Q: I feel so fat and ugly

I have between 20-15 lbs left to get to my ideal weight again. I still have to wear some of my maternity pants, and sweatspants. i am a size 3-5 normally, and I can't get any of my pants up past my thighs yet.
My baby will be 5 weeks on Wed. And I thought I would be making better progress than this.
I have a little bit of love handles going on too. I can't stand this.

Every time I wash my hair I get fists fulls coming out. I will be bald soon if this keeps up. I look in the mirror, and I see this pasty white, mousy-colored caca hair ugly beotch looking back.

I am so damn pale, and I can't tan....(I don't tan) I could go 50 times and still look like Casper. aarrghh...

God, i hate myself today.

Oh that is a terrible feeling, isn't it? You deserve to have your body back to yourself after those long pregnancy months!

The first thing to do is chuck those maternity pants pronto! Get yourself something you feel comfortable and cute in. Even if it is a size or two bigger than what you normally wear. No sense in sitting around in maternity pants that are obviously too big for you and remind you of heavier days!

Be gentle on yourself too. It took 9 months to gain that weight. Its gonna take awhile to lose it. 5 weeks is not that long!

I know 5 weeks ins't long...but i don't want to wait. I HAVE to back to normal by summer!!!

I think i will go out and buy some pants, rather than keep wearing maternity.
thanks

Embrace your pale skin! There is beauty in being pale! Look at Nicole Kidman, Dita von Teese etc- who says you have to be perma-tanned?

Be gentle with yourself! You can't even start to exercise yet. Those pounds will drop off!
