Just that, really.
Had DS 5 months ago and lost a lot of weight very quickly due to severe PND (was back in my size 8/10s in two weeks because I couldn't eat.
DS, while wonderful, is a difficult baby; reflux, no sleep, possible CMPI (bottle refusal) and a screamer. Consequently, I've spent the last 5 months existing on catnaps and rubbish food to get me through. I know it's not the healthiest but I am shattered. By the time DH comes home from work, I can't rouse myself to go for a run and I'm so exhausted from no sleep the night before that I can't do much more than go for leisurely walks with DS. Mainly to try and get him to actually sleep.
Anyway, I went in to see work when DS was 10 weeks old and colleague-we'll call him twat-completely avoided me. Wouldn't acknowledge my existences, refused to speak to me blah blah blah.
We used to be super close and he admitted (when drunk) that he had feelings for me. Nothing ever came of this and I tried very hard to
Remain friendly with him.
Anyway, fast forward to today and I had to go back to work for a KIT day. I've put on a bit of weight-nothing major but I'm tiny so it's fairly noticeable (probably about a stone over my pre-pregnancy weight but I'm scared to actually weigh myself). Bearing in mind twat face hasn't spoken to me in almost a year, he positively revelled in this, with the first words out his mouth being "shit, you've got really fat". When other folks recoiled in shock, he backtracked with a stupid twat laugh and said he was only kidding.
I know I shouldn't care but the damage -and self esteem bashing-has already been done. I know I don't look like I used to but who does when they can't spend 4-6 hours a week in the gym, or actually have the mental capacity to cook a healthy meal rather than calling dominoes?
I'm being stupid. I know its a drop in the ocean compared to what some folk are going through on here. He's a twat and I have much more important things to worry about but it's bloody hurtful.
