Guiliana and Bill

[Anonymous]

Aww. I love them as a couple and really identified with them during their infertility struggles and serious illnesses. So happy they have a baby now.

However, I checked out her diet on the mermaid tail link and it didn't seem strange at all to me. There was actual meals and food, as opposed to anorexics who's diet is just one cracker, coffee and cigarettes all day long.

I have to agree. It seemed like clean eating to me! I have seen her eat many a plate of pasta on her show and in real life, I think she is portion-conscious and nutrition-minded.

If you think those kinds of strict rules are "normal," I really don't know what to say. There's a big, happy medium between that kind of strict dogma and a food-free-for-all. "Clean eating" is simply code for eating disorder.

I think the article quoted was showing how to eat to maintain a figure. No one said anything about eating that way 365 days a year. I eat clean 5/7 days of the week and my meals would look just like that, though perhaps cleaner-- GF, dairy, sugar free, as many veggies as possible. I think I eat properly.

Drinking concoctions to avoid eating and hunger is a red flag.

Maternal hormones will knock you over the head with love for your baby. It is like falling in love, or all the crushes you have had in the past rolled into one big love fest. All the oxytocin from breast feeding makes you fall in love over and over. You can't underestimate them. When I had my babies and was breast feeding, as tired as I was, it was like someone had given me a love potion!

Not for everyone. I didn't feel anything close to that until maybe 5 months post partum. I had pretty severe depression. Not everyone is just like you.

You’ve referred to your husband as a "baby hog." Who’s getting more me-time with the Duke these days?

"He really is, that’s just not stopped. We’re in New York this week and Bill likes to push the stroller in the city and he likes to always hold him and I just look like the lazy wife who doesn’t want to do anything. I just walk alongside Bill and the baby kind of going “OK if anyone needs me, I’ll be over here.” But yes, he’s definitely a baby hog. But you could call your husband worse things than a baby hog. At the end of the day, ultimately, it’s a blessing and it’s great that Bill is so nurturing and loving and wants to be with the baby all the time. In the end, it equals out because Bill travels a lot for work, so when he’s here and at home he wants to make sure that he spends as much time (with the baby as possible) and I respect that and I want him to be with the baby as much as possible."

This is almost like her admitting she doesn't hold the baby. Seriously it's weird. In the real world she would say hand the baby to me and not let her husband have the baby all the time. Something isn't right. I will give her a break on weight if she was always thin. Also, isn't there something about staying thin to avoid cancer reoccurrence? I think I remember Robin Roberts discussing this.

Ditto. A lot of moms don't experience the intense feeling of falling in love.

She is so classy. This is how to be a good wife and mother. Empowering your husband. Absolutely nothing wrong with her allowing her husband to be a proud father.

This kind of approach is how you get an equal partner in child rearing responsibilities and at the same time achieve balance.

Ok Tom Cruise, you do not speak for all women. Please enlighten yourself. You can start with the book Down Came the Rain by Brooke Shields

Maintaining a healthy weight (not overweight or obese); that's not where Giuliana's weight is now.

Yup, I know a few people who know her directly.

Reportedly, she has always said that she was going to get to Hollywood and be famous, well before she was. He parents are Italian immigrants and her dad is a well known local tailor, he had a shop for years and years at White Flint Mall.

Also, she lies like a rug about her age. I know someone who went to highschool with her at one of the big MCPS high schools (BCC? Whitmann?) and she is well over 40, no question. 42 at the absolute youngest, more likely 44.

I thought they were Croatian?

Not true. As many as 70% of weight related fertility problems resolve when a woman reaches her optimal weight. http://www.inviafertility.com/blog/conception/pattypaganucci/when-thin-is-not-in-fertility

And how ironic was it that their kids were born at the same time. Put him in perspective! for a minute at least.
