So Sensitive

I noticed myself nowadays that I am getting sensitive with critical comments against me :-) Or maybe it is just that I am feeling the holiday blues, you know, away from my family for almost 4 years and going through phases in life that there's only hubby to turn to. But I really try not to get affected in the least because I know how to respect other people's opinion. Nevertheless, I am happy that it never happened yet that somebody throw a criticism on me and if ever there is any I may not have heard it :-)

Anyways, the reason I was saying this is that, when me and hubby talked about exercise and losing weight it brought a pang of pain, due to guilt maybe, especially when he suggested that I do some 'exercising' :-) He said though that it is not that I got big, which thankfully I am not literally, but just to keep me fit and healthy as well as tone my jelly-belly. He got a point but maybe it is with women that we get so sensitive when we are talked into it. It kind of raise a red flag to our self-esteem. I blamed it to hormone too :-) As first time Mom and long to have more Mommy time, it is just hard to swallow the real truth about things that matters most for our own sake. I need to lighten up, right? :-)
