How to deal with body image issues in a healthy way?

How to deal with body image issues in a healthy way?

I'm a new mommy and my baby is 3 months old. I haven't had any success in loosing the amount of weight that I wanted to have lost by now. My body is disgusting and I can't stand the way that I look anymore. The father of my child is no longer attracted to me, he's interested in women that look nothing like me. I guess I'm becoming very depressed and going into a place that I need to avoid mentally.I haven't eaten a meal in days, I hate looking at myself. I'm looking for some help, as far as websites or programs that could help me feel better about the person I am now, while I try and work on becoming the women that I truly want to be.

    The baby sucked all the omega 3's from your system. These help fight low moods & depression. Eat lots more foods with omega 3's. Then make a weekly meal plan of healthy choices. (Jumbo salads & home made vegetable soup). Put the baby in the stroller and go walking every morning, after lunch and after dinner.

    Keep a few tubs of Lite Cool Whip in the freezer to snack on in your moments of weakness.

    Type in the Youtube search box "post pregnancy exercise."
