But with both pregnancies I put on 90+ pounds with my doctors blessing! I got critized for being 200 lbs too – what irks me the most is the people who critized me have NO IDEA what my medical history is or was. I decided to not listen to anyone but my doctors. I do what is right for me and if others don’t like it, too bad. But PLEASE keep your body size comments to yourself. I don’t need or want to hear it! The only time I comment is to tell someone they are beautiful! Because everyone is regardless of their size or shape or hair color or skin color.

If more people focused on themselves instead of critizing others constantly, we wouldn’t have so many body image issues. Take the engergy you spend on ripping others apart and use that energy to work on yourself! You will feel better about yourself and won’t have to make others feel horrible about themselves.

That being said, Milla & Ever are Beautiful! Those eyes – those lips – stunning!

Of course, I have always thought Milla was a fox. (Very few can pull of band-aids as an outfit–Fifth Element.) As a woman, though, I think it’s more her warm, silly, and not-snobbish-at-all attitude that I find most beautiful. That’s why it seems so horrible that she was treated poorly by other women.

This article just gives me another reason to like Milla…I, too, gained 70 lbs. when I was pregnant (and kept like 50 of it after DD was born because of the lifestyle change). I’ve been all sizes from obese to skinny, and back to obese and seen all of the difference in how the world treats you. It’s not just snobby women in boutiques. EVERYONE does, whether you realize it or not.

I can’t recall being sneered at personally but, in general, people tend to not look fatter women in the eye. Less people greet you or smile at you. People tend to not hold the door open for you, etc.

On the other hand, when you’re thin, the guy standing on the other side of the gas pump will fall all over himself, trying to strike up a conversation!

And nobody is trying to JUSTIFY gaining too much weight. Nobody does it on purpose but sometimes it just happens for whatever reason. It’s not always gluttony and sloth that gets you in these situations and that attitude is exactly the prejudice we’re talking about.

I can actually confer that this does happen. I was obese for a period of my life and I have def seen what Milla is talking about first hand. Especially in the high end stores. I always got the impression that the clerks were actually offended you even came into their store! It was absolutely vile. I don’t know if it’s just in NYC or bigger cities or what! But I do know that I have also had friends experience this as well.
