Ugh, her job is to sell clothes and she didn't do a very good job!

I actually LOLed because of how absurd that is!

Uuuuggghh! As if a pp woman needs that! I commiserate with you. I'm having a really hard time finding clothing for work. My belly is just blah and none of my pants fit in the waist but the next biggest size is too big in the butt and thighs!

Holy hell, what a totally crazy ass rude thing to say! Ok lady, lets see if you are doing cross fit when you are 4 week pp?!

I recommend Gap jeans, by the way. I think the ones I like best pp are called "perfect bootcut". I can check tomorrow.

@coopsmama: I wonder if the clerk reads the Carrots'n'Cake blog? That particular blogger was back working out at 2-3 weeks pp and full on crossfitting by six!!

What a bitch- I would have let her manager have it.

I would complain. That is in no way ok.... ever, postpartum or not.

WTF, I would write Macy's corporate, that's so rude and unacceptable. Not part of her job description at all!

I'm not a complainer and that would definitely make me complain to the manager

It probably wasn't a commentary on you or your body as much as it was an attempt to recruit you to Crossfit. Some of the Crossfitters I know are absolutely FANATICAL about it, it's like a cult, and they'll say anything to get people to start.

P.S. This is a generalization based on people I know personally and I know not everyone who does Crossfit is like this so no need to flame me in comments.

Yeah I'm not one to complain to the manager about every little thing, but that is wildly inappropriate an I would speak to a manager. You seem to be taking it very well but that could e really devastating to someone who is having a hard time already.

And I'm not even mentioning the fact that you aren't even allowed to exercise until six weeks at the earliest. Ugh!

What an asshat. Sorry that happened to you

1) totally rude and inappropriate. Why would she say that?! So dumb!
2) DH has friends that own a crossfit gym, and we joke that they forgot the "leg days" in their schedule because they are all super buff on top but their legs are just sticks. So, once again, she is dumb (not saying all cross fitters are that way but a lot we see are!)

Omg that is horrible!

I had something similar though not as bad. Both babies, my mom came to visit and took me shopping after. The first time, I tried on a flowy cardigan that hit at the hips that would be good for nursing. I mentioned to my mom I felt like I looked fat (duh, I was 8 days pp!) She asked the saleslady mentioning I just had a baby. She said, "it does make you look wide."

Second time, same store I was trying to decide between dress sizes, worrying the bigger one wouldn't fit as I lost weight. My mom asked the girl what their return policy was, mentioning I just had a baby. The girl explained it, but just kinda stared. No "that size looks better on you." Or "congratulations!" I felt like crying both times, I was feeling so blah about myself.

Not saying people had to be nice to me just cause I was PP, but isn't "you look great!" retail sales 101?

after you punched her lights out...did you find the pants?

That is awful. I would've asked to speak to her manager. Totally unacceptable.

@coopsmama: whoa. The nerve! I hope she really thought about what she said afterwards.
