    What the actual EFF?!?! I hope you complain, that is so totally wrong. Good work shaming a fellow woman too there sales associate, one day she might be a mom and I hope that no one makes her feel shitty about herself for that, although she would hopefully realize how it feels if ever someone did.

    @78h2o: I looked those jeans up and they look like they might be a good fit for my new body! We don't have Gap in our small town but we do in a neighboring one so I need to get over there to check them out! Thanks for the recommendation.

    And to everyone else, honestly I was so flabbergasted by the comment that I didn't even think to speak to a manager! I just smiled and nodded and then went on to explain that I have diastasis which requires special exercises and sometimes even surgery to fix - that Cross Fit definitely wouldn't help! I am annoyed by myself that I felt I needed to explain my situation after her stupid, thoughtless comment.

    Thankfully, I've always had relatively good self image when it comes to my body and the postpartum period hasn't changed that too much - it is what it is after having 2 babies. So I wasn't too hurt by her comment, just more shocked by the insensitivity. I think it's hard for people to understand how hard body changes can be after pregnancy. I probably should have said something to her just so she doesn't make the same mistake twice!!

    Wow, what part of "just gave birth" did she not understand?!
