Jessica Simpson 10 Pounds from Pre-Baby Weight?...

Jessica Simpson is in a weight battle that millions of women can identify with. The actress is currently under a great deal of pressure to lose the weight she put on during her pregnancy. She says nobody is pressuring her, including the folks at Weight Watchers, but earning a $4 million paycheck for shedding the weight is pressure, period. She also knows the world is watching and waiting to see if she can do it.

The new mom is slated to unveil her post-baby body in a matter of days. Earlier this week, US Weekly magazine reported on Jessica's weight loss. According to the actress, "I'm 10 pounds away from my pre-baby size." Of course, there are no pictures, yet. Those will come out later to back up her statement and of course, prove how fabulous Weight Watchers is.

Jessica's weight is certainly nobody's business but her own, but she has made it a public issue despite declaring otherwise. She has repeatedly said she is comfortable with her curves. Great. Fine. Be happy with your curves and enjoy life. Screw what other people say, but why lie about it?

Photos of Jessica taken in the past few days tell a different story about her weight loss progress. Yes, she has lost some weight, but it does not look like she is 10 pounds away from her pre-baby weight. She claims to be an "everyday woman" going through the same weight loss struggles millions of other people face, but how many people have millions of dollars as an incentive to lose the weight?

Jessica Simpson will undoubtedly look fabulous when she does her big, new body unveiling, but how much of it will be Hollywood magic? Celebrity moms are setting a standard that is incredibly ridiculous for the average moms struggling to get back to their pre-pregnancy weight. If Jessica chooses to lie and conceal her curves, she is essentially supporting the ridiculous idea that a woman must be a size 2 to be beautiful.

I doubt the $ is a big incentive to her, she is worth a LOT because of her fashion line. But yeah, the pix will be doctored big time.
Kendra Wilkinson is a perfect example. She had a deal with OK and it was to appear by a certain date. They photo shopped the heck out of it. She later admitted it actually hurt her more to have had that done because people would see her and comment which killed her self-esteem while she already had postpartum depression.

Exactly. These ladies are setting a bad example. It is their decision to lose the weight, but it irritates me when they airbrush away the curves and have all this Hollywood magic to make them look thinner than they truly are. It sets a standard that says if you want to be like us, you have to drop 50 pounds in 4 months, blah, blah blah, when, in fact, they did not drop all the weight that quickly.

It's so sad that Hollywood places such a huge price on losing baby weight as fast as possible. My heart goes out to these women who have so much pressure on their shoulders when they should be enjoying the wonders of being a mother. Yes, I know they have way more money than I could ever imagine and they voluntarily put themselves in the public eye, but everyone deserves time to recover from giving birth. It makes me glad that I'm just a no-name mama who can enjoy good food and not worry about my mama jelly belly :)! It is nice to hear that Jessica's hubby is being so supportive and not concerned about her weight, though. Good man!

I don't really get why people gain so much weight when they are pregnant. I gained a whole 2lbs with my daughter and when I delivered her she was 1lb 15oz, so I actually lost weight during my pregnancy. It's not like I didn't eat at all either because I did add in 2 snacks a day that I don't have pregnant (but they were fruit).
