aibu to tell the next person who tells me that i must be naturally skinny to sod off?!

[inneedofsomehelpplz]

my baby is under 4 months & i am sick & tired of people telling me ive sprung back into shape so must be naturally skinny!!!! no, far from it..... i havetoast for breakfast, an apple for lunch & a small bowl of pasta with peas for dinner. i also try & excercise where i can. ive worked bloody hard on losing my baby weight & want to scream at people im bloody well hungry & want a nice juicy cheesy pizza!!!!!!

So eat some pizza? A healthy diet has all things in moderation, your diet sounds awfully restrictive and won't be giving you adequate nutrition.

Sounds like you should have the pizza.

You don't eat enough, that's why they're surprised. Eat the pizza - you need the energy with a new baby more than you need to be skinny (and I lost my baby weight quite quickly but just through walking loads with the pushchair). Don't starve yourself, you will look back and which you'd enjoyed the early days, not spent them hungry.

Er.... YABU. On many levels.

Eat it then. Starving yourself is not a good diet.

I'm not suprised you're hungry. Their assumption wasn't that unreasonable, as they wrongly assumed you weren't starving yourself.

Would you prefer a fanfare and a medal?

Who cares what you do in your private life

Just take the compliments for what they are - compliments

Yabu. Eat more, it's not a competition.

Crikey, you need to eat more than that. You must be feeling crap, what with starving yourself on top of having a small baby to look after!

That diet sounds dangerous.

You are being ridiculous and I suspect attention seeking.

Clearly not eating a healthy diet either.

You will make yourself ill.

Eat a pizza

They are paying you the compliment of assuming you are acting sensibly. They are not to know that you're making these bizarre choices.

Maybe if you ate more,you wouldn't be so ratty and want to scream at people.

Bloody hell - eat if you are hungry, for God's sake! YABU.

OP. Grow. Up.

you need a variety of foods to have a healthy diet, make sure you take a vitamin. Also not eating what you want or fancy must be making you feel miserable, I know I couldn't be hungry, that would make me sad..
you also need extra calories for your milk production.
go easy on yourself, you need to be happy! ;)

:)

So would you prefer people to congratulate you on your food 'martyrdom'?

I don't get why you're angry? Is it because people haven't told you how amazing you are for starving yourself? Of course they think you're naturally skinny, because being constantly hungry is just not healthy.

No wonder you're grumpy.

Have a medal. You can smile now.

Here have a

Well done for losing the weight. I am 7lbs down with 21lbs to go so know how hard it is. However, it doesn't sound like you are eating enough. Next time they say anything why don't you just say "yes I am really please and I have worked really hard to get here. "

Friend: Wow you've pinged back into shape quickly [slight note of concern] ...it must be because you're naturally skinny.

OP: Sod off bitch! I am starving myself and you should bloody well congratulate me!

YANBU

Tell them 'sod off I have an eating disorder'.

Also, go to your GP and tell them the same.

Wow, this thread is an eyeopener!

I often go months eating less than that to try to lose weight, but eventually give up, because I never lose any. Oddly, I never gain any when I go back to eating crap either. I just assumed I must have crap will power and actually i need to eat even less to lose. But everyone seems to think that's very little to eat!!

I exercise loads too.
