Your mom is rude and insensitive. Have a serious talk with her & tell her your boundaries & that she needs to respect you. I’m also 9 months pp & have a lot of skin chunkyness in my lower stomach. I think this whole bounce back culture with moms is just apart of the fat phobic and racist ideals that are pushed in our society when it comes to beauty. Just remember these capitalist companies are always trying to make money and how can they do that if women love themselves and our bodies. I get self conscious too but try to change the narrative in my head from something negative to positive. So I’ll thank my body for doing what it needs to bring my beautiful baby boy into this world and the stretch marks are a little reminder. I also been going to fitness groups like hot moms walk or beyond her body that focus more on how we feel versus what we look like. It makes me so upset when family tries to fat shame me or my partner but it’s so normal to gain weight & I do not take that lightly.

You’re beautiful and so strong. Don’t let your mom’s shallow or superficial ideals get to you. If you need to distance yourself from her, then you gotta do what’s best for you ❤️ always here to talk if you need it!
