I’ve been WFH since March and am starting to feel I’ve let myself go. Haven’t worn my nice work clothes all year, not bothered with make up etc. I had my hair highlighted in the summer which looked nice but now it is straw like and straggly. I never spend the time drying or styling it properly, My ghd’s feel like they’re dragging when I try and use them - is this because hair is dry?
It’s been a difficult year in a number of ways, (as it has been for everyone) and I feel like I literally just get through each day one at a time. I have struggled with anxiety, I’ve been comfort eating which has lead to me putting on a little weight. I was walking loads in lockdown but since school went back I haven’t done any exercise and I feel unfit & slobbish. My back hurts from working at home & not moving enough. I feel so stiff & unfit and yet can’t find the motivation to do anything about it.
My nails are shockingly bad. I’ve bitten them terribly due to anxiety. I can’t seem to stop but it looks dreadful.
My diet needs improving, I need to eat more fruit. I’ve become lazy at planning healthy snacks and have gone for the convenience options.
I live in leggings and tshirts, which are comfortable but I feel slobbish. I would like some clothes to wear at home that make me feel nice but I have no idea what to wear. I’m 5’3” size 12, was a pear shape but feel my waist is slowly disappearing!
I realise this sounds like a big long moan but I’ve come to ask if anyone has felt the same way during this strange year and have you managed to improve things? It just feels like groundhog day every day to me and I want to make changes to feel better about myself but don’t know where to start. There is a long winter ahead with no sign of returning to the office anytime soon so I feel I need to start looking after myself a bit better for my state of mind. Thanks for any advice/tips.
