Is the postpregnancy body the new weapon of choice among superfit women? Yes, charge critics of Norwegian soccer wife and fitness blogger Caroline Berg Eriksen, who posted a flat-stomach, bra-and-panties selfie to her 245,000 Instagram followers just four days after giving birth.
"This is not a selfie. This is an act of war," writes one Australian blogger in response to the image — just one of many blogs, news outlets, body image experts, and social-media commenters around the world to weigh in on the matter in the past few days, putting the photo at the center of a major online body image controversy. "This whole situation has become ludicrous. The competition for women to give birth and then immediately remove any trace from their their bodies that they ever carried a child is OBSCENE. There is no other word for it." Another blogger calls the photo of Eriksen, who is married to pro soccer player Lars-Kristian Eriksen, "wildly provocative."
Eriksen posted the photo of herself on Instagram, along with the caption, "I feel so empty…4 days after birth," igniting the online backlash. Twitter users called Eriksen and her washboard abs "intimidating," "unhelpful," "obviously a freak," and "unfair to all women."
Australian Telegraph writer Sarrah Le Marquand offers a mixed review of the situation, tweeting that yes, Eriksen is a "shameless exhibitionist," but warning in her column that "slamming the super-fit and genetically freakish likes of Berg Eriksen is merely another form of judgment and mothers are forced to contend with far too much of that already."
On Instagram itself, the controversial photo has been "liked" more than 21,000 times, and comments have been overwhelmingly positive. There, supporters note, "U rock girl! I have three kids and I'm a blimp," "Body envy is an ugly thing," "I applaud you," and "Beautiful!"
It's all just the latest online blowup in the ongoing discussion about pregnancy and body image. Mother and fitness blogger Maria Kang polarized Facebook readers twice recently first for posting a hyper-fit photo of herself and asking, "What's your excuse?" and then for criticizing plus-size women for posing proudly in their lingerie. Australian mom-to-be Loni Jane Anthony recently spoke out about her raw vegan diet, prompting critics to publicly ponder whether her lifestyle was harming her baby.
The scrutinizing narrative about celebrities and other women's postbaby bodies, meanwhile, is ongoing, with new moms from Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi to Kate Middleton getting caught in the fray.

Waits for chicks to start hating...
-
I notice that stretched stomach skin.
-
Her baby probably didn't get enough nutrients, it will be ? , and weak.
-
More pics of the mom are needed in order to make a proper post.
-
I'm not a 'hater' by far, but that seems a bit unrealistic for certain people. Some women just let themselves go during their pregnancy. Some just don't take fitness/their health serious enough to do something about it.
It's motivation for my fat ass. I'm working hard to get this weight off. -
Man....why do people even give a ? about this kinda ? ?
-
SMASH on her mouth tho... that ? is still destroyed
-
chicks now get the fat operation right after birth....i heard something about it an dont know all the details.
-
People mad cause they're lower on the hierarchy than other people

How we even know that was AFTER the baby? Could be years old for all I know. This hit ain't news.

She's blessed to have a body that bounces back so well but these attempts to shame other women are catty and kinda sad.
-
She's a fitness blogger tho.
Her only concern was losing the weight.
She probably breastfeeds too.
Now..the one who's a vegan needs to tlk to her doc to see if she can do that and not cause any harm to the bby. I'm sure she's missing some nutrients or something. -
People hate fit people.
That's why they Started calling fat women ? like curvy and real women. ? disgusting. -
She is a fitness blogger, she is setting the bar. Women can aspire to reach it or duck under it eating a cheeseburger.

Look at old art and illustrations, "fat" (average) women have been the norm for centuries.
If anything this extreme fitness is whats relatively new. -

There is always a hierarchy. We love sorting people into groups and ranking them from best to worst. It's how we pick who we sleep with, what we buy and even who we listen to.
They should be mad at the game not the player -

cause TRUTH HURTS. We have to look outside the body of this woman. Matter of fact, we must look at the message ' its possible to be in shape after pregnancy, pregnancy is not a body Terminator, its people way of living'.
Uneducated people will not believe that. My mom had 6 children she s not fat , not a billionaire, didnt have a sport nor diet coach nor google and was living in Africa : she acquired knowledge.
Occidental fatness, masculine and feminin , is Due most of the time to lack of diet knowledge and the pressure of junk food industries.

Fatso broads went nuts after Maria Kang posted pics of her and her kids... fatsos will continue to make more excuses after seeing this... this ? is NOT fat shaming... fat people are just ashamed of themselves and want a scapegoat (to eat)
