Fat shaming Facebook post

I just saw a post on Facebook that said "I hate girls who blame having a child on their chubbyness....go for a run you fat lazy shits Shock
This is coming from a woman who has a natural skinny frame, bordering on too thin. She has one child.
I just can't believe the nastiness some women have about others. The post was also liked by lots of men.
I'm over weight but I'm very active and certainly not lazy. I eat too much and I use food as a comfort. I run 5ks and I'm very fit. I wish I could lose the weight...but seeing posts like that are hurtful.
Some women put a lot of weight on in pregnancy while others do not. Some people's figures return to normal quickly and others do not...ever.
I sometimes wonder why I'm not a people person and then you see stuff like that.

Aibu to think she's just a nasty cow?

The Facebook comment was lame.

However I do find it irritating when people claim that having a child inevitably makes you gain weight permanently.

Sprinklesinmyelbow if that’s your SIL’s actual height and weight she is seriously underweight.

Yes she is. That was sort of the point of the post!

I am pretty sure we all agree that weight is pretty much dictated by the amount of calories you eat! Pro athletes wouldn't be on such strict diets if the calories intake wasn't so crucial, even for people who exercise so much
