I hear all of these big negative feelings about how you look and what this means for your purpose, especially as a woman. It is totally understandable to have these worries and doubts about yourself in a society which is so hellbent on placing importance on the value of others opinion and dragging people down if they don't look a certain way. But this is a reflection on our society and not on your value as a person or woman, even though this is very hard to feel, and I really hear why you would be struggling with these thoughts and feelings.
There are many who have different body types and have found love/a man, can I ask what you think makes you undesirable compared to these people?
Your womanhood is however you define it, and I hear the frustration that you went to the gym to try to change these things you don't like about yourself, and hear that not seeing your desired results feels disappointing.
I wanted to check in at the end here, even though you said you're feeling mildly better, how are you feeling after some time to process these feelings? Here is a source too which speaks a lot about body image and why we can struggle, which I hope can make you feel less alone with these struggles and have the chance to potentially understand them a bit more!
