I still feel so fat and self conscious in front of my partner, I thought that breast feeding would help me to loose my pregnancy weight.

Unfortunately pregnancy weight can hang around until you stop breast-feeding and even then, it can be a while to return before you return to your pre pregnancy shape. In the meantime, I recommend that help yourself to feel more body confident, that you take relaxing baths followed by gentle self massage with the most indulgent body lotion you can find. Try to think kind positive thoughts about your body as you feel the softness of your skin. I also suggest that you treat yourself to a monthly full body massage and some new clothes that fit well and feel comfortable on your curvaceous body. Enjoy your new shape for as long as it lasts.
