New mom Lauren Bushnell doesn't have time for the haters. The Bachelor alum recently shared a series of posts on her Instagram story, describing how she deals with people who criticize her for her weight. We have to admit it, we're here for her direct approach!
Lauren addressed comments she's received online
The reality star said she gets a lot of criticism online
It sounds like this is hardly the first time that Lauren has faced not-so-kind comments from strangers. "I wish I had my pregnancy booty but I don't, and apparently some people on the internet don't like that," her post continued.
"I eat healthy (in fact I usually out eat my husband, but these messages don't wanna hear that haha). I think what makes me most sad is as a new mom I've given my baby everything, including my body, but still get messages criticizing it."
All of the comments about her weight even prompted Lauren to see her doctor
After hearing about how skinny she was from so many people, Lauren decided to check with her doctor and make sure everything was OK. "I'm all for getting bloodwork done [especially] post-baby [because] they drain a ton of nutrients. But reading messages [about] my weight was making me believe there was something wrong with me," she wrote. The good news is that Lauren is fine — "just a little low" on vitamin D.
Lauren ended her posts with a request on behalf of all moms
She wanted to make sure that other new moms don't feel the same way she felt, so she ended her series of posts with a call to action, writing that society shouldn't comment on women's bodies in the postpartum period because there's so much to it and "a tremendous amount of emotion" that comes along with all of it.
She's not wrong. Hopefully her words prompt some people to stop making comments of any kind about women's bodies.
