I hate the way I look!

I am 18 months postpartum and the problem is I hate the way I look now and feel my looks have totally changed. My face looks so wide now, and looks almost masculine and nowhere near as pretty as I used to be. And I feel that no matter what I wear, I just look frumpy and awful. My boobs are bigger than they used to be, and they just make me look fat and mumsy too!

Nothing I wear or no matter how much I do my hair and make up now, I just look awful, and very very frumpy. I get so upset as I see women all the time that are loads older than me, and they still look very young and glamorous. I love fashion, clothes, make up and having nice hair but everything just looks wrong. I tried to do an up-do but it just looks like I've been swimming or to the gym and have my hair scraped back. I did a big bun in my hair and it looked awful. I try to straighten my hair and it goes all static.

Most people with long hair find it just falls nicely and looks flattering. My hair makes me look very wide.

I hate looking in the mirror and I just don't know what to do anymore!
