As a plus sized person who has honestly never really been happy or confident with my appearance, I’m looking for self-help books/workbooks that ACTUALLY helped you with self-worth, insecurity, comparison, anxious attachment, obsessive thoughts, etc.

I struggle a lot with:

- tying my worth to whether I feel attractive/desirable

- comparing myself to other women constantly

- feeling “not enough”

- relationship insecurity

- needing reassurance

- spiraling/overthinking

- difficulty believing compliments

- body image/self-esteem issues

I’m currently trying to improve myself mentally and physically, but I don’t want recommendations that are super fake-positive or “just love yourself queen!!!” because that stuff honestly makes me roll my eyes lol.

I’d prefer:

- mostly grounded or realistic books

- psychology-based would be cool

- practical advice

- workbook recommendations are welcome too, actually I'd prefer ones that give hands on prompts or ideas

- things that helped you genuinely become more secure and peaceful mentally

Especially interested in recommendations from other plus sized women or people who struggled heavily with insecurity/self-worth.
