I'm so sorry to do this. . . But I've been super busy. What did I miss? I'm not just being nosy. She's always been off to me.

She posted a picture of herself super pregnant and then another of her bare and super toned abs just a few months postpartum and said something to the effect of, "look at this! I wore a restrictive band after I had a baby and I keep recommending these to you but for real check out my awesome abs! This could be you, too, if you wear one after you have your baby!"

Thus ensued commentary about how tone deaf the post was.

The BOTAHs have lost their queen today.

[honeychai]

Okay but really, my rouge stomach muscles that separated after my first pregnancy, and now after three babies, just seem to be floating around like a couple of drunken fools, are seriously impressed by her extremely cooperative abs.

Get it together, honey chai's abs. Damn.

Awesome. That's about the sort of off I was thinking.

I wonder if the restrictive band works without the baby?

[underwaterrhymes]

I mean, honestly she looked great. And if she had framed it as an AW, instead of a PSA about a band that has a much smaller role in things than genetics, it would have probably gone a bit differently.

And if she participated here more often in threads that weren't just about her, she would have likely seen a markedly different response.

[eddy]

My issue with her is that she drops in, shows us a picture of her in front private jet or her abs and then goes off. The private jet pic is still one of my favs.

If you don't contribute, people don't give a shit. You will just become fodder.

Also, as I new mom I remember how worthless these type of posts made me feel. I don't want others to feel down about themselves at such a vulnerable time.

Go rock your baby or just take a fucking nap. The abs can be worried about later when life returns to normal (?) lol.

[smock]

And her response to the feedback that she was making people feel worthless included "some people care about their stomachs and some people don't care about their stomachs."

Talk about tone deaf.

[vicky]

I assume the band also restricts blood flow to the brain.

[lilafowler]

That was just a mess.

Didn't you care about your stomach being flat? I sure did. That's what kept me up most nights. My favorite part was when asked if she still wore it and how long to wear one, she replied that she stopped a long time ago and only wore it for 2-3 weeks. LOFL forever. 2-3 weeks.

You lie. She went there?

She also went to "You can bash me if it makes you feel better! My feelings won't get hurt!" It was a gem of a thread.

I wanna see the jet pic. I missed that.

[cleo29]

All I can think when I hear people talking about this, is Jessica Alba who wore two corsets 24/7 for 6 months post-partum after both kids.

I would also think that wearing something like that would not make it possible to eat a lot.

[meganew]

I have to admit that I was a little surprised at how nice a lot of people were in that thread. Like, guys she already knows she looks great- that's why she's here! Lol.

No worries. I did not have any bathroom emergencies and Miso, I pigged out. Great night with DH.

Don't know why I bothered fixing my hair. It rained so hard as soon as we got there. My hair was a mess.

The dress. Found it in a pinch at Forever 21. Loved the back of it.

Sad because my hair wilted?

She made a lot of people, myself included, feel like shit. She was completely clueless and unapologetic.

[WOUNDTIGHT]

I don't know her backstory except for recently- if she can rent a jet, why are she and her H and 4 kids living in a tiny apartment? That was my impression from the whole in-law coming to stay saga.

[cleo29]

What was the private jet for? Also, I am dying that she was able to wear a regular, non-maternity, non-flowy dress while that pregnant. lol

Really? I mean yes, abs would be nice, but I would not trade lives with her for anything, and I wouldn't let her skewed values get into my head. I honestly feel sad for a woman with 4 beautiful children who worries about showing off her flat abs 4 months PP. Priorities, right?

Well, she is tiny.

I read the OP and stopped, now I'm only sort of sad that I didn't. 

[fryjack2]

I think they were invited onto the jet, not that it was theirs or that they had rented it.


As someone who knows that my genetic makeup (and 2 month premature delivery) contributed a HUGE part to what my post twins body looked like, I got a good laugh (and an eyeroll) out of tinybride's "belly band for 2 weeks will help you get abs like this!" post.

There is no room for a tiny full length mirror either.  Sadness.

[frkls]

i saw the thread, opened it, read the OP and then just closed it and walked away. i should have known better!

That's not what I meant.  I'm about 4 months postpartum and have been working hard with diet and exercise to get back into shape, and trying to stop feeling like shit about myself, and she waltzes in here with that shit. "Hey, buy this belt and look like me in 3 weeks!"  Yeah, no.

Well that I understand. And I said in the deleted post that I have 1000% more respect for someone working hard and eating well to try and get your body in shape than someone who would prance in and try to tell us a magic band is all you need for a perfect, tiny stomach. Don't let her get you down!!

[cleo29]

Generally, it takes a while for the body to work itself back. And some people are genetically blessed that their bodies recover much quicker and easier than most. I don't doubt that support your stomach post-partum can help your abs, but it is not a magic fix or anything.

[Deleted]

Um, guys. She's not "exercising," but she carries a baby all the time. So obviously that gives her 14 pack abs.
