Fat shamed after having a baby
So I’m currently 6 weeks postpartum. I decided today to go into my old workplace and surprise all the ladies there, and also introduce them to my little bub. All the ladies were so excited, but one of them came up to me and said ‘oh you’re still a little fat’ and grabbed the fat on my arm. Up until this point I had been feeling pretty good about my body, given what it’s current state is. Now I keep thinking maybe I’m all in my head, and what I think I see in the mirror isn’t actually what everyone else is seeing - maybe I am really fat. I’ve really struggled in the past with body image and body dysmorphia and I can slowly feel those feelings creeping back in.
I guess I just want to start a thread where we can accept our bodies, especially those that have gone through crazy changes (whether that be having babies or just immense personal growth). Let’s spread positivity !
