Got Quads?

If I see one more photo of a stick thin celebrity who’s back to her stick thin size just weeks after giving birth (think Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, etc.) I think I’ll gag. That’s way too much pressure to put on your average new mother. If all new moms had the money and access to a personal trainer and a nanny I think we would all look darn good in just a few weeks after giving birth. Don’t try to tell me they lost all that weight simply by breast feeding. If that were the case, weight-obsessed women everywhere would be getting pregnant just so they could breast feed. I get that celebrities make their money based on their looks, so I don’t necessarily blame them for getting back into shape as fast as they can. I just wish certain publications wouldn’t bombard us with how great they look three weeks after giving birth. Most new moms are doing good to make it to the shower on a daily basis three weeks after giving birth and few have the time or energy to focus on being sculpted and toned. I don’t hate those celebrities for being beautiful… I just wish they’d keep the baby weight on a little longer! Jessica Alba, however, does earn some kudos. She said this week it was a girdle and not a trainer that had her looking svelte weeks after child birth. At least she’s willing to share some “secrets” with all new moms.
