I have this obsessive knack for following celeb gossip. I shouldn't compare my life to those driving around the Hollywood Hills in their 6-figure cars and endless nannies and assistants in tow, but I do it any way. I mean, my beater of a car gets me from point A to point B just fine, even if the check engine and service lights are blinking at me every time I turn the ignition on. Did I mention I have this wicked knack for ignoring important warning lights in my car as well?
So when I came across this picture of Giselle vacationing in Costa Rica in a bikini exposing her baby bump I about fell out of my chair.
Her belly which is growing another human being growing inside is smaller than mine and I AM NOT PREGNANT.
Holy Matthew Mark Luke and John...hold my horse while I get ON!
Ok, so she's some fab-u super model, and I'm just the girl next door, but...
I run my fucking ass off 4-5 times a week, and I still can't shed the extra tube-age around my effing waist line.
I'm just sayin'...
Life ain't fair and I like Oreos.
She probably snacks on kale chips while I eat cheese and ice cream.
Whatevs.
If it makes you feel any better at all, a friend of a friend of mine worked in Hollywood for awhile in the diet and exercise industry and said that almost every one of these people is on drugs and/or had surgery to achieve these looks. I am not surprised by that, but I have to say that even if that wasn't the case and they are just getting this way with diet/exercise, they have the time to exercise for literally hours every day because it's part of their job.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have that kind of gym time, but I don't so I'll make do with looking like a pregnant Gisele. That's better than 99% of the non-pregnant population anyway. Translation - YOU'RE NOT ALONE! :)
Girl, I don't look half as good as pregnant Gisele. ;) I cannot seem to rid myself of this muffin top, but then again, I'm not willing to eat 5 calories a day and give up wine and all that to be skinny. Good for you for being healthy and running so much!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain girl. I ran 4 miles this morning. I am getting back into it and I registered for the No limits half marathon at the Texas Motor Speedway. I better be an 8 by October or catch mono.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lawfrog. A lot of these women are on drugs to be skinny.
ReplyDeleteI just don't think it's the norm...seriously. I too, don't want to give up my wine and cheese to look anorexic ;)
I'm new here.. found you through Claire's blog. Come visit.

And, OMG! You have beagles!! I'm a beagle owner too!!!
ReplyDeletei had to send this post to my twinkie-- though i'm NO WHERE NEAR a Gisele, me and marianne took a photo together during our trip to california this past summer with our tops up showing our tummies and she teased there was no difference between her belly and my then 19 weeks baby bump belly. She'll text me photos after a big dinner and call it her "taco baby" etc. It cracks me up every single time.
