No really, thank you Alyssa Milano! The actress just opened up about her struggle to lose the baby weight and how frankly, women shouldn’t feel this pressure!
“I didn’t feel pressure from within the industry,” she says. “Any pressure that I felt was from seeing other celebrities get down to their [pre-]baby weight in two weeks, and I know that for me that’s just not in my makeup, biologically. There is no way I could have dropped all the baby weight in two weeks, I don’t know how they do it!”
No really, how do they do it"! We don’t mean any disrespect to celeb moms, but they often make it look so easy to lose the weight?which maybe it was for them, but that’s not the case for everyone. So frankly it’s nice to hear that even Alyssa feels the pressure. And that she said screw it and lost the baby weight her own way and on her own timeline. The mom of two gave herself a realistic goal of 18 months to get back to her “happy weight.”
“It’s the weight where you feel happy,” she explains. “I couldn’t call it a goal weight, because there’s so many variables you don’t really know what a goal weight is, especially when you’re 43 and just had a baby. I don’t know if I’m going to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I’m breastfeeding also, that’s a big part of it, so I just call it my happy weight...
