Galit Breen wrote an article called "12 Secrets Happily Married Women Know." In it, she included some of her favorite wedding photos. The pictures were gorgeous, but some commenters could only focus on her weight.
One commenter said, "One thing you didn't learn is, 'Don't marry a heifer.'" Another said, “We get it! Huffnpuff… you love fat women… enough is enough.”
Everyone ignored the article and commented on the fact that Galit's husband is smaller in size than she. Galit cried for days after reading the comments.
"I cried for the words flashing through my mind — fat, ugly, heifer — and I cried for the way that I averted my eyes whenever I passed a mirror," Galit wrote on xoJane. "I cried trying to figure out what my husband thought reading, seeing, feeling those words and how they would make him read, see, and feel about me. I cried for my daughters seeing those words said about their mom or ever hearing them, or even worse thinking them, about themselves."
Her husband Jason was quick to defend his wife.
"It was really a sense of helplessness. I take pride in protecting my family and being there for them and when something like that is written, any loving husband is going to feel hurt," he told Inside Edition's Diane McInerney.
"I just don't think we need to be talking about people's bodies in that way. We can all just do better and be kind to each other," Galit said.
