OF COURSE NOT!!
It’s easy to love yourself!
Have you suffered with pregnancy complications beyond the health of yourself or your baby? You know, things like social stress and self-image problems?
Well, then you’d want to meet Author Claire Mysko tomorrow night, December 2nd, from 6:30pm-8:00pm at the United Synagogue of Hoboken (115 Park Ave)!
Interesting book talk and Q&A
Author Claire Mysko will join us at the United Synagogue of Hoboken for a book talk and Q & A that will cover topics including:
- Why women should be wary of Hollywood “bump watch” and post-baby weight loss stories.
- The pressures moms face to “get their bodies back” and how to deal with them in a healthy way.
- Steps every mother can take to feel her best about her body, herself, and her role as a mom.
- How our behavior and attitudes can influence our children (both girls and boys).
Claire Mysko is a writer and body image expert who has served as the director of the American Anorexia Bulimia Association, the Executive Editor of SmartGirl, and the Assistant Director of Communications at Girls Inc. She is also the author of the award-winning guide for girls, You’re Amazing! A No-Pressure Guide to Being Your Best Self. Her website is www.clairemysko.com
Does This Pregnancy Make Me Look Fat? The Essential Guide to Loving Your Body Before and After Baby (co-authored by Claire Mysko and Magali Amadei) is the first guide to help women deal with the body changes of pregnancy and motherhood, providing valuable advice on how to pass along healthy attitudes about food and weight to our children.
“A lighthearted guide to combating a silent societal epidemic…[T]he authors do a great service in bringing to light a fear that women may believe they suffer with alone…The concepts and solidarity offered here should prove valuable for millions of American women.”

No, but I guess we can all agree that non-pregnant obese people are disgusting.
When will they start charging the fatties double fare on the path train? If you ass does not fit in one seat, stand!

Funny. It is books/ideas like these that actually exacerbate the so-called “pressures.” The title is meant to be provocative or enticing, but is pretty irresponsible for a book that claims to “pass along healthy attitudes about food and weight to our children.”
Perhaps the book is helpful to some people – if so, that’s great. I think the people who obsess over body image when pregnant are just the same folks who obsessed over body image when not pregnant.

Pregnancy will never make us look as fat as an overdose of McDonald’s could!
