No self confidence destroying my marriage

I’ve suffered with low self confidence most of my life. I was overweight as a child and badly bullied, mainly by “friends” which has effected my ever since. I lost a shit loads of weight and gained confidence, but always struggled with being happy with myself. Fast forward a few years and I’m married with a child but I have a saggy mum tum and bingo wings a Ryanair jet would be proud of and I’m fed up.

I’m back to pre baby weight but I can’t see it. I just see a fat mess in my photos. I look unhappy and I look miserable. I don’t want my husband to come near me and truth be told I’m knackered by the time it’s bed time anyway.

He has said I’m effecting just confidence now and he doesn’t feel loved.

I feel shit. I can’t love myself but I feel worse trying to make him feel super happy when I can’t feel happy myself.

Any advice please?

I even managed to get back into my size 8 topshop jeans this morning and I know in myself it’s an acheivement but when I saw the photos my husband took of me and my baby today I just broke down and cried.

Speak to your GP, counselling might help, it might even be depression. While you’re waiting to be assessed exercise will help.
