Battling Negative Self-Image issues

How many of you are going through that..? "I FEEL SO UNATTRACTIVE" moment or if you were on a booming weight loss journey and say " All of that hardwork for nothing!!!" If so, how do you boost your self esteem up? What nice things do you do for yourself to make you feel beautiful again...? Maternity clothes are expensive and I'm trying to get what I need to make me feel pretty...but it's like...I don't know. Between acne in full effect like a 24 year...or the massive bloating and overlapping.

I had lost 20lbs then got pregnant and gained almost 40. Lol. I only have a couple of weeks left. The weight loss wasn't for nothing because then I'd be 20 lbs heavier than I am now. Also, I know I can easily lose the weight when I'm ready. :)

I just suck it up and tell myself it's only temporary, and then I work with what I've got.

Some days I feel the same way I am 19 weeks and some days I just feel huge, and it doesn't help when people tell me I am just going to get bigger. I find maternity clothes at Old Navy aren't very expensive and they have a lot of cute spring dresses. Maternity clothes are more comfortable and make me feel more relaxed in my new body. Also I try to do my makeup and hair, which makes me feel a little more attractive. But you have to remember, you are pregnant, and you can do your best to maintain a healthy diet but you are going to gain weight no matter what. Try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy!

I go get a Mani pedi, and get my hair done. And also sometimes even when I'm not in the mood I make the first move for us to have sex, I've always been a fan of making sure that he knows I still want him which in turns is great for his self-esteem also
