Everyone is raving about it, but to me the majority of those women look really good after pregnancy and then to have comments open just causes people to rant and rave over how good they do look, rather than reveling in the changes as marks of victory. There are exceptions, but still...<BR/><BR/>It almost makes me want to volunteer, because dammit, I don't look that good, and I'm frustrated with my inability to lose a lot of the weight, but I'm generally happy with myself. And I'd do the Full Monty too, because it's not just the belly that gets doughy. They oughta have some pictures of stretched out, nursed-to-death boobs too. And stretched out back fat. All of it. <I>That's</I> the shape of a woman.<BR/><BR/>And I also don't like hearing people say "I got right back to my pre-pregnancy weight within 7 months." That's not normal, and nursing <I>doesn't</I> take the weight off. If actually keeps it on so that your body can maintain the stores of fat it needs to produce the high calorie liquid diet.<BR/><BR/>End of rant. (I don't feel strongly about this at all.)Mignonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07716330276288396317noreply@blogger.com
