I don't have kids yet but I hope to soon the only thing I can think of to tell you is maybe take some time if you can to just pamper yourself :)

I don't have any either, but try taking the kids to the park and stay active, hold the one month old a lot while you do things, that small amount of weight you carry around can help tone your body. Take a bubble bath, put on at least a little bit of makeup daily, eat fresh foods, wear something other than sweatpants and sneakers. Little things like that could boost your self esteem :)

Try yoga or meditation, go swimming, call up a babysitter and go out for dinner and drinks with some friends, get a mani/pedi, get a new hair style, save up for something you've been wanting!

Girl, I know exactly What you are saying. I've had three kids but also have two step kids and I'm a wreck no doubt! And when I do have time to myself, I want to sleep!! :) I try and do some work outs as much as I can and eat as healthy I can with the amount of income we have but it is hard. I'm always in pajamas and mostly looking a reck but lately I have been waking up a lot earlier and having some me time. I do my excersizes, eat breakfast, shower and do my makeup and hair..and throw something nice on...not everyday but when I can. Also, if you have a boyfriend..husband..or any Support system than ask for help and get atleast an hour or two for yourself! And if money is an issue to pamper yourself a little, try getting a groupon and living social! They have great deals on everything!..spas..makeup...nail salons..hair salons..and try saving for that..thats What I do when I can. Hopefully I gave some good advice,?

Niayla S.

I hope I can pull it off that's been one of the reasons I've been putting motherhood off is because everyone keeps drilling it into my head "your never going to have time for yourself".

I don't have this hair color any more its black and dark brown and this was before I had my one month old

Niayla S.

Yeah my advice to you is pace your self because having kids especially unexpectedly can cause some problems but they still are amazing and a blessing

May 18, 2013

Tiffany D.

Thanx Niayla I don't know if I gave you any good advice but thank you for yours It's something I've been thinking long and hard about even though both my fiancé and I have agreed we want kids he already has some and is quick to warn me it's going to change everything but its something I definitely want good luck to you :)

May 18, 2013

Niayla S.

May 18, 2013

I felt like that a little after having my daughter, I had absolutely no time to go to the gym so my husband bought me a Wii with a couple of sunny n dance games and they help me keeps in shape right in my living room! Also eating healthier makes a difference, and if you had some skin discouragement (stretch marks) Palmers forming butter with Q10 is a life saver!

Yoga. Heals the body and eases the mind. Calming and restorative. It can change your life. :)

Niayla, you are beautiful.

I know how it is to lose yourself. I'm dealing with it right now. My daughter is two and between her, my niece, and my husband I don't know who I am. I've been trying to become more active, but it seems as if there's not enough hours in the day.
I like to take my daughter to the park or just walk around with her. My happy place is playing in make-up. I also do a lot of reading.

I felt like this after I had my daughter. Honest best remedy is time. Do activities w. your kids to where your able to stay fit & kids busy & happy. Self confidence is something that doesn't develop over night. But w. the right attitude , support & just a willing nature to build yourself up. It will come :)

Sometimes you have to force yourself to apply yourself. I'm a new mommy and my son is 8 months and I'm just as tired as when he first came home. Take a day in the week where you have to do your hair and makeup, snap some photos. Then when you feel like crap look at your photos of how good you were looking on that day you applied yourself!
