And as far as Bethanie Garcia is concerned, let the haters hate. She is perfectly comfortable in her body.

Garcia, of Gilbert, Arizona, posted a celebratory photo of herself and three friends who had also recently given birth in an Instagram post after the four women became friends online, KNXV reported.

"We received over 2,000+ messages and comments filled with hate," Garcia told the television station.

“Posts like this bother me. Not losing the weight is a choice,” one person wrote.

“Photos like this tear women apart,”⠀another poster wrote.

“Is this an advertisement for why women should get tummy tucks?”was another comment left on Garcia’s Instagram post.⠀

Garcia said she and her friends are ignoring the “haters and trolls,” adding she has also received plenty of positive feedback.

"It's a shame that the point has been completely missed by some of the people that have taken time out of their day to comment," Garcia wrote on Instagram. "The point being: the four of us have been friends online for a long time and finally met IRL and took a last minute photo together...of our different postpartum body types … to show that all body types are beautiful."
