I know it's not the point, but honestly the first thing I thought was "wow she popped one out right after the other" I am so wrong I realize, but seriously that was my first thought. lol

My excuse is that I spent last year dealing with a brain tumour, infertility and working towards a promotion. I knew there was no way I could manage my weight and do all those things. I prioritized and my weight/shape/health came last to those other things, because I couldn't do it all. At other points in my life my fitness and eating habits did come first and I did lose weight and was a size 6. Before getting pregnant I was a size 10-12. It was my own doing. I don't look at that woman and feel anything other than awe, good for her for being able to work at staying that fit. I hope to one day get back to where I was but for now I am doing my best to not throw up most days, so I eat carbs.
Also, maybe she has childcare because no one who is with their kids 24/7 gets to look like that, no one.
There are two in shape work out types on my FB feed. One has no children. The other works in a gym and has a lot of childcare help, a lot. She had twins, but only carried them to 31 weeks which is probably close-ish to a full-term singleton pregnancy. Although she always stresses that she bounced back after a twin pregnancy which irks me.
My excuse is that my thyroid is all kinds of effed up and I want to get pregnant so my dr is advising me not to diet or over-exercise. How's that for excuse? Not really an excuse, nor a place I'd like to be in, but them's the breaks, ya know?
I'm wondering why my body shape/size requires an "excuse"? I'm happy with how I look -- I'm active and healthy, even if I am overweight. Why does she think I need an "excuse"?
I don't feel like any of us should need excuses for anything. She needs an excuse for her crappy ass attitude about the basic common knowledge that we are all born with different shapes. It's not rocket science lady!!
My "excuse"? I never had an eating disorder, unlike the FB image poster? Because those make any advice where you brag about how little you've eaten meaningless.
That's my problem with the image, as well as her "apology." If she truly wants to help inspire moms and other people to get in shape, she should write about practical exercises that don't take a lot of time, easy, fast, healthy recipes, etc. Not say, "Sorry you're fat and hate my photo and just make excuses for yourself." What a joke.
And in reality I work out a good amount. I actually think I am pretty damn active for everything going on in my life. I make it a priority. But my goal was never to put in the time/effort to look like her. Mostly because I like wine lol.
