It's pretty depressing. I've been making myself feel better with some cute accessories, doing my nails, and today I'm getting my hair trimmed. It doesn't always help, but it's better than looking at my arms in the mirror and bemoaning their resemblance to wings... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672498 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 08:31:56 +0000 doxielove 672498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I'm going through one of those slumps right now. Usually I get through it by getting a fresh cut/color, mani/pedi, buying myself some cute new wardrobe pieces (lately it's been boots! I know, I know, not very spring-y), and working out to lose a few lbs.</p> <p>Needless to say, it gets expensive when I'm in a slump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672472 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 08:27:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 672472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course, I think everyone does. My best thing is buy a new outfit that I feel good in. Luckily my husband can recognize when I get in these downs and offer some sweet words. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672255 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 06:40:34 +0000 LindsayInNY 672255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Mine is usually weight-based more than looks otherwise. I battled an (thankfully mild) eating disorder in college and early law school. When I get down on my weight, I try to either make changes to feel better or tell myself that my body is meant to be a certain way and I need to love it as its meant to be! Someone easier said than done :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672230 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 05:53:52 +0000 MrsTiz 672230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: ditto </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672210 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 04:53:09 +0000 blackbird 672210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everybody does! I treat myself to a cute new top or some nail polish, maybe some makeup....something new! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672207 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 04:26:56 +0000 Smurfette 672207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I will go workout, buy a new outfit, or just plain old make a point to put more effort into getting dressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672205 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 04:02:11 +0000 rybybeach 672205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been feeling this way. Maybe a new cut is the ticket! For me after talking about the easter bunny all day I don't feel too sexy to my so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672203 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 04:00:19 +0000 MrsStar 672203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure do! It's not very often that I do feel attractive unfortunately. I do my best to do my hair/makeup/semi-good clothes each day which gives me a boost that I attempted to look better. One of these days I'm hoping to spoil myself which hopefully will get me out of this slump even if it's for a little while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672126 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 23:31:09 +0000 twoofeverything 672126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always feel better when I watch my calories and really make an effort toward working out. I've always been slightly overweight, but when I'm doing something about it, I feel better.<br /> I aso try to buy myself one or two "nicer" clothing items each month. And not Old Navy lounge clothes...things I'd actually wear to someplace nicer than the grocery store.<br /> It's hard, especially when you SAH. For me, though, looking better = feeling better = nicer Mommy. I've been sucking at it, lately, too, but it's worth it to try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672122 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 23:26:16 +0000 cyndistar3 672122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It typically a question of do I ever get out of my slump? Lol It is a rare, rare occasion that I feel attractive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672086 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:36:11 +0000 Beebug 672086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. Usually end up with a haircut, new outfit, new workout routine to boost my confidence and how I feel, and then I try to keep it going with better habits. Sometimes it lasts, sometimes doesn't.</p> <p>I'm in a valley right now....trying to get out of a slump!</p> <p>Hope your slump ends soon, and stays away :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672085 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:35:45 +0000 autumnlove 672085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely, I feel so frumpy right now! </p> <p>You are gorgeous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672084 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:34:58 +0000 sarac 672084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! I've put on a little weight breastfeeding and it is such a downer. Exercise always makes me feel better, no matter how I look. I've given dieting another try and it's going ok so far, so I'm hopeful that this time will work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672070 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:27:06 +0000 Dapple Grey 672070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww You are not alone!</p> <p>I always get a boost from a cut/style/color! Or as cheesy as it is, make a list of mantras to proclaim in regards to how beautiful you really are! If you look in the mirror and talk negative to yourself, you will feel negative...try the reverse ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672061 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:17:54 +0000 HLK208 672061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! You're SO gorgeous though.</p> <p>Yes, I do get into those slumps, often. It helps me to buy a few new pieces of clothing, some make-up and to go running - all at once! When I can't do that, I try to take more time out for myself during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-through-slumps-feeling-really-unattractive#post-672057 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:11:45 +0000 Springtime 672057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you get out of it and make yourself feel pretty again?</p> <p>I've been in this slump for awhile it's starting to depress me, I hate looking at myself in the mirror. </p> <p>I know some SAHM feel this way if they don't get dressed or wear makeup. But I get up every day and fix my hair, put on makeup and dress nice for work. I've been working out also. </p> <p>I'm thinking I need new makeup routine or a fresh color and cut! </p> <p>What do you do to make yourself feel pretty? </p>
