Hi all - I know I'm being over sensitive but something my sister in law said today has upset me , she'd be mortified if she knew but it's late at night and every time I think about it I can feel myself welling up. I am over weight and haven't lost any baby weight really after having 2 children in fairly quick succession and it gets me down but having a 1 & 2 year old to run around after (I've just changed a bed with one in it coz he's wet thro his nappy-and changed the others poopy bum in his sleep lol) I just haven't had the opportunity to focus on fitness/diet etc (I know-excuses excuses!) So today i paid her a compliment because she looks amazing 7 weeks post birth , she's pretty much back to how she was before she has a cracking figure. So I said 'wow you're looking great looking really trim! And she replied 'urgh I feel like a Pig!' I literally choked because all I could think of is Jesus Christ what do you think I look like then! Like does she look at me and think I look disgusting ?!
I'm being really silly arnt I ! I'm too embarrassed to even tell my husband - and I've been asked when the baby's due a few weeks ago, I feel so depressed about my weight and that just makes me eat chocolate ! Vicious circle isn't it! So am I totally overreacting in my own mind about this then? I'd never say anything to her because she'd be upset she'd hurt my feelings. I can't help but ashamed of my weight - I've been unintentionally fat shamed maybe that's it . Xxx
