Post Baby Body - Heidi Klum

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

It's been a while since Heidi Klum gave birth - 18 months actually - but the 34 year old mom of three and, oh ya, SUPERMODEL, is giving some advice to women who are trying to get back into their pre-baby jeans, in June’s Marie Claire.  You might wanna take notes.

Heidi says that new moms have to be realistic when it comes to shedding those pregnancy pounds.  "I always think, 'Look at how people were before they were pregnant.'  If you were a toned, healthy, energetic person, most likely you will be like that again."  Translation:  If you aren't/weren't a supermodel with a super body before kids, you ain't gonna be that after kids.

Klum worked it just two months after giving birth to her second child, Henry, in a Victoria's Secret fashion show.  She said, "A lot of people come to me, and they're like, 'Will I look like you after I have the baby?'  And I say, 'Well, how were you before?'  You can't kid yourself."  Translation:  I rock it bitches and you don't.

The married mom of three (husband is Seal) - Leni, 4, Henry, about to turn 3, and little Johan, 18 months, Heidi isn't putting fitting into her "skinny" jeans a top priority.  Liar.

"I always wanted to be a mom.  At Thanksgiving, I have my parents there, I have screaming kids, I have a big fat turkey that I don't eat  - 18 pounds - sitting in the middle, legs are being ripped off that thing except by me, you know what I mean?  There's life in the house.

"I don't want to be wondering about how skinny I am, wondering what I'm going to eat because I don't want to gain and I want to look hot and young, always and forever."  Translation: I am better than you.

Basically her advice boils down to this - if you weren't strutting down a runway wearing lacy panties and bra before kids, you will not be doing so after giving birth.  Ha.

Thanks Heidi.

That tummy tuck is amazing.  They must have removed a foot of lose skin from her abdomen and sewed those muscles back really well.  Her recovery must have been agonizing.  I had one and it was rough.  Thank heavens for codeine!
