anyone but the skin is literally, I'm making no exaggeration, like when an elderly person pinches their hand and the skin doesn't go back down. They're so saggy and I wish I could get a lift, but I don't have the money. I've been trYing so hard the natural way and im not getting anywhere so it's making me really depressed. I've also had unsuccessful bunion surgery, my toes still cross and its been almost 3 months back to work and they still bother me physically and mentally I just get reminded how much I hate my body every day.

First, congratulations on the birth of your baby! And now to the less fun stuff! I felt I looked horrible after the birth of my son. Took me a long time to get somewhat comfortable in my own skin again. Now I am in my forties, and what can I say... gravity has set in! If you have a good attitude and a good personality, that is a lot more attractive than looking like a supermodel. I am a single woman, and I occationally date. And I have a sex-life as well. Strech-marks (I even have them on my thighs), muffin-belly, saggy breasts and all! After I left my husband I have been with three men, and they told me they found my strech-marks to be sweet, since it showed that I had made a baby! And that a couple of extra pounds here and there made me look more feminine. And as for my breasts, well I can honestly say that they are the most annoying part of my body. But never got any complains really. Realize that other people see something else than what I see when I look in the mirror and think I am just ugly! And the guys are right; stretch-marks are not ugly, they are beautiful reminders of the amazing thing your body did in making another human being! And as long as you can walk without pain, toes are toes. My breasts are saggy also, and I am not always comforable with taking off my bra. But it never seems to be a problem. Most people understand that we all have out little issues with our bodies. One thing however that helped me get more comfortable with my body, was finding pictures on the internet of full-size models. Gorgeous women, and dressed beautifully in clothes that fit their body-type. I realized that those girls knew how to work with the bods they had. Be proud of yourself, as a mother and a woman!

P.S. Get a nice bra! Go to a good place and have them fit you and measure you and find you a bra that will make your breasts look amazing. I did, and it was worth every penny! Instant body-image improvement!

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. I've been trying to be more proactive on being fit and healthy, I try to balance out having a full time job, my boyfriend having a job and raising our son without daycare and finding time to take care of myself, I just get really down on myself. I think my breasts are the part that I find most unattractive, I find good bras and everything but I can't help myself when I look down or take a shower, etc. To get self concious. But Ive been sticking to a pilates app that I found to feel better about myself. But thank you again, I just ant help but get depressed sometimes.

I was never comfortable in my own skin and I don't have any children. I used to workout when I was a student and stopped once I graduated college in 2010. I recently started working out the week of xmas last year and signed up to a late starting class last month and will continue to sign up for gym so I can stay on my plan that my instructor gave me. Once my body changes, I shouldn't have problems feeling comfortable in my own skin.
