A New Mother Who Needs a Talkin' To

I am sacrificing a full face of makeup today to write this article about what I just heard on Good Morning America while getting ready for the day. A very recent mom wrote an article about how terrible she felt after giving birth and how awful her body looked after being pregnant. She claims she is truly blessed to have a healthy baby and loves him very much, but still is so distraught about the way her body looks now.

Are you kidding me? I really can’t believe she has the nerve to write an article like this. What she may not realize is, she’s EXTREMELY lucky to be able to even become pregnant, have a pregnancy with no complications and as a result, have a beautiful, healthy child. A lot of women can’t even become pregnant these days. 

I guess I’m so frustrated by this article and segment in Good Morning America because I don’t understand why she can’t stop complaining and go do something about it. If she is so upset by the way her body looks, go work out! It’s called exercise. It’s called a gym. It's called eating healthy. She needs motivation to change her body since it is affecting her life this much. 

I understand being a new mother is hard and time consuming, but she definitely had enough time to write a very ridiculous article and post it online for everyone to see. Why doesn’t she use that time and put it towards something productive, like a work out, and spare us with the sob story. My mother was pregnant five times with my brothers and myself and she is a prime example of what a strong, smart woman would be. She worked out after every baby and she looks great today, 22 years later after giving birth to me, her last child. Honestly, she eats better and works out more than I do. My mom is hot, and wears a size smaller than me.

I just feel like the whining needs to stop, if you are really upset about how many clothes in your closet don’t fit, maybe go do something about it. Be a strong, confident woman and go do something about it.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
