Her husband “watches” the baby while she goes to the gym? That’s his baby too. He doesn’t “watch” or “babysit” his own child, he cares for him. He should be caring for his own child on a regular basis, but it doesn’t sound like it. But then, what can you expect from these two? They’re a pair of shallow reality show contestants.

At three months post-partum, that layer of fat on her belly is supposed to be going directly into her breast milk.

I was thinking the same thing: nature provides a little extra fat to be sure we can nourish a baby.

And Trista, honey, whatever you do, don’t have twins. Even a year later, my stomach is basically a waterbed covered in loose crepe paper. Not that I love it or anything, it’s just between my three kids and husband and job and LIFE, I don’t have much time for fretting about it. My advice? Find something meaningful to do with your time, for example, taking care of your child.

I have an almost 5 month old, and recently been feeling very crappy about my size 14 butt and thighs that don’t seem to fit into anything sold at any store anywhere, and dreaming about when I used to be a size 10 and fit into size medium.

What has now distracted me (besides my delightful baby) is ALL MY HAIR IS FALLING OUT. Balding is much more disconcerting than only having one pair of pants to wear. Miss Too Fat At Size Four is in for the worst surprise of her life in about a month, she is going to need a big hat to go along with that bigger bathing suit!!!

At three months post-partum, that layer of fat on her belly is supposed to be going directly into her breast milk. The fastest way she could lose that weight is to nurse her baby. I’m not interested enough in her to find out if she is, but given the airhead quotes I’ve read, I’d bet she isn’t.

This is just all-around sad, that this woman places such a premium on her looks that it has warped her judgment. It’s made worse that her husband has also bought into it, and that Us has given her a megaphone.

I’ll tell you what, she’d better not have any more babies then. Because the more you have, the more they have their way with your body. (Experience speaking: mother of seven here.) If she’s this crazy after one, she’d better be done.

[...] Trista Sutter, celebrity mom, self-hating whale (TeenyManolo) [...]

Oh ick. Ick. ICK. I’m having trouble deciding what I think is most loathsome. Is it the “Before baby” photo with the arrow pointing to her sculpted abs? Is it the idea that 116 pounds is “not thin”? Is it the suggestion that finger wagging is supportive? Or the suggestion that any man who claims to find a woman sexy at three months post partum must be lying?

New moms don’t need this crap. They need to eat, the way normal human beings do, probably more than average, certainly more than enough to diet down to a size two. But if Trista is really determined to lose the baby weight, my advice to her is this: get a stomach virus. Mine has knocked me down to what I weighed when I graduated college. Not the same shape, certainly not the same energy level, and personally, I’d rather weigh five pounds more and *not* feel like crap, but to each their own, right?

gemdiva- Agreed, she needs an appointment with a shrink.

Margaret- Yes, I find them equally annoying.

ML- She certainly places too high of a premium on her looks.

Beenzzz- A swift kick to the goodie bags just might set that guy straight! Ryan, that is, not your hubs!

dgm- Succint, but well said.

AM- More men than you think place a very high premium on the looks of their partners. It’s kind of scary, actually.

Twistie- Losing weight because you don’t feel good is one thing, as you state. Losing weight because you can’t bounce a quarter off your abs right after having a kid is a whole other ball o’ wax.

Melissa- I do feel a bit sorry for her as well, that her self-worth is so tied up in her looks.

Nance- I am positive they dressed her purposely in something frumpy. She looks pretty good to me, even in the sweat pant-y pajama-y outfit.

J- Yes, I’m sure their son will be coached into extreme fitness at an early age.

rain- I’m not sure she has that much in there to suck out.

She is, indeed, the poster girl for the shallow end of the gene pool. The poor kid looks like he’s making a break for it. Go, kid, go!

But boy, what a whale, eh? Size four! She can lose four or five pesky ounces by having her brain sucked out through her nostrils, and she’ll never miss it!
