Usually I love to get my US Weekly magazine! I absolutely love it. Well, this week, I didn't love this article very much. As I was reading, I started to get really upset.
Here is some of what I read:
Three months after the birth of her son, former Bachelor star Trista Sutter, 35, tells Us she’s on a mission to lose the last of the 30 pounds she gained during pregnancy.
“I’m definitely not pleased when I look in the mirror,” admits the 5-foot-2 star, who now wears a size 4 and weighs 116 pounds, but aspires to surpass her prebaby physique and get down to 106 pounds. “When I fit into my size 26 Hudson jeans, then I’ll be happy.”
Sutter shares her post-baby body issues with Us and how husband Ryan, 33, is helping her get down to her goal weight.
How are you feeling about your body?
“My friend said that when I came home from the hospital, I’d be back in my old jeans. Fifteen pounds did fall off immediately, but the fact that it’s been three months and I’m still not in them is a bummer.”
What bothers you the most?
“My belly. It has a layer of fat, which, of course, your body has to put on, but it’s blubbery and I hate it. I want to be able to go bathing suit shopping for a vacation and not feel totally disgusted…I just don’t feel good in a lot of my clothes.”
Does Ryan help?
If I eat something that I shouldn’t, Ryan shakes his finger at me and says, ‘Uh, uh, uh!’ He’s been awesome, 100 percent supportive. He watches Max when I go to the gym and is constantly saying that I look great. But when you don’t feel good about yourself, you don’t feel like you want to be intimate. I want to feel, and look, sexy again for him. Even though he is being nice and saying he’s still attracted to me, I want to feel like he’s telling me the truth and not just saying it because he’s a good husband.”
This article really upset me!
First of all, why in the world is she complaining about being a size 4 and weighing 116 lbs.! That is ridiculous! I would love to be that size. It is a very healthy weight. I understand that she wants to feel good about herself, and get back to her pre-baby weight, but she is a great size/weight!
I also don't think that this puts a very good image out to girls and women that you have to be super skinny! Women have enough body issues. The idea that you are fat if you are a size 4 is horrible!
I had Alyse 8 months ago, and I still have plenty of baby weight to lose. I'm not happy with the extra weight, but she was so worth it. I also know that when Josh tells me that I am beautiful, he means it! I have asked him before if I was 30lbs lighter if he would love me more, and he always says that it doesn't matter because he loves me for me!
This article made me realize that I am lucky to have Josh. It also made me really commit that I will get to my goal weight (I WILL), but I am not going to obsess over it. It took me 10 months (she was in me forever!) to get to that size, so if it takes me 10 - 12 months to loose it, I am ok with that.
I am just going to be happy with who God made me to be.

I agree!!! People now are too obessed with weight and how they look to other people. It's really annoying!!! I wish I was 116 pounds too but i'm 5'9" I'd look way too skinny!!!November 5, 2007 at 8:57 PM'If I eat something that I shouldn’t, Ryan shakes his finger at me and says, ‘Uh, uh, uh!’ If Dustin EVER did that to me, I would kill him!!!! LOL! That is just crazy! I still have A LOT of weight (some baby and some I just gained because I've been lazy the last few years) to lose and though I can't stand it, I realize there is more to me than an extra number of pounds I need to lose. Plus, babies are soooooooo worth it, aren't they???
