Am I being overly sensitive?

Fully prepared to be told I'm being too sensitive.

Last night whilst cuddled up in bed we were just laid there chatting about when we first met 6 years ago. I jokingly asked 'Do you still fancy me then? After so long?'

He replied with a very sincere 'Well...I suppose, although you were A LOT thinner when we first met'.

In context I was 8 and a half stone when we first met, suffering from bad depression and quite ill from not really eating/sleeping properly. I'm now just over 10 and a half stone and I'm 5ft 7. I didn't think I looked too bad for someone who's given birth to 4 children!

I know it probably seems overly sensitive and might not bother most people but the way he said it made me feel quite hurt. I suppose he's being honest with me and maybe I should be grateful for that but now I'm questioning myself and feel pretty rubbish. He fell asleep instantly and I just laid there replaying the comment in my head. I haven't said anything to him about it this morning.

Just wondered if I'm over reacting and should get over myself or whether anyone else would be hurt by a comment like that?

Ouch! Sounds to be he was using it as an opportunity to tell you you've put weight on and he prefers you slimmer
