Thanks redhead- that was very nice of you to say that.

I love to help people and one thing I am good at is shoving my emotional problems as far down as I can. I tried telling some of my friends here but they really don't believe me when I say I have low self esteem, since I'm pretty happy all the time and willing to lend a hand.

I'm an odd one I know. The "fat" part can always be fixed with a healthy eating and exercising. It's the emotional crud that I don't know how to "fix".

Hi, mudweiser and mommyoftwins200!

I do have an activity that either or both of you might want to consider trying with me on this site that might help you with your self-esteem.

If a person can feel good about themselves in accomplishing something that's enjoyable, the results of the feeling of accomplishment and thus building of self-esteem and self-worth can often carry over into how they work on other issues that they might be having in their life.

Please let me know if either of you are interested. Also, please do keep information on the threads so that others with similar questions can benefit by the information that's shared.

Thanks!

I am also interested in this! I am starting to rebuild my foundation, slowly but surely! I have had self-esteem issues for many years stemming from abuse in my past. Also, all of these issues of mine in the last year have surfaced and I am really trying to change, learn and grow.

After the birth of my last child I tipped the scales at 17 stone,I don't know what that is in pounds.my breasts took on a life of there own,they were like wild buffalo trying to escape,my thighs had a constant rash.I was in hell!
I started going for a short walk every day,and stopped finishing the kids meals,I was like a dumpster.
It took 2 years but I got to my target weight of ten stone.
I really had to work hard at changing my mind set.
Sometimes I go overboard,I love heavy meals,the type that stick to your ribs.but I try and stay active and eat healthy.
You can lose weight.
You will lose weight.
You know when you hear someone speck and you form a mental image of what that person looks like,I envisioned you as a kind of a yummy mummy.you have a great sense of humour.
Change the image in your head to one of a sexy,funny,smart confident women.because that's what comes across on screen.
