In serious need of some motivation!

Hey guys. I’ve had PCOS for several years now. At my absolute worst, I weighed over 200 pounds. I had a wake up call when my knees started to get really bad. I had an accident while riding atvs and it messed up one of my knees real bad. But the weight gain just made it so much worse. I ended up losing about 40 pounds. I felt amazing. I ended up getting pregnant. I was about 210 pounds after I had my son about 7-8 months back. My body took its sweet time recovering. I had postpartum depression and I’m an emotional eater so there’s that. About 4 months back, I weighted 202 pounds. I’ve managed to bring it down to 182 pounds. I know that it shows, physically, that I’ve lost weight. I feel great. I’m actually able to carry my son around for hours without feeling tired. I’ve been weight lifting, watching my diet, doing cardio. The thing is, I still have these dark days where I absolutely HATE my body. I look at myself and I get so depressed. I’ve had someone close to me call me fat and unattractive. Pretty much fat shame me. They didn’t mean it and it was because of some heavy drama between the two of us. But their words still swim around in my head. Like I’ll look at myself in the mirror and I hear them calling me fatty. I lose my motivation then. I feel like eating all sorts of stuff, being an emotional eater and whatnot. What are some things I can do to keep myself motivated? I want to be healthy and strong for my baby boy. It sucked when I couldn’t hold him and walk around for more than 15-20 minutes. I’m only 25. Sucks that my knees make all these weird creaking noises. I want to feel good, strong and attractive.
