He is an asshole and an idiot. If you diet too much, you will lose your milk supply and be at risk for post-partum depression.
He should be cooking you hearty meals and serving them to you while you relax.

It will come off by breastfeeding over the next 3-4 months. Don't sweat it, just take the credit!

Here's my solution, I'm sure many here will find it immature but I dont care:
The next time he mentions this, throw an absolute raging bitch fit. I mean, tears, shouting, all of it. And every keep bringing it up afterwards. Like, "I can't believe you told me that." Like Pavlov's dog, if he has any sense in him he will realize exactly how fucking dumb and insensitive this is and that it is NOT a wise choice.

I don't think there is anything you can do. You married an asshole. You should certainly put your foot down and be firm and tell him never to make a comment like that again but he won't understand it because he is a dick.

I totally agree. You can shout till your blue in the face but an asshole doesnt change it's spots.
Still, its worth the effort. Next time he brings this up, you need to tell him, in no uncertain terms, to shut the fuck up.

He is bitching over TEN pounds? After you just had a baby?
In all honesty, he sounds like a selfish piece of shit. I can't imagine raising a kid with someone like that or being with them for 20 years. OMG. He needs an attitude adjustment IMMEDIATELY.

Tell him to sh*t a butternut squash and see how much working out he feels like doing.

Anonymous wrote:Yes, he is being a jerk in the way he is communicating but really it's more likely he is having a hard time coping with all the changes of parenthood and realizing that things have permanently changed in his life. He just wants things back to the way they were and he is grasping at straws and likely even a bit depressed. It's not an excuse for his comments but some acknowledgement here and there about all the changes might make him slightly less apprehensive.
Really? She should acknowledge how much things might have changed for him, after she GREW A HUMAN and PUSHED IT OUT OF HER VAGINA. Wow. Poor guy. Birthing that baby must have been so tough on him.
OP, your husband is a douche. DTMFA.

Anonymous wrote:I am 3 weeks postpartum and DH keeps making upsetting comments about me not losing weight. I am a petite woman ( pre-pregnancy, 5'2, 110lbs) and I gained 33lbs during pregnancy. With breastfeeding and eating healthy, I managed to lose 20 something lbs already. I haven't been able to get rid of these last 10lbs but I'm not too worried and I'm more focused on motherhood. I was all belly but 10lbs does look like more for a person with my frame. DH likes very petite women and has said things like
" do you fit into your old clothes, yet?"
" do you remember when you were skinny enough to fit into your bikini and lingerie I like? Those were great memories"
When I tell him I do want to get back to my normal weight but its been 3 weeks and I have more important matters. When he can see I'm upset, he will throw in line " it will make you feel your best and more confident. I just want you to be happy and feel you look good". It frustrates me to no end. I'm already feeling frumpy and unattractive. I don't need my husband, who should be my #1 supporter, harping on me. I'm at a loss here.
Is your husband a supermodel? No? Then he needs to kindly shut the fuck up. What a pig. You should make comments back, like, "Wow, that guy has a six pack. That would look great on you, mmmmm. Love a man with ripped arms."
