Blahhh I feel like pure crap

brownhairedmom · Aug 6th, 2008, 10:29 AM

I feel like absolute crap today. I feel like every single day I look at myself I have a new stretchmark and there is absolutely nothing I can do (I've already tried EVERY single product on the market. It takes up 1/4 of my day just using lotions). I feel massive. Before I was pregnant I used to work out and I was fairly proud of how I looked. Now all my muscle is turning into fat and I feel like a blimp. I'm so exhausted all the time. My face/chest is broken out horrible. My hair looks like crap and its somehow like...stopped growing or something. I'm pale as hell and can't go into tanning beds now. My makeup won't even go on right.

I can't concentrate on anything whatsoever. I have so many papers and exams coming up in the next week and I haven't gotten anything done. I feel absolutely useless.

Ughhh horomones I suppose, but its still driving me insane. Anyone else having a difficult time with all the physical changes?

Hey, stop being so hard on yourself! Am sure you look just fine hun. Why don't you give yourself a treat this weekend, a spray tan or massage. Sure it will make you feel loads better.

Hi, I'm feeling exactly the same, every day when I wake up more spots have appeared and no amount of makeup does the trick I end up looking worse! My hair looks lank and just basically look a mess! So much for the 'glowing phase' its skipped straight past me lol!

I too have exams and assignments coming up that I had to defer until August but have completely lost my concentration span, keep getting my books out but its as far as I get!

Rant over!

Sorry too hear you're feeling crappy hun.

Hope you feel better soon hun, ive been using stretch mark cream but it hasn't done any good as my belly looks like an AA roadmap!

You should treat yourself and think to yourself that it will all be worth it in the end when your holding baby in your arms!

Take a deep cleansing breath.... ahhhh.. Now- get your pretty little self to the salon and get yourself a pedi and a mani- they always make Me feel better! Slap some dove energy glow on, stand yourself in front of the mirror, smile and repeat after me:

"I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!"

*hugs*

Treat yourself and remember this amazing gift you are being given after all of this heart ache. 107 days from today all of this will be a distant memory and you will be holding your little angel!

You are beautiful.
