Gisele Bundchen (wife of Tom Brady) is featured in this months Vogue magazine. She had her first baby back in December right around the same time that I had my little one.
She has bounced back to her pre-pregnancy body (if not better) and I’m trying to figure out why I continue to depress myself by following the post-baby celebrity pictures? She does not have my life. And I certainly do not have her abs. (sigh)

As for how she is in such great shape?
“I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds.”
I fully admit that I was a human garbage disposal and unfortunately have not stopped. Maybe seeing Gisele is the kick in the (fat) pants that I need?

Yes, she does not have your life! You’ll get to where you want to end up… But give yourself some time. My life was crazy after I had the toddler in my late 30s, and it took me a loooong time to look again like I wanted to look… Could I have done it faster? Probably. But in the end it worked all out… Plus, credit yourself for your awesome fitness accomplishments!!!!

Or she could be the INSPIRATION you need. Which ever word choice makes you less likely to pull your hair out.
Keep working, you’re getting there.

And don’t forget that lots of celebs have liposuction carried at at child birth (or so the story goes). It’s not realistic or fair to compare ourselves to super models, all abs and lifestyles aside.

Let us build our healthier life with controlled food habit,discipline, keep pace with work, rest and or exercise. While Health is the root of happiness let us build a Happier life.

But don’t forget that celebrities have a much different life. It’s eas(ier) to go to yoga three times a week and eat mindfully when you have a chef, a nanny, a mansion on gorgeous property, and a lot of money.
That said, I DO think it is important for moms to eat healthfully and exercise…and to realize that having a sleek physique isn’t the overnight phenomenon that the media makes it out to be.

Please, please, PLEASE don’t compare yourself with her!!!! She has a trainer, most likely a nanny, a chef, and a whole lot of money waiting for her when she loses the weight. And, quite frankly, she is a model and used to not eating. Because no matter what they say, models starve themselves.
I figure since I didn’t look like a supermodel before childbirth I’m def. not going to look like one after! That said, this is the same girl who said that childbirth was blissful and pain free – can we really believe anything she says???
