I can't win.

Yesterday was my daughter's 2nd birthday party. I am also 27 weeks pregnant. This was the second time we saw my In Laws this year.

Before I got pregnant with my first daughter, I was a size 2-4 and after she was born I was a size 14. I lost about 20 pounds and this pregnancy I am a size 10 and have only gained 5 pounds up until this point.

Anyways, after my daughter's party was over and we were packing up to leave my FIL came over to me and started telling me that if I really wanted to lose the weight I could and I shouldn't let pregnancy be an excuse and how much bigger I am. I was feeling proud of myself thus pregnancy because I have been working so hard to eat healthier and stay more active. (Which isnt hard running after a 2 year old all day) I just can't win.

When my husband and I were dating they always told me I was too little and needed to gain weight. I got pregnant with my first and gained 70 pounds. The day after I had my daughter my MIL asked me if the nurses told me how long I was still going to look fat. (I also had medical problems and then undiagnosed PPD for 9 months afterwards) lost 20 pounds before getting pregnant again and now back to more comments about my weight.... I just feel so defeated.
