Went to a bachelorette party for a friend out of town. Of course this is SoCal so they are all perfect looking. Skinny and/or fake boobs, fillers, botox, etc and I have my chubby postpartum body. Some of my pics are so unflattering I really wish I didnt go. I dont do social media but every other girl here does and sure enough they posted my pics on there and I look terrible. Ive been trying to be kind with myself and have been slowly losing weight but now Im spiraling and wish I didnt go. I dont really take pics of myself so I didnt realize just how bad I look until now and it feels bad.

We are our own worst critics. I'm sure you don't look anywhere near as bad as you think you do. Especially if your only comparisons are plastic barbie doll figures. Just keep working towards your goals and don't feel bad about where you are now.

No theyre pretty bad. My husband found me crying and tried to reassure me but when I showed him the pictures he even questioned if they purposely picked bad ones of me. I dont think they did I think though.

Before this I was insecure but accepting of my body and working on things. Its slow going but I dropped 10 lbs since December. I have 10 more to go before my goal weight. But now I feel really terrible because all of our mutual friends and acquaintances have liked these pictures and seen them.

I wish I could say I get where you come from as I continue to struggle with my own looks but the fact of the matter is being a woman in such an environment and having had a kid recently is basically Dante Must Die mode in comparison.

Stay the course on your road to happiness. You're worth your own self esteem.

Also no matter what I'll never stop seeing you as gorgeous.

My bestie had a picture like that taken from ig and it's now used in a bunch of list articles as a reaction face. She hates it.

So I guess it could be worse. Or I've now put the fear of the internet into you. Oops

What do you think it means that people are leaving likes on the photos?

Im sorry youre going through this Cleo, body image issues are so devastating, and it breaks my heart to hear you expressing regret over a getaway that was supposed to just be a fun time with the girls, and a getaway that you definitely deserved to be able to take without having to stress about anything like this.

Dont let the discouragement you feel over this get in the way of your goal, I know those last 10 pounds are gonna be the hardest, and probably take the most time as well, but be easy on yourself cuz youve been through a lot. I know youre feeling really low now, but this is just a hiccup, youre a strong and capable enough woman to make sure this is only temporary. I believe in you!

If you are only 10 pounds above your goal weight, you can't possibly be that "chubby". I feel you are being hard on yourself. But I get it, as I can be that way about my appearance.

I know this sounds hard atm but you can and will get through this. Even if it is getting seen now they won't remember it with time. Don't let it distract you from your journey.

I just wish other people I knew didnt see it. It would be one thing if we didnt have mutual friends and it was a bunch of strangers who saw them. Thanks for the words of encouragement though they are truly appreciated (and that goes to everyone here)

I am 52 with a very small frame. I also tend to put weight in my mid section so thats where the majority of it sits and its not a good look right now.

Thank you. I think I just normally wear loose clothing and this was the first time I went out in a tight dress that I thought I looked good in. But when I saw the pictures I was really embarrassed. I legit look pregnant in them. Its not about numbers or weight but my body is hanging on to a big pooch no matter how much I keep losing.

it sucks that this happened, but i hope you can hang on to the knowledge that they wanted you there and your self-image doesn't change that

Its hard because he is so bad at giving me verbal affirmation. I knew this about him when I married him but now that I really need it and dont get it, its making my self esteem worse. Especially since he is always making comments about women he sees in the media and while that never bothered me before its now also contributing to how badly I feel about myself. I cannot watch any show with attractive women in it without him commenting about them (which he is now trying to stop doing). We were already struggling with this before these pictures got posted. And of course he sees me crying about it and offers to help cook more and go to the gym with me but he still cant tell me he finds still finds me attractive.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I really needed that today

This has happened to me a couple of times before too. I wonder if its filters that distorts pictures. Like the other day my girlfriend took a picture of me across the table from her at dinner. She showed me the picture and asked if she could post it. After she posted it and I saw it later that night I was shocked to see how gross I looked. My face looked so distorted. As long as she was happy with it thats all I needed. I know I am handsome. I guess my point of this story is that you are a beautiful woman, Cleo. you know this, CE knows this, and your husband knows this. Unflattering angles and/or filters can make anyone, beautiful celebrities included, looks terrible. Those pictures are not a good representation of who you are know. Im sure you did look incredible in that dress. Dont let the camera fool you into thinking otherwise.

this is so bizarre to me, guy sounds super ungrateful. like literally, from what I remember you are significantly younger than him, you make way more than he does (iirc he was struggling keeping a good job?) and you've looked like a model since freaking 2006. How hard is it for the guy to not audibly thirst over girls on TV? like how does he have to make an effort to *not* do that?? and he won't even compliment you?

I spend too much time on reddit but I wonder if he wants you to feel bad about yourself because it sounds like you're so out of his league <_<

Dis so much

You're beautiful cleo!!

Sorry to hear you are going through this.. and that you aren't getting the support you want/need. I'll echo some other poster's sentiments - not being good at verbal affirmation is completely different from saying things you know will trigger your partner.

You're beautiful as you are Cleo.

You're working on improving, that's all that matters.

And you're gorgeous regardless of how your body is.

There are HUGE downsides to "Breast Implants" that most women don't know about, especially Long Term!

And injecting Botox or other plastic stuff into your face will probably have long term consequences as well.

It's best to be Au Naturale, no fakery!

my working theory was he was on the spectrum or something because she's not presenting his actions here as intentional, but i guess exposure to toxic shit like the red pill kind of also is possible (usually those guys are not apologetic about what they're doing though)

his comment on the photos is the dumbest thing i can imagine a guy saying

I dont think its intentional. He grew up with 4 brothers that he essentially raised. Then went to the military. Hes just generally bad at communicating, especially with women. Were looking to explore that more in therapy soon. Were open to each other about who we find attractive and thats never bothered me before. Ive pointed out guys as well. But now it is now that I feel insecure and hes learning to pull back.
