Losing that Baby Weight

Years ago I remember watching some story on teh Today Show that had to do with pregnancy.  At the time Katie Couric was still on the show and she said "it takes 9 month sto put it on.  Give yourself 9 months to take it off."  She was referring to weight gain during pregnancy.  It all sounded reasonable to me.  And now, doctors in Europe are saying the same thing.  Actually, they're saing give yourself a yar to take it all off.

We feel so much pressure these days to lose it within weeks.  We see celebrities in bikinis or skin tight clothes, looking beyond fabulous just weeks after giving birth.  it's enough to make you go insane, and feel like a loser at the same time.  But don't forget, these celebrities have nannies, personal trainers, home gyms, help at home etc.  They have plenty of people who can take care of their babies while they whip themselves back into shape.

So maybe it's time to just slow down, take a deep breath, and say, "I'll lose the weight gradually."  Remember, it took nine months to put on.  Give yourself at least that to take it off!
