Answers:
sometimes a womens body just changes after having a kid. i know my sister had a kid 3 years ago. before she had the kid she was pretty average sized. then after the pregnancy she still had a lot of extra weight. she still excersizes regurarly and eats healthy foods. she is not lazy or lack self respect she just can't get the weight off
Some might, but others really do get out of shape because of there kids, because some don't have the time to think about themselves... They're always using their time for their family.
I have always wondered that. My mom is like you and stayed fit and my friends always say she looke like she is in her mid thirties when she is 42. But some of my friends moms seem to not care at all! and i am not talking about weight. I mean you could just have a very slow matabalism. But i mean clothes and makeup! I went to my friends house for a party for her birthday, and some of the moms were nicely dressed and wearing nice makeup. other moms were in ratty throwup covered tshirts and pants. And one mom who has a 3 year old look better than the mom with a 12 year old! 3 year olds are monsters though!
HELL YES they do. My mother is in amazing shape. Women her age CAN'T believe she is her age. Im 19 now, and they all think that she had me in her teens lol. But nope, she was 24 when she had me :D She looks like she's in her mid thirties though.
That is good that you could do that, but not everyone is the same. You do realize that after childbirth you hormones change and some women have trouble losing the weight. It is not always watching what you eat. Some women after having a child can not get in a good work out. It is very hard when you have more than one at home. Lets try to have a little more understanding about other people. Don't look so much at the outside. Start looking at the inside of a person.
well I have 2 boys, one is 2 and the other is 1, and im not lazy a mom (esp of 2) is hard work, Im constantly working out just by chasing them all day, but yeah we do kinda let our selves go after having a baby, i actually did let my self go until about 4 months AFTER my SECOND was born, your more focused on what your child looks like and how you are keeping them up more then your self, I would have to say some mothers use their kids as an excuse and some really do have a harder time working on their selfs, most moms grow out of it once their baby gets a lil age on them as of my babies and myself and about the weight thing I weighed 129 pounds when i first got pregnant with baby number 1 and when i had baby number 2 where i had them soo close i weighed at 230pds, im happy to say my son just turned 1 on july 21st and i weigh 143 now not my goal weight but a major improvment
some women devote literally all of their time to raising their kids, and dont give themselves a thought. i dont think it is a conshius decision, but more a maternal one. i think any good mother is a beautiful one, even if they dont keep up with themselves as before. their children wont remember the outer beauty as much as the inner as they grow.. some women do stay fit and healthy, but other women dont, but lets just not judge. all moms are fabulous!
