I Struggle With My Body Image
I thought about posting pictures of myself on here. Pictures of me having my long, beautiful hair. But I knew that would only make me depressed since I don't have my long beautiful hair now. So I posted a picture of myself from 3 years ago, of my short hair.
I have to keep reminding myself that my hair does not define who I am. And that I am still beautiful. But I still get down and want to cry.
After I stopped breastfeeding, which was a few months ago, my hair started falling out. I hear that this can happen during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Also after I stopped breastfeeding, I lost a lot of weight. My breasts are smaller and so it the rest of my body. I also hear that it is only temporary.
I struggle with anorexia and have worked hard trying to reach my goal weight and get my hair to grow back long. It brings me down when I see others with long hair and healthy looking weight. Because all I keep thinking is that used to be my happiness.
I try so hard to tell myself that I am still beautiful, but that is so hard to believe. I know its only hair and it will grow back. But it gives me confidence. My breasts as well. I feel less like a woman now. I am trying everything to get my hair and weight back to normal. But it is so hard.
I hate that feeling like I have to start all over again. It sucks. How can I continue to think positive when all these changes going on with my body made me have low self esteem
