REALLY...AGAIN

Are you shitten me! Sometimes People magazine does this Body After Baby section, it’s usually just a one pager but highlighted are the short amount of weeks it took a celebrity to get back into shape after giving birth. That’s right a celebrity…a celebrity who has total access to a personal trainer, nannies, personal assistants, personal chefs, housekeepers and stylists. Come on do you really think we are idiots???? If your everyday woman who just gave birth had this much help she too could bounce back quickly. Instead you post these articles that make your everyday new mom think what the f it has been 3 months for me and I don’t fit in my pre-baby jeans yet!

It’s maddening, I mean really a woman has just gone thru some serious changes ya know growing a baby in  her body, yet once she has given birth she is expected to look fantastic..it’s 2010 folks are we actually saying that women are still here purely for beauty??!! It’s almost comical looking at this page in People, first you have Padma Lakshmi, she is host of Top Chef, next to her post baby body photo is “4 weeks after!” Then there is Camila Alves, married to Matthew McConaughey, who stuck to a 40 day no exercise rule yet looks fantastic “9 weeks after!”, well that’s enough to make you want to punch yourself! The real kicker though is Gisele Bundchen, yep the Victoria Secret model, can we be more unrealistic! She is a freaken model she is in the business to always look good so her being in shape right after giving birth not a shocker nor does it need to be highlighted! Boy let me tell you if you have just given birth and you read that right after giving birth Gisele fit into her pre baby jeans wouldn’t that just be so inspiring…..uhhhh no! What  makes this story Wonderful? Celebrities live in la la land so left without all the help they too would take a year to get their bodies back!
