This is a shout-out to my young friend Jess. I saw her when
she brought her kids into the nursery at church yesterday. She looked fabulous!
She had done it! She had lost all of her baby weight! She told me (and I’ve
heard the same lies for years) so many women told her that she just wouldn’t be
able to do it, that your body just keeps the pounds on, that you can’t work and
diet off baby weight…..they are such awful old wives’ tales, downright lies. No
wonder women let their bodies go after having a baby.
But Jess did it and she is so thrilled that she did the
work. She told me, “Besides wanting it for me, I really want to be a fit and
athletic mom for the girls.” And she wanted to do it for her husband. I was so
happy to hear that. The women who don’t do the work never look like the women
their husbands married. I wonder if those husbands silently harbor great
disappointment.
Jess, you look beautiful and fit and active and I am proud
of you!! You are glowing!
