Celeb Post-Baby Weight Debate
Maybe Hollywood is a far more magical place than anyone thought. How else to explain the way celebrity moms seem to bounce back to their pre-baby weight overnight? Unfortunately, the intense pressure to look camera-ready just weeks after giving birth isn't an issue only for the stars -- the scrutiny has trickled down to us mere-mortal moms too. Even if you don't make your living off your looks, it's easy to get caught up in the new postpartum weight-loss obsession. But should any new mother subject herself to these extreme diet-and-exercise plans? (Never mind that virtually none of us get a Hollywood-size paycheck to afford the necessary trainer/personal chef/nutritionist trifecta.) How safe is it to lose multiple dress sizes in just a month or two? We took a look at what some stars did to lose their baby weight -- then asked an expert for a reality check.

I love this story, we are all aware that Hollywood is a crazy fairyland were most of us DON'T live. We need to feel comfortable with our bodies, and most media doesn't allow that. Remeber these celebs are paid BIG bucks to look fabulous, I'd love to have money for the trainer/personal chef/nutritionist "trifecta". Well written, we need more realistic stories like this!
4/11/2011 12:59:46 PM Report AbuseI am conducting dissertation research to examine how postpartum moms are affected by the portrayal of postpartum celebrities in the media. I would like to invite mothers who have had their first child in the last 0-12 months to visit: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/postpartumbodyimage to complete a survey on this topic and enter a drawing for a $20 Target gift card. Thank you!
