Taking to Instagram, she said she  gained 60 lbs. during a recent hospitalization with life-threatening double pneumonia"

She said it happened a month before she had appeared with her daughter on the cover of Entrepreneur magazine.

"I wasn't ever going to discuss this, but I knew when the Entrepreneur cover came out comments on my weight were going to be DM'd to me," Teefey started in the caption.

"I just posted a polite offer instead of the name calling," Teefey wrote. "But, I was out of the hospital for maybe 3 1/2 weeks from double pneumonia. I was told I had days to live. I had miracle Drs. and love from my family and friends to keep me going. I fought. The Drs. fought and I was one of the few who made it out."
