Where have I gone?

[ElmtreeMama]

Urgh, prompted by catching sight of myself in a mirror whilst out and about and also by seeing a photo of myself from 5 years ago!...
I genuinely don't recognise myself.

I'm 35, very overweight with crap hair and no style- live in leggings and t shirts in various shades of black, when the photo was taken I was 29 slightly overweight with fabulous hair and skin and my own sense of style.

Big changes including getting married, having a baby (she's nearly 1), a decline in chronic health conditions which greatly affect my mobility, not working as being a sahm and gaining 5 stone.

I dont know where to start in getting to a place of at least recognising myself and not doing a literal double take when I see myself!! :(

Oh and not much spare cash!

You've already made a start by acknowledging how you feel. Can you have your hair done, that'll make you feel better straight away. You can make some small changes and then think about your weight when you are feeling more positive about yourself

Thanks @Mollyplop999 mind-set is probably the biggest part of it!
You're right, I should try some small changes to see if they help
