If It Wasn’t Stolen, I Really Don’t Care How That Celebrity “Got Her Body Back”

Hey there! So, you know that feeling when you see those magazine covers flaunting celebrities who claim they’ve “got their body back” after having a baby? It’s wild, right? One magazine proclaims, “Body Back After Baby!” while another shouts, “How I Got My Body Back!” Seriously, what does that even mean? Was their body taken like a lost pet? Did they really get it all back? I mean, have they checked thoroughly? Maybe they’re missing a toe or something!

What should really be on the cover is, “I’m on a Magazine Cover Because an Editor Chose to Fuel an Unhealthy Obsession with Speedy Post-Baby Weight Loss!” Because let’s be real, it’s a rush to lose that baby weight. Just look at Sasha, that supermodel who made headlines for shedding pounds in just two months after giving birth. She said she started exercising just two weeks postpartum—even after a C-section! Can you imagine wanting to hit the gym just two weeks after major surgery? “Forget the stitches, let’s get back to crunches!”

Then there’s Jenna, who’s basically a tabloid regular when it comes to her post-baby body. In an issue of a popular magazine, she shared her bikini pics and claimed, “I wasn’t focused on getting my body back.” But, surprise! Six months later, she confessed that she had actually been on some crazy diet. She even joked about how her publicist told her what to say about her weight loss.

Why does this matter? Well, it matters because real women—non-celebrities—are watching and feeling pressured to lose weight fast when they should be focusing on caring for their babies and themselves. New moms experience enough stress without adding the pressure of looking perfect in a bikini. Did you know 10 to 20 percent of new moms deal with postpartum depression or anxiety? I’ve been there with my kids, and let me tell you, it’s tough. It’s downright absurd that we’re glorifying women just because they lost weight quickly.

Thanks to social media, we’re bombarded with images of these celebrities shedding pounds after childbirth. Just recently, Ava, another big name, posted a pic of her scale on Instagram, and it went viral. “Ava Celebrates Reaching 120 Pounds After Third Baby!” Wow, she hit a number on the scale—good for her, I guess!

And then, there was this model who posted a picture of herself in her underwear while eight and a half months pregnant. The title read, “Pregnant Model Flaunts Insane Pregnancy Abs.” What even are pregnancy abs? Seriously, it’s become a trend to have these so-called abs while pregnant! What’s next? We’ll long for the days when celebrities were just trying to get their bodies back after having babies instead of flaunting perfect pregnancy figures.

So, let’s take a step back and focus on what truly matters: supporting new moms, encouraging self-care, and embracing the beautiful chaos of motherhood.
