Well, this milestone is a bummer.

Since the beginning of her pregnancy, meteorologist Lauren Jones has endured harsh online comments criticizing her wardrobe choices. This week, she snarkily celebrated one week -- yes, just one week -- free of body-shaming from her own viewers.

"We are celebrating today because Lauren has gone one week without someone saying something mean to her about baby weight gain," Jones's coworker John Boel wrote in a Facebook post. "That's a new record."

So far, commenters have been pretty supportive about Boel's post. Nice improvement, commenters.

We eagerly await the day when a human woman going one week without being trolled is no longer notable.
