I can't come to terms with my post-baby body. It's been two years and nothing has got better. Not only have all the individual parts of my body sagged and lost volume (especially my boobs, which you could literally roll up there's so little volume) but my tummy seems to start from just below them now rather than lower down. My silhouette is now matronly and definitely middle-aged. My figure was always flattered by a tight fitting top half but I can't do that now for rolls of flab that won't tone up or go away. Nothing suits me. My partner stopped wanting to have sex with me pretty much as soon as I was pregnant and has now left and I'm terrified of showing the disgusting blob that I now am to anyone. I can't imagine enjoying sex because I'll be so self-conscious, and I can't imagine anyone being turned on by me. Plus I definitely feel "looser" down there, and it feels gross. I know my body gave me my son, but that doesn't alter the fact I feel totally alien to myself and repulsed by the look and feel of my body. I feel hopeless about it. Any ideas?
