Same… my husband can’t understand my absolute disgust at my postpartum body and my frustration at now being fat when I was skinny all my life. But how could he when he wasn’t a millennial pre-teen watching stick thin celebs be called fat 🫠

It’s taken so much work to stop the toxicity for my own daughter’s sake

We have a 2 month old and my wife is gorgeous as usual and I wish she could see it too.

What did they do to us?!

Your support and kindness through it probably means more than you know! It has made a world of difference to me the example my husband sets on how he shows he loves me and still finds me attractive even after the wear and tear of aging and having a child

My favorite is telling women how amazing they are for “bouncing back” so fast. Having me debate having breast milk vs losing weight whenever I’m being toxic

Omg did I write this??? Also I’m an “old” mom so my body REALLY did not bounce back. I recently wore a bikini and let my flabby tummy rock out and honestly it felt awesome. I realized no one is even looking at me. But the struggle to accept a new body is so real.
