I hate myself..

I had a baby 6 months ago and I already have a 4 year old. Lately my self-esteem is so low, I literally hate myself. I look in the mirror and just want to cry, so I look away. I'm so worried that my Fiance is going to loose interest in me, I've piled on weight since we met, I wash my hair 2 times a week, I feel horrible in my clothes so I just don't know what to wear anymore. I just feel UGLY!
Does anybody else feel like this? What do you do to solve this? I just want to love myself again...

Go easy on yourself OP, you only had a baby six months ago! That's really not very long. Your body is strong and has produced two healthy children. That's something to celebrate. You might feel better if you do some goal setting. I lost a stone in baby weight just by doing a brisk walk for 30 mins a day after DD1. You could do something with the children if getting time out is difficult. Or a DVD if it's too cold outside. It would also give you a much needed endorphin boost. How about setting yourself a target of washing your hair three or four times a week and doing something nice for you when you achieve it? Doesn't have to cost very much. (I treat myself with a Netflix rom com.) It all seems overwhelming right now, but breaking down what you want to achieve can really help. Do you have good support? Do you think this could be PND? Help is out there.
