So last night after losing my scales in January and after an extremely stressful period studying & Uni tuition fee problems I finally found my scales and found myself at my heaviest ever in my life. I discovered my ex having an affair and we split up over 2.5 years ago and at the time I was in the process of losing weight healthily as I’m not a big person anyway and after the “divorce diet” I was at my thinnest since having my second 7 years ago. He split up from OW 6 months ago but has had a new girlfriend within a month who is nearer to my DD10’s age than his but seems lovely. And they like her so that is all that matters.
But recent events have led me to not look after myself and not exercise at all since September. But the stone I’ve put on is only since January. So I’ve had a pretty miserable night just wanting to stuff my face but I didn’t.
This morning DD6 is in my room getting dressed with me. Whilst watching me she turns around and says
“Mummy (New GF)’s pants are really really really tiny. And it goes in her bum but she doesn’t pull it out like I do. Mummy she just keeps it on like that and wears her jeans over. But they are so very very tiny.” With pure amazement in her eyes. Whilst I didn’t know if I wanted to laugh or cry.
Now she’s never seen me wear tiny pants because even when I were slimmer after kids I tend to go for comfort more than anything.
But AIBU to want to finish a whole family pack of mini choc rolls from miserableness at that picture in my head.
To top it off I’m meeting Tiny Pants for the first time tomorrow. Please mumsnetters be there in person with me so that I can look at her instead of picturing her in very tiny pants.
