Oh, That Jillian Michaels!

Well, she has managed to offend me both as a woman and a trainer! Not only has she gone from a hard working trainer to a pill pushing, money hungry, celebrity trainer, but she also has shown the world how shallow and ignorant she is with her latest comment: how she "can't handle" what a pregnancy would do to her body.

What really stuns me about this is that she actually believes a pregnancy would ruin her body. The thing is, you have to put in a lot of effort into achieving her type of physique(as she is well aware). It takes extreme discipline and will power: 2 things she has clearly mastered. So, the ironic thing is, she would be a great candidate for a pregnancy. She would definitely be able to continue working out. And if she had a normal, healthy pregnancy, her body would bounce back so fast, she would hardly have time to miss it. The fact that she feels all her work will fall apart b/c of a pregnancy is just wrong... and kinda sad.

And perhaps she is saying being anything other than the way she is now is too much to handle b/c of her childhood. Apparently, she was an overweight kid. Well, in that case, she has some serious insecurities to work out..but, from where I sit, she seems to have a pretty solid grasp on her new lifestyle and what it takes to achieve her little hard-body. So, Jillian, to you, I would say wise up, and get over yourself!

Wow, I think that was the bitchiest blog I've done:)

...I'm new to the Charged! site, and this post was laugh-out-loud funny. I've never understood why women think babydom is the death knell of their bodies, when its usually our minds -- preggers or not -- that hold us back. Thanks for the insight ... and humor.
