*A Slate columnist [[http://bangordailynews.com/2012/07/07/living/30-pounds-in-three-years-dont-blame-the-baby/?ref=mostReadBoxLiving scolded]] an emotionally abused trophy wife for inviting her husband\\\'s displeasure by \\\"letting herself go\\\" and gaining weight after having a child. The woman\\\'s size? 5\\\'5\\\" and 145 pounds, which is within the normal and healthy range by BMI standards.

The actual column, [[http://bangordailynews.com/2012/07/07/living/30-pounds-in-three-years-dont-blame-the-baby/?ref=mostReadBoxLiving here]], is about a husband who isn\\\'t attracted to his wife anymore after she gained weight. Nowhere does it say in the that she\\\'s an \\\"emotionally abused trophy wife.\\\"

The columnist also directly says, \\\"It’s true you are not at an alarming weight for your height. But 30 extra pounds in a short amount of time is concerning. I assume you don’t plan to put on 10 pounds a year for the foreseeable future, which would fairly quickly land you in the unhealthy area.\\\" It\\\'s clear that the columnist doesn\\\'t find weighing 145 lbs at 5\\\'5\\\" a problem in itself, but moreso the rapid change and potential for further weight gain. The columnist also urges the wife to figure out if there\\\'s another cause of concern, like depression, behind these changes, despite her new weight not being unhealthy in itself. The weight itself is never stated to be a problem.

Anyway, the trope is supposed to be about \\\'\\\'media\\\'\\\' labeling normal-sized characters fat, while here it\\\'s a personal problem between a husband and a wife.
