Just need to vent about this really. My mother (makes frequent comments about my weight / appearance, and always has done) just called me up to say that she was sending me a few tops that my sister had bought (for herself) in the sales but had since decided were "far too big for her" (I think she ordered them online), and so they (mother and sister) thought that I might like them. I have never been so tempted to respond with a "f* off" in my life. I have a ten week old baby (my second), and they know I've been trying ridiculously hard to lose my baby weight - I eat as little as seems feasible while breastfeeding, and run every night. My sister is very tall and slim, but (as she is 6 inches taller than me) I actually suspect we're probably quite similar in clothes size just now. Fot what it's worth, I'm 5ft 3 and 9 stone exactly (which is almost a stone more than my pre-baby weight, but I am losing it fast). The comment / sentiment has reduce me to tears and made me feel really crap about my post-baby body, as if I didn't already. A total overreaction to a well intended gesture? Or just a really thoughtless / bitchy thing for them to do?
