ohnotheydidnt: Jamie Lynn Desperate To Regain Figure Normally I wouldn’t post celeb stuff, but as a ONTD addict, this amused me: “But Jamie Lynn won’t hiring a personal trainer. ‘You don’t have to pay somebody a bunch of money to make you skinny again. If you want to be skinny, you have to do it yourself. And I love to swim, so I know I’ll be doing a lot of that.’” No JL, you do not have to pay someone a bunch of money to be skinny again, but you know what helps? BEING 17 WHEN YOU GET PREGNANT. I had a couple friends end up up the stick early on in life and their body’s bounced back with remarkable speed. Ah, to be a teenager again… This leads me into a different discussion but one I’ve talked about with a friend recently: biology is a cruel irony. Our bodies do best in pregnancy when we’re younger, the baby is more likely to be healthy and your pregnancy is usually easier (not always I know) but of course you’re not prepared to be a parent: financially, mentally, emotionally — duh. As you get older, well it gets harder and the chance for complications goes up, and superficially: it is harder to get your pre-baby body back. Modern science can only take us so far… File Under: things I really wish I didn’t have to think about.
