July 4th outing with some hamily. Alright so I know this is late but I was pretty pissed about this incident. So some backstory: I have a cousin who is married to a guy in the national guard. Both of them are very active and I constantly saw them at my gym before they switched to one with a daycare. This brings me to my next point, my cousin recently had a baby. Now she may have put on some weight during the process but she quickly lost it afterwards and is in fact in even better shape than before! So of course at the family outing people are playing around with her new baby while remarking on how "skinny" she is. My mom even chimed in when she showed pics of my cousin with her baby to coworkers, they said the thing that was out of place was how skinny my cousin was! So I chimed in, "She's not 'skinny' she's normal," which of course brought out an annoyed face from my large aunt. How have we let our society come to a point where people are shocked that a woman can continue being fit and thin after having a baby?
