Since I've gone on mat leave I feel I have let myself go - no make-up, hair is a mess, started wearing dull clothes... Went on facebook today and found few people (woman) from the past on there and checked their pictures - they're looking svelte, slim and trim and so beautiful. That made me so jealous kind of sad... I'm a stone bigger than pre-pregnancy (size 12/14, used to be 10...) and not very happy. My partner keeps saying he loves me but I do not get same amount of attention from him as before. Last time we had sex was ages ago.
Posted somewhere about his recent remark - that my leaking boobs do not do anything good to his libido. He is probably right, I have let myself go that's plain obvious when I look in the mirror. But what's the point of making myself look good if I spend days at home with the baby?... Also, there's not much I can do about my leaking boobs as I am breastfeeding!
I am not sure what I am trying to say here. Facebook just made me feel so sad and I am longing for my single days in a way... Days when I was slim, my partner was admiring me and we had fun in hotels and had sex - all that's left is boring housekeeping/cleaning, tv watching every night and a cuddle before sleep...
Am contemplating dieting to loose the weigth but not sure as I am breastfeeding... I just feel a bit hopeless at the moment - will he ever want me again like before?.. Rethoric question I know.
