Has anyone actually overcame extremely low self esteem, if so, how?

I had extremely low self esteem. I hated the way that I looked and I hated the way I carried myself. In year 2018 I decided to loose 52 pounds and got myself a girl.

However that girl did not like me for who I am. She knew me before I lost weight and she never noticed me at that time. My low self esteem self said “fuck it, never had a girl before so we hook up.” Turns out it was the worst thing I have ever done. We went for couple of months and it all went downhill. After that my self esteem went really low. I started getting back to my horrible eating habits and I started gaining weight.

That’s was 2018 and I decided for 2019 to be myself. Pushing myself to out of my comfort zone and explore life.

This year I decided to do things by myself. I am 23 and all my life I have been doing things with my friends and family but I. NEVER done things for myself. So this year I actually feel good about myself. So far I went to

(All by myself) 1. Went to the Movies 2. Went to a comedy stand up at Improv (TheHodgeTwins) 3. Travel/Road Trip 4. Went to see Mr.Fluffy (Gabriel Iglesias) Dallas,Tx.

I am trying to teach myself to be open minded. To go out and have some fun. Lately I love it because it’s is a gift for myself. Told myself to experience new things and do things that is close to my heart. I am trying to accept myself and trying improve myself to becoming a better person overall.
