Sequel to this thread:

"I dropped my post-partum weight in record time and NO ONE complimented me. I feel so hurt and unseen."

People can't win with OP et al. You need to be validated, but only in the right way, at the right time, and you can't tell others exactly how you want your validation, because you don't want them to know you desperately crave attention, so they have to guess, and if they guess wrong, they're the WORST SORT OF WOMAN-HATER.

But there is a right and wrong answer here. Do not comment on bodies and weight. Stop the cycle that leads to people needing their bodies validated in the first place.

It’s really pretty simple and it’s not confusing at all. You’re making it like there’s some mystery when someone could literally walk up to a postpartum woman and say “how are you doing? How has it been going?” And then just listen and not be insane[/quote]
