Regaining self esteem?

I’m on a journey of regaining my self esteem back. Ever since I’ve been with me boyfriend of a year and a half , I’ve gained over 50 lbs. he’s the sweetest guy ever but I know he’d prefer me at my normal weight and vice versa. I’ve never let myself get this out of shape but somewhere down the line being with him I let myself go. Physically, other have rated me a 8.5-9 as far as looks. And I have a really nice personality. During the last year and a half I’ve been pregnant about 3 or 4 times and have gained weight between each one and had recurring early miscarriages. I’m tired of the cycle and ready to figure out a plan as far as birth control methods so that I can focus on weight loss , gym, finishing school, sticking with a job and my hormonal balance which has caused a lot of the rift in our relationship and I want to take care of all this and my own issues before we get married.

It’s gettin to the point where I’m making false assumptions and creating false evidence of my bf cheating or wanting other women and it’s all paranoid thoughts and I find myself overly sensitive day after day over nothing. The littlest things in life have been bothering me and I’m SICK OF IT! He’s a loyal man who works 60-70 hr weeks and comes home to me every night and treats me more than a girl could ask for.

Sick of being wrapped up in this victim mentality. I admit there is a comfort in us individuals with a victim mentality.

I’m just lookin for true support from women who genuinely want to help and not necessarily put me down here. I have no real friends since we’ve moved to a new state.

Thanks!

This is so me. I try so hard to to not get jealous of other pretty girls just at the mall and it’s so hard. Now if I see a pretty girl I’ll make some sly comment of how much he’d rather be with her than me, and I know it’s not true. I do t know how to get out of this mindset though 😫

Hey girlROME wasn’t built in a day and neither can you. I’m perfection takes time and even with that imperfections make perfections. It’s okay not to be okay. But it’s not okay to beat yourself up throughout it. Take your time please. Time rn is crucial. You have to be patient with yourself and find your joys in life and fall in love with yourself endlessly. Easier said than done but if you genuinely try will be worth the wait. I say do things that make you happy until you start to feel good again Become a part of a group, you need females around, whether it’s for sports, knitting, cooking fashion etc, just join one of your fancy Choose a day of the week to be your self care day and every time it falls on that day you do something you’ve always wanted to do or pamper yourself whether it’s just a pedicure or taking your self to the cinema, just do it Cook your favourite meals Plan your favourite anniversary or birthday Get a new hair cut or style Buy a new book to get lost into Join the gym Change your diet Learn a language You need to focus on yourself and be extra careful, what’s meant to be will be, it will fall into place effortlessly Sending you good vibes and can’t wait to hear the update of your self recovery and discovery xxxx ❤️🤞🏿
