Back off of the Pooch

11 Sep

I didn’t actually see Britney Spears’ performance at the MTV VMA awards this week, but I am just LIVID about the media saying she looked out of shape and had a stomach pooch.

You know how much I would love to look like that after having a kid?!  And she’s had two!  One of those is less than a year old!  And we wonder why women and girls in this country have body issues.  We’re telling them that this is what it looks like to be out of shape.

Granted, I know she’s probably had work done, but still, why must we be so darn critical of looks?!  I give her kudos for being able to go on national TV after having a kid so recently.  Lord knows I couldn’t do that…

    Bravo! I couldn’t agree more! I can’t stand the fact that people think having meat on your bones qualifies as “pooch”. Sure, my body is different since I’ve had kids, but I’m not at all bothered by it. I’d rather have a less than perfect body than miss out on motherhood.
