For better or for worse,humansare a species that are obsessed with the way they look. Most of us worry about how our hair, face, and body look. Sadly, sometimes, it goes too far. For example, when we start obsessing over not a healthy body image but, rather, over an ideal and not a realistic one, applying these expectations to ourselves and others.

Sadly, sometimes, people feel like commenting on others’ bodies and weight, even if that’s not something those people want

One instance of these implications made the woman lose it — when the MIL said that the woman wouldn’t be able to run due to her weight, although she was a runner before thepregnancy

Yet, the dad’s family isn’t as helpful. For instance, despite living 20 minutes away, they don’t visit their grandchild.

So, since this fat shaming incident, it’s natural that the woman doesn’t really feel like visiting her MIL anymore. Who would want to go back to the place where they are made to feel bad? Even her husband, whose mom is the fat shamer, supports his wife in this situation.

A focus only on one’s body is not only exhausting but alsodamaging, both mentally and physically. It makes people think that losing weight is the way to happiness, which is not true and causes mental health problems and eating disorders. Not to mention how these kinds of worries or various diets can seriously hurt a person’s physical health.

And when it comes to new moms, all these things apply to them as well.Additionally, there are factors of hormonal changes due to pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, as well as, in some cases, postpartum depression or similar mental struggles. Worrying about “bouncing back” is not something new moms should be doing, as they have enough on their plates.

The woman doesn’t want to visit her MIL, which complicates her relationship with the grandchild, so the woman feels guilty, but the people online told her she shouldn’t feel bad
