is anyone watching Rachel Zoe?
Can I just say I'd probably watch paint dry if it was on Bravo after 9 pm? I watch pretty much all their shows except Top Chef and now whatever that Dallas show is.
anyway - on RZ - the ridic conversation between RZ and Kim Kardashian about how great RZ looks PG and you cant' even tell from behind and how she's only gained weight in her belly b/c she hasn't laid around while she was PG, etc., etc. I know they are in an appearance based industry, but it just really bothered me that the appearance/weight gain aspects of pregnancy are their top concerns or I guess when those are the featured concerns. When does the insecurity about physical appearance end - RZ is almost 40 yo and KK is 30? Have a bad, gain some weight - its not the end of the world.
Re: is anyone watching Rachel Zoe?
Um, I do watch Top Chef and Most Eligible Dallas (which sucks, it's might be worse than Miami Social - yeah, I watched that too, no shame!)
RZ is super insecure about her appearance, pregnant or not. Also she doesn't seem like the type to sit around and eat bon bons all day, ever. Her job is somewhat physical as well, it's not like she is sitting at a desk. Think of her wardrobe- it's not like she can afford to NOT fit back into those clothes, nor is wearing yoga pants ever really an option for her.
The problem with totally letting go and eating whatever you want during pregnancy is that eventually you need to lose that weight, it's not all baby, placenta, fluids, etc.
Speaking from personal experience IF we go for #3, I WILL be watching my weight and exercising throughout that pregnancy. I gained under 30 lbs during my pregnancy w/ DD and had no issue getting back to my PP size in about 4-5 months w/o any diet changes or serious exercise, but I am having a much harder time w/ the weight from DS's pregnancy, I know I gained more and now I am older and my metabolism is slower, I was surrounded by toddler food after DS was born, and he didn't sleep as well as DD did from the start, so I now have a struggle on my hands.
Hahah I love but hate Most Eligible Dallas! I can't stop watching it regardless of how bad it is and I watched Miami Social too. I also watch Big Rich Texas which is terrible as well.
I don't have a series recording for BRT, but have been known to watch it, sometimes I HAVE to turn it off though because it can be SO dumb. Like when the one mom and daughter went for a walk/run while the daughter was studying and then the mom was like oh, let's stop and have a beer! WTF?
