Need quick thoughts on Celebs losing weight v quickly post pregnancy/and not putting much on during - how do we feel about this?

I don't want to know one way or the other. am fed up of the constant focus in media and sleb mags about who has put on/not put on weight and the routine question to new sleb mothers about what they are eating/baby weight.

I've never met anyone who has said "I'm trying to lose my jellybelly to look like Posh" I did meet someone who said, "It is much easier to eat wagon wheels for breakfast rather than faff with cereal, bowls, milk, which is why I still have a jellybelly"...

I think it's sad for them and their children if they feel under pressure to be in shape double quick time, but I don't feel it has any bearing on my life whatsoever.

To be honest, that first six months to a year after having DS, I was so wrapped up in him and being a mum, that I didn't care about much else!

But then I don't read celebrity magazines. Ever.

Well, perhaps at the dentists'.

I think the magazines are irresponsible. I don't give a monkeys whether ms c list celeb has a flat tum 3 seconds after giving birth but I am fairly sure that there are women out there who do care and who do feel huge and very unhealthy pressure to lose baby weight quickly

same as peppermint patty

i didn't excercise at all in any pregnancy but after ds1 i did spiral back into ED's BECAUSE celebs were so thin days afterwards and i kept being asked why i hadn't lost the weight.

I couldn't really care to be honest.

I just think thank God I'm not a 'celebrity' and don't have to worry about such things. I've never felt any pressure myself.

I feel no pressure. The life of a celebrity bares absolutely no resemblance to my life, so I don't really compare myself to them.

And I avoid celebrity magazines

Frankly I find all those celebrity types so divorced from my reality, that it doesn't affect me at all, anymore than it worries me that Jo of the Chalet School could pop out triplets without putting on any weight.

Ugh. Just realised the article was from the Mail. Women can't win then.

Well, I kept getting hassled for having a bump and nothing else. (Growth checks etc) Lost loads of weight within seconds of starting breastfeding, and am a size 8 after 4 kids, so, up to them. I'm healthy, the babies were normal weights - i don't feel any pressure to lose weight, it just happens. Plus, it is their job to look good - look at the pasting they get it Heat etc for looking a bit lumpy. As long as the babies aren't starved (unlikely) I don't care.
