Things not to say to a woman who just gave birth
So, I am 3 1/2 weeks postpartum and I was at a family dinner for MoThers day and my SO's Aunt pointed to my belly and asked what am I going to do with that? I was shocked that she was commenting on my body and even more shocked how this affected me. I thought I looked pretty good (I'm 5'7" and weigh about 155lbs--I weighed 135 before conceiving). I'm breast feeding and making sure I have enough calories to produce milk. But Then she goes on to say that all of the celebrities loose their weight and asked what my plan was...diet or exercise? Are you serious?! I'm sorry, but I don't have a personal chef or trainer, so no plan other than taking care of my baby and walking my dog for exercise. I'm also 35 years old and I think it'll take my body some time to rebound. I started looking at those tummy shrinking bands, but F that! I'm doing just fine. end Rant.
