Anyone else still in perfect shape after having 3+ kids?

I get so sad reading all those threads about women who are struggling with their weight or who aren't happy with the way their body looks.

When I think about it, most of my friends are always watching what they eat, counting calories, or they've just resigned themselves to a life in a large fat-suit and have settled for less.

I am so thin and pretty, I am utterly smitten with myself. I tell myself in the mirror every day how good I look. I get all mushy inside every morning when I wake up and the first thing I see are my flat abs smiling back at me. I really can't resist buying myself new things or (don't tell anyone) kissing my reflection in the mirror every morning. I have to push myself out the door every day to go to work. Good thing there are mirrors in the bathrooms at work! Best of all, I don't even work out - this just comes naturally to me. Guess I have a super fast metabolism or something.

I know it's always going to be like this for me. I've had 4 kids and my youngest is 4, so I know my body is quite capable of staying thin and stretchmark-free. Hell, I only weigh 5 lbs more than I did in high school, so this is just the way I am.

Anyone else like this, or is it just me?

That's great that you're working hard to be a better person. Congratulations and good luck on improving yourself!

LOL!

OP, sounds like you have a serious self-esteem problem.

Staying thin may be your strong suit cause humor sure isn't. Nice try though.

Stop beating yourself up for weighing 5 pounds more now than you did in high school. I see so many positive things in your post -- why focus on the negative? And when you find yourself aware of how ugly you are on the inside, reach for the pocket mirror in your purse! (That never worked for me but then I'm more than 5 pounds heavier than I was in high school. Sigh. I suck, I know....)

OP-is your name perhaps P Diddy? Madonna? Are you Tori Spelling? C'mon, we're dying to know?

I'm tired of these threads where someone just copies another thread and slightly changes it.

The OP is making fun of the thread that talks about being happily married.

I feel the same way, only I haven't gained the 5 pounds since high school.

I actually like my body a lot more since high school - it's a lot more muscular since I discovered yoga and pilates.

It's especially refreshing to be in another group of moms, and put them down, in a subtle way of course. Not just their post-baby figures, but all of their choices - if they formula feed I can pick on that, if they BF I try to make them feel like their diet is bad and they are not doing the best for their child; if they are doing public school I make them feel poor and cheap, and if they are doing private I make them feel like they are traitors and that their kid won't be able to keep up anyway.

What can I say, I love my life!

This is funny. Troll love!

Oh, now I understand. I guess I did not read OP's post closely enough to realize she was being a complete and utter asshole. Way to spread the hate, OP. I hope you're happy with yourself. Jerk.

Why is the person who pointed this out the jerk? Go back to the black/white discussion in OT and continue your ignorant comments there.

LOL!

lame. lame. and more lame.

OK, the farce thread died after all the good ideas got used and people resorted to insulting other peoples' religions. And this may be an attempt to revive the art of farce, which under other circumstances I'd really support. But really, this is pretty lame....
