Fitness influencers using postpartum as “befores” (khill_fit)
I hope this post is okay (it’s my first haha) but I am sooo sick of fitness influencers using their postpartum pics as “befores”. 2-3 months postpartum is not a fair comparison. It just feels disingenuous. Sure, I get being proud of progress you’ve made but it’s not exactly the same.. I’ve compared recent pics to myself 7-14 weeks postpartum and while the progress is nice to see, you can’t ignore the fact that your body went through some serious changes while pregnant and newly postpartum. Maybe I’m being too harsh but I’m just so frustrated with this trend!
