'Hot' Mom Defends Sexy Photo Against Facebook Hate

OK so this mom is getting a lot of hate about how fit she is with 3 children. What do you all think?

I see both sides...

I feel like it sets just another unrealistic idea of how women can look after having a baby. At the same time- Good for her for working hard...

    Why is it unrealistic that a woman who has had 3 kids and worked her tush off wants to show others it is possible? I don't see it as unrealistic at all, but as a strong message to women that the only things to hold them back is themselves.

    Also....this has already been talked about for like 2 weeks on the chit chat board.

    Why it is unrealistic. I applaud her for what she is able to accomplished. We as women need to realize that as a wife, mother, sister etc, we need to make time for ourselves, even if means that one day a week the children have sandwiches or cereal for dinner. It is not going to kill them, but guess what if allow you the chance to do something for yourself instead of taking care of everyone.

    This 100%

    Haters gonna hate. It reminds me of that pregnant crossfitter that got so much hate on FB because she was lifting heavy while pregnant. Being pregnant or having kids to take care of is just another excuse IMO

    And I'm also pretty sure there are other posts about it here somewhere..

    who for you?

    so you realistically won't work that hard. that's fine- that's your choice.
    I don't know why it's any of your business if she or anyone else does.

    My solution to this problem?

    don't have crumbsnatchers to start with- easy peasy lemon sqeezy.

    I think the issue is mostly that she is shaming other mom's... by saying "Whats your excuse?"
    LOL you can't MAKE someone feel shame. You can try- but shame isn't an emotion generated by another person.
    "What's your excuse?" is a question. The shame is an emotion you feel (I would assume) based on if you have an answer or not. Only you know the truth to that or not.
    I work 4 jobs AND I work out- AND my BF is an out of town relationship- I literally SCHEDULE him into my life.

    people tell me they are too busy all the time. They aren't- it's just an excuse. And that's fine- when you are ready you are ready. But otherwise- it's just an excuse.

    Nothing wrong with it. Everyone has an excuse not to exercise and eat right. I don't have time. I have kids. I work late. Blah. Blah. Blah!!! One time I got, it must be nice to be able to exercise. You have to make time to exercise. How bad do you want it? Stop making excuses. What is your excuse?? Get over yourself!!

    I just watched it, I applaud her! It's not easy working out day after day. There are a lot of days I don't want to work out, but if I don't have a damn good excuse, I go. I always feel better after a good workout.

    Unrealistic idea of how women can look after having a baby??????? Did you really just say that. The only unrealistic part is if ANY of that is photoshopped to make her look "cleaner."

    Other than that, getting into great shape after having a baby is not unrealistic. Just because women don't want to put in the work to get the body they want don't go dumping on this chick for doing what she wants.

    IMO, the only women upset or offended by this are the ones who are lazy and don't want to put in the work. Period.

    Get a life people, it's another fit chick, there are tons of them out there. Why should this one catch any more *kitten* than any of the others.

    How about you do you, and let her do her and move the *kitten* on.

    You have to be kidding or could it be that the other moms are too thin skinned.

    I'm not sure what everyone is so up in arms about. It's a promotional poster. It's motivation. The only people that are taking offense to it know they need to do something, but don't.

    It's obviously not "unrealistic", she did it. Every mom out there can if they want. Everyone makes every excuse in the book for not being in tip-top shape (busy, lazy, kids, blah, blah, blah). That's like saying there shouldn't be models, or fashion magazines, or TV/movies for that matter because it makes young girls feel bad for themselves.

    No diss on the woman or anything, but seriously NBC the terms they used is hot and sexy? Not fit attractive or thin lovely or tone pretty.

    Hot and sexy f-en stupid people this is why I had to give up the "news" recently

    PS-I didnt see the sex in the picture? Nothing in there caused my loins to feel aroused, so who is feeling that this pic is sexy?

    Well No not for me- I am not a mother- and to assume that is silly- I am merely engaged in a debate on a current event.

    Wow everyone is so hostil- Angry birds for sure...

    how is it shaming to be proud of your hard work and exercise...I would think other moms would find it inspirational...

    So people are now supposed to not be proud of the hard work and dedication it takes to stay in shape and have a great body..?? And we wonder why half the population is obese...

    I dunno. I have two kids under three, a very demanding corporate job, and am pursuing my master's in statistics. I'm what you could call busy. I still make time to work out 5 days per week by skipping lunches with coworkers and eating at my desk after personal training.

    All of that said, smug peers are not an effective motivator. Just like I don't need someone in my master's program to flaunt their 4.0 for me to find the drive to study, I don't need a super fit mom essentially throwing down the gauntlet to push me out the door for a run.
