Readers to Jillian Michaels: We Don't Want to Ruin Our Bodies with Pregnancy, Either

PRINTEmail This'Biggest Loser' tutor Jillian Michaels told Women's Health she would rather adopt than spin pregnant, saying, "I can't handle doing that to my body." The body-conscious trainer, 36, carries 120 pounds upon her tiny 5'2" frame, though says she was an overweight teen, topping out at 175 pounds.

We turned to the Pop Chorus -- to women who know where Michaels is comin' from, privately -- to hear from three other ladies endangered that corporeal changes competence have pregnancy just not value it.
Wendy Gould from Indianapolis, Indiana, says:
"I'm the married 24-year-old lady with no skeleton to have children. Part of that preference stems from personal choice, though the single of the main reasons is, we do not wish to go by those physical changes. I similar to my physique the way it is, as well as I've listened the plethora of abhorrence stories associated with pregnancy as well as giving bieing born -- increasing breast size, getting heavier, widen outlines ... even the probability of increasing feet size!

Family as well as friends chastise me, saying it's the greedy pierce I'll regret later, though we beg to differ. There have been many young kids in the world watchful to be adopted. Yes, we have that healthy motherly instinct as well as ticking maternal time tantalizing me, as well as the oddity to see what my kid would demeanour like. Regardless, we will likely never have children."

Jaimee Jackson from La Junta, Colorado, says:
"Weight is regularly upon the minds of women, especially women considering pregnancy. I'm 28 years old, as well as have been with my father for roughly 7 years. He is ready to have the baby a! s well a s is pulling the issue pretty aggressively. Although we would adore nothing more than to have the child, we am extremely worried about gaining (and then losing) all the weight.

I have regularly been the thin person. I adore my figure as well as am really unapproachable of it. However, the older we get, the harder it is to keep the weight off, no matter how hard we try. we fright apropos profound would ruin my figure and, in turn, my self esteem. I've been successful so distant in coming up with each forgive for because I'm not ready to get pregnant, though we do not know how most longer we can keep it up without my father finding out the truth..."

Michelle Basile from Hazelwood, Missouri, says:
"I am 43 years aged as well as have two children. I ruined my figure with the bieing born of my children. we became grossly overweight.

If we had the preference to do it over, we would definitely choose adoption over carrying the kid myself. we was really ill during my pregnancies as well as put my physique by the extensive amount of turmoil. we now have the distressing complaint with my weight, that we have let turn out of control by no fault though my own.

I now face the probability of not being there for my young kids due to my obesity. Therefore, we rarely recommend that if the lady has the event to have the preference to give the kid the much-needed home as well as family over carrying biological young kids of her own, we say go for it! A kid is the child. Biological or not -- it makes no difference. Save your figure as well as possibly your health. Adopt."
