I've taken the bull by the horns and have essentially cut carbs for the last two weeks. I'm determined this time .
Any tips to fake it till I make it.... I feel toxic and stodgy and essentially unattractive and , in a relationship of a year , a bit self conscious. Thanks for reading . Any tips will help . Help me looking feel a bit better please

Give yourself a manicure and pedicure, style your hair nicely, sort outall areas of body hair you like to sort out. Those are my stand by feel better tips!

Taking time over skincare and wearing your go to day make up more than normal maybe as well?

As for clothes, wear the pieces that fit the best and flatter you the most, even if it means basically wearing the same outfits most days for a few weeks?

Oooh, I'm the same height and not far off the same weight, I've just lost a stone so I'm 13stone 4 at the moment. I've been doing my own nails with gel polish, trying to find a few bits in charity shops that make me feel good, doing face masks and taking care of my skin and hair. I'm still trying to lose weight but trying to feel good about myself too.
