I think this supports the point that the "author" (some uneducated lady at her computer is not worthy of title author
) is not trying to inform people but find a platform for her self absorbed bubble headed thoughts and spew negativity towards those that she puts down to make herself feel superior. This woman should not be used as any place for reference for anything, other than how to be a vain as$hat. An article about how important it is to maintain a healthy weight while pregnant and stay active should not be centrally focused around the writers self absorbed attitude and judgments.
I think this lady is lazy because she cant get her loser butt to school to actually learn about the topic she is preaching about. We live in a culture of people now more than ever thanks to online that read a few blogs and google some quick info on their smart phones and now think they are health experts. In this new culture, people think their opinion is important and worthy of being heard, and we have this asinine saying that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the truth is not all opinions are equal or even valid. Our new self important culture lets people like this women think that her inner thoughts of vanity and judgments towards other women deserve to be written down and read by the general public. And thanks to the internet, bozos like this lady now have a way to put their uneducated thoughts out there, further validating their own sense of self importance.
This culture of "what I have to say is important because I think it" needs to stop. But it won't unfortunately. Every moron out there can now start a webpage, blog or post unfounded stuff on the facebook page. Gone are the days when people learned that some things are better left unsaid. The internet, IMO, shows at times the darkness of humanity. So full of all those toxic thoughts that no one will say to someone's face.
The internet has skewed the minds of people into thinking that being open, honest and forthcoming must be done with harshness and judgment. Also the internet has glorified this narcissistic attitude through things like selfies. We have over shot feeling good about one's self and landed into a generation of young people that think that every thing they eat, do, say, feel, and think is worth of public display.
I am almost 34. I did not have the internet growing up. And while I heard of it through late high school. it wasn't something people did. In my early 20s AOL instant messenger existed (AIM) but again, not everyone had access to a computer (I didn't) and the internet wasn't a place to promote yourself. It was mainly where people downloaded free music (because you could do that then). Cell phones started becoming pretty popular in my mid 20s but the idea of iPhones and selfies and facebooking everything didn't really take off until around after I had my first baby. Well, facebook came first, then the popular iPhone, now making it possible to share EVEYTHING you do at EVERY moment since you no longer had to wait to get back home to your computer. I am the last generation to grow up not thinking that every time I eat a sandwich I thought was good, or think the person in front of me in line isn't dress the way I approve, that I should take a picture and share it with the world, or write a blog about it.
My point it, this blog post is no more than someone that knows nothing about a subject insulting others and venting about her thoughts on the topic along with how much she loves herself. This is not education. This is not inspiration. This is not a straight forward message. This is a troll that took the time to put her thoughts into writing because she thinks her thoughts are worthy of that.
I do not disagree by any means that excessive weight gain during pregnancy is a problem. I have been fortunate that my weight gain has never been a problem for me (GD or high BP). But it can definitely cause many health issues for mom and baby. I think health care providers need to continue to reach out to expecting women and educated them, and doctor need to work with their patients to council them on weighty management throughout pregnancy.
Unless this lady is out there doing the work to reach people, and that means closing the laptop and getting off her arse to actually do some work to help someone, then I don't think she's really passionate about anything other than herself.
