Unreal Expectations of Mothers Thanks to Celebrity Mothers

A few months after giving birth to my daughter, I read how Jessica Alba lost weight from her pregnancy in about six weeks. Sadly, I could not find that article for this post. However, I did come across another article about her weight loss. I know that for most actresses, they rely heavily on their looks and body image. But to lose 25 pounds or more in such a short time period is unhealthy not to mention unrealistic, baby or not. The other thing that bothers me is how women hear about this "miracle" and expect it to happen to them. Celebrities have money, time, and a support system (paid for or not) to help them with the baby. This allows them to be able to focus on losing weight in an unhealthy time period. I'm all for women wanting to be healthy for health sake, but I'm sick and tired of the one size only image that is seen in today's media.
