Annoying people!

I gave birth a month ago and my aunt had the nerve to tell me why my stomach is still big!! WELL I JUSTTTTT GAVE BIRTHH!! And my cousin said oh you can't exercise??? Really??? Wtf kind of questions are those? Especially hearing it from other women that been through pregnancy and giving birth. My main concern is my newborn. I want to take care of her rather than worrying about my waistline.

My son is 17 days old and people ask me if I'm having another!  I always say, why yes I am...not. it's so annoying. My son is way more important than my weight.

I know how you feel. At a graduation party, my uncle told me, "Oh, damn, are you pregnant again?" I told him that my baby was only 2 weeks, but then I told him "Hey, I just had a baby, but what's your excuse? Why are you so damn fat?"  He just laughed it off, but those words are hurtful, especially when our hormones are crazy. Take time to get back in shape. I do plan on getting back in shape, but my main concern is my baby and I know I have to eat well to be able to feed him. Don't worry about other people's rude comments.

Oh, my SIL also commented on my size about 3 days after I had my baby.... Let me tell you, she's no one to talk!!

I know how that is. Even while I was pregnant with my first child(3 yrs ago), I had gaoned a lot of weight. My dear grandmother used to constantly tell me I was having twins. That I was just too big to only be carrying one baby. It was awful

I can't believe they said that to you.  you shouldn't do any major for at least 6 wks. after you have seen the dr to make sure everything is ok with you. I only gained 22lbs during my pregnancy and I lost most of the weight right away but that is only according to the numbers on the scale. I still have more to go to get into my old clothes comfortably.

My son weighed 8lbs 9.5ozs and it still took me a while to get it off, just because the baby's bigger doesn't mean that's the only reason you're big!! It took you 9 months to gain it, expect it to take that long to get it off!

It bugs me SO bad when women are more concerned about their weight, there are SO many "moms" I know that are eating NOTHING their entire pregnancies to ensure no stretch marks, and they're pre pregnancy weight within a week of delivering, it's SELFISH and it bugs me so much!!! Don't let them get you down, it will come off soon enough!!
