anyone see it - did I just see mumsnet? Just flashed up on screen when she was searching the net.

This programme is annoying me, Louise wingeing about maybe not being slim enough to fit in to undies for a catalogue underwear shoot 9 weeks after a c-section. FFS your lucky to be pregnant get a grip.

It's making me too. I don't understand why people would be so hung up about their post-baby body when they've got a beautiful newborn baby to look after. Who gives a fuck if you've got a saggy belly?

Any having surgery? It's pathetic.

blossombelle · 26/03/2009 21:52

why are the 'normal' people being held up as unusual? These women are all like my fellow baby friends - NORMAL BODIES - its the slebs that are abnormal!

Don't know why shes panicing, she'll be airbrushed to a size 6 anyway.

SatHereSitting · 26/03/2009 21:58

I used to like her but now I just want to slap her, silly cow. Why doesn't she just say no to the shoot, I bet she'll look great as well

shonaspurtle · 26/03/2009 21:59

This appears to be a straight remake of a programme I saw 1? 2? years ago with woman out of Steps who had the braces.

She also "had" to go for a bikini shoot about 8 weeks after giving birth and so made a documentary about the "issues" involved, plastic surgery blah blah while managing to completely ignore the obvious solution: look after your newborn baby and yourself rather than spending all your time in the gym woman.

Well thats an hour of my life i'll never get back. Off to watch Greys.

EmmaBridgewater956 · 26/03/2009 22:00

Am amazed the non-eating woman managed to have a baby of a normal weight. perhaps they shouldn't have told us that bit..

Ceebee74 · 26/03/2009 22:01

Well I nearly threw the remote control at the telly when she sat in her hotel room saying that it was important to her to return to her normal self but that she also realised that she shouldn't rush it - does she not realise how stupid that actually sounds when she has signed up to an underwear shoot so soon after giving birth and has been dieting and working out like mad???

feedthegoat · 26/03/2009 22:03

Tbh I don't know why I expected anything different from ITV but I honestly thought it was going to be nagative towards this kind of attitude.

Pregnant celebrities annoy he hell out of me. They all go on during their pg about not being bothered about losing the baby weight...but then more often than not pose in a bikini for a glossy magazine weeks after the birth stating 'it's all down to breastfeeding and healthy eating'.

Ok, maybe I'm a bit but to be honest, I've cut out alcohol, I don't smoke so if I have to give up biscuits too then what's the point??!

SmallShips · 26/03/2009 22:04

She just came across a thick and shallow.

Sidge · 26/03/2009 22:05

I think Mel C was the only one who spoke any sense in that programme.

She was spot on - you can't drink, there's so much you can't eat so have some cake!

blossombelle · 26/03/2009 22:05

anyone else notice the only image we saw of her from the shot was a one that looked like it had been retouched?
bravo louise, brave, insightful journalism has eluded you again, and you have managed to perpetuate the myth for another day

EmmaBridgewater956 · 26/03/2009 22:05

Herbie - it just seems incredible what the body can do...on her apple every two days. I hope her baby isn't affected in the long term from the lack of nutrients etc

SmallShips · 26/03/2009 22:10

It was MN, i hit the rewind button on the Sky+. Hope she checks back for the reviews.

coochicoo · 26/03/2009 22:18

I thought it looked retouched too blossom.

That gets me too, all the pictures of celebs in their bikinis/underwear weeks after birth almost certainly are airbrushed, so even though they've done a good job getting back into shape, it's still not good enough for the media. We're never ever shown true pictures of women, and if we do ever see cellulite or similar it's always it Heat's 'ring of shame'.

funtimewincies · 27/03/2009 12:21

What does it matter if pictures are airbrushed or celebrities 'feel pressured'? They are in no way a reflection of my life, my aspirations or my sense of self-worth.

I appreciate that being a celebrity is what these people do for a living, but that is in no way connected with real life. I don't get it because I suppose that I don't give a toss .

I think that including women with eating disorders was a bit of a red herring. Comparing women with a medical condition alongside shallow media bimbos is a bit .

elsiepiddock · 27/03/2009 12:35

What a load of nonsense this was.

Louise contradicted herself all the way through, it made me very cross.

I agree, Mel C was the only sensible person on there - bet she wont be jetting of to LA without her newborn.

Louise said 'babies are totally dependent on you for everything at this age' just before she buggered off witout him

Nabster · 27/03/2009 12:38

She did another programme about getting really small and liked how she looked.

ronshar · 27/03/2009 12:49

I wanted to watch the programme as I normally like LR. Sounds like I was right to miss it.
She obviously isnt breast feeding or she wouldnt have been able to leave her baby at home. So how has she lost her wieght???

elsiepiddock · 27/03/2009 12:54

this is the website she promoted for embracing our stretch marks

smallorange · 27/03/2009 12:56

A friend is quite a successful actress and she had a baby a few years ago. She gained a fair amount of weight (size 16 afterwrds, yes I know ) and then lost it over about three months.

Healthy easting and breastfeeding, I don't think so. Starvation and bottlefeeding after two months - try it, it works.

She is a lone parent though and had to keep working so signed up for some TV thing in which she had to get her kit off so the pressure was on, I suppose.
