I thought her reaction was incredibly childish and uncalled for. People are telling her she looks great and she jumps down their throats? Grow the hell up.

Hmmm. You don't see why she may have snapped? Let me guess, you have never been in PPD/PPA and likely have 2 kids or less

Good grief. I have three kids and had PPD with one of them. Spare us all. Telling someone they look fantastic is not the crime you'd like it to be.

However, most of it was lost because of medical reasons (thyroid, medication change, etc.) and some were lost due to not eating during a depressive episode. People are assuming I changed my eating habits, and even go as far as to say they are proud of me for eating healthy and losing weight. I know they mean to be kind. I know they think they're being complimentary. But I'm so over people commenting on my weight. My weight gain was largely out of my control in the first place (went from a size zero to a size 14), and it makes me feel self conscious. So PSA - think twice before commenting on someone's weight loss - it may be a sensitive topic for them.

In today’s America, a person just can’t win.

Let’s all just stop speaking to one another entirely.

If your ia of conversation is commenting on someone's appearance, yes, please stop speaking to me

DP. I sincerely hope no one ever tells you, "You look so nice today!"

Nice seeing you

That way no one can be offended.

Trust, they will be offended by one or all of those anyway. You can't win with certain people.
