Two weeks postpartum and already shamed...

My mom was watching a video with my dad and my daughter of a mom & daughter doing a dance to baby shark together.

My mom says “(my name) can learn this dance and do it with (daughters name) so she can lose some weight and (daughter name) can have fun.”

I had my baby TWO weeks ago- and have already dropped a significant amount of weight by the way.

I stood up for myself and said “I don’t have to lose weight- and we don’t talk like that in this house.”

I don’t need that pressure and my daughter doesn’t need to think that loosing weight is the reason we do fun physical activities.

TW-

Kind of majorly peeved- especially considering my mother is overweight herself. On top of that my mom has had eating disorders, feels shame because of her body and talks about it all the time, and was the main reason I had Ed’s as a child. I’m glad I’ve mostly overcome those things myself, and I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t bother me and give me a bit of a triggering feeling, but I’m going to do my best to let it go.
