Obsession with the "post baby body"

Just google it, post baby body, and you can see how obsessed our society is with looking like you never had a baby.

I partly think good for you cause i couldn't. My other thoughts are that when you post pis that you are just looking for a compliment or validation posting a pic of yourself saying look at me I'm back to better than ever before.

The first thing a celebrity does after having a baby is try to make that cover in a bathing suit saying "how i did it" or "my body after baby". Reality is they have personal trainers, and not the personal trainers at the gym we get they have one that come to there homes or just take personal clients only, and staff chefs/nutritionist. Last time i checked most people don't have that available to them. 

I remember my first couple or months as a new mom. My major concern wasn't omg i have stretch marks and a mommy tummy it was is my baby healthy, is she getting enough food/nutrition, is she breathing, am i doing a good job, and every other thought that could possibly go through my mind about being a new mom. My focus wasn't on crunches and squats. 

We need to realize every woman is different some women bouncy back quick like it never happened(being young helps too) some women don't and will never have a flat smooth tummy. I know i won't my stomach muscles ripped and stretch marks don't go away. But i sometimes look at them and think of my child my gift. Its natures tattoo (ha). We need to be more focused on motherhood and not looks. I'm not saying don't even try. Its the obsession thats unhealthy.  And certainly judging other women who don't fit into the unrealistic box of perfection isn't right either.

Don't get me wrong i want to do things differently this time around. I struggle with a eating disorder and it got bad after my first child. I have gained a lot of weight from it and it has been hard to get off and have had several obstacles. But I'm hoping that not falling into the same track and my thyroid medication might help things to work properly. But i won't be in the gym with a baby strapped to my back. I again will be worried about my newborn! p.s. i tried the gym and hated it.

I would love to know what your opinion is on the obsession on the post baby body.
