Insecure about looks

[morag1234]

I have always been confident in the way I look. I was a size 6-8 pre-kids, had big boobs, was toned and fairly pretty:

I've had 2 children and put on 2 stone.

Posted too soon!!

I've had 2 children and I'm now a size 12. I know this shouldn't matter but I will never be comfortable at this size. I put on around 2 stone and can't get rid of it.

My boobs are saggy, my fat is all stored around my hips and waist. My stomach is no longer flat. I've started worrying about every aspect of my looks e.g size of my head (I've always had a tiny head), worried my teeth are yellow and wonky (have been told they're absolutely fine), my chin kind of melts in to my neck (always has done!!). None of these things have ever even crossed my mind before and now it's like I'm obsessed with finding all of the things that are wrong with me.

I don't know how to stop thinking this way?! Is anyone else like this?

Yes, everyday I'm like this. I hate looking in the mirror and seeing all the imperfections staring me in the face.

Yes, you will not be alone!

My teeth need a damn good clean, my hair is thinner and my stomach is a bit podgy!

Remember though that people will notice your smile and what you say, and any 'imperfections' are much more noticeable to you
