I've never really had a problem with self esteem. I don't think I'm a super model but I also don't (usually) think I'm ugly.

I had a baby not long ago, and since then I've had some real self esteem issues.
To make a long story short...I was arguing with my friends ex girlfriend (stupid, and I don't usually involve myself in that kind of drama...) and at one point she called me an "Ugly effing B i t c h." And It hit me so hard, I almost cried. I know it was meant to hurt, and the people I was with said "that is ridiculous, she's acting like a child and she's jealous" but for some reason, I still internalized it. It's still bothering me today, two days later. If my self esteem was good, it wouldn't be bothering me at all.

Anyone have any ideas on how to boost your self esteem (or get it back)? I don't like feeling lousy about myself. It makes me feel like a weak person.
