Distance and no confidence

I was a really big girl b4 I got pregnant I was a size 18 in clothes so I had no confidence through that but now I'm pregnant I feel even worse I feel fat and like I'm getting fatter x also it came to light a couple of weeks ago my partner was sexting other girls and sending nudes pic and watching porn for the first like 6 months of our relationship x I found the messages but his mates said they sent them so I disregarded them x were now 2yrs into our relationship and I thought things were going well and my mum asks him and he admitted to lying to me x and since then I don't wanna b touched I don't feel attractive I feel like its my fault because I'm not thin or pretty x does anyone feel like this and wa can help me x I'm so sick of feeling insecure all the time like im not worth anything x

I agree with Damilette, I'm 22 I'm a size 14/16 and this is my 3rd pregnancy :) I tell my hubby I'm fat all the time but he just tells me I'm beautiful and pregnant, sometimes he'll just agree with me tho. I've been heavy my whole life too :/ and my hubs is a toothpick lol think positive mama we are carrying a blessing :)

Im a size 22-24... ha! I look beautiful! Im pregnant! THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FIGURE EVER!  :) I always had a low self steem, I've been a plus size my whole life... Now that I am 22 years old, I've realized that I am beautiful no matter what, and that I have to love myself first if I want others to love me too. :) Keep your head up! You are growing life! :)

I'm a size 18 now, I call myself fat all the time. My bf gets so upset and says "you're not fat you're beautiful" but I just roll my eyes at him. I'm overweight, I'm not an idiot but its very hard for me to lose weight. He took me to get a gym membership because that's what I wanted And we have gone a whole 3 times in a month.

He is thin and fit, and can eat anything. He carbo loads and won't eat veggies which means I eat what he eats. He didn't get it until I broke down crying saying I needed better food in the house if he isn't going to be able to take me to the gym like he promised.

I'd die if I found out he was sexting other girls so I feel your pain on so many levels. I'm epileptic, and can't drive so I'm super dependant on my bf to help me with a lot of things. I feel horrible for it but he seems to enjoy having someone need him.

If I lived near you, I'd take you with me so we could go to the gym together.

I was a size 18 before pregnancy as well and feel like a complete cow, I'm still insecure but honestly the thing that makes me feel better is when my hunny steps up and does little things to make me feel loved. Try talking to your partner. Good luck

I was a 12 in high school and a size 2 the last 2 years of college. I had more confidence in high school. I was a 6 when I conceived and have gained 20lb with this pregnancy and am trying to love my baby belly. It's hard, even though my husband tells me i'm sexy every day, I don't always believe it. I guess my point is, it really is about how you see yourself. Size 18 can be beautiful! You just have to believe that you are.

I used to feel that way when I was younger and I realized one day that im not fat. I am about a size 17. Its all how you feel about yourself and gain confidence within yourself.  Realize what your goodat and who you are and it will help you with your self esteem. And **** what others think. Also being pregnant takes a toll on everyone ..but think positive and good luck
