Answer 1

my question is how many of these "women who have let themselves go" have you talked to? Do you know thier health history? Have you walked a mile in thier shoes? Its great that you can do all that for yourself but not everyone is as fortunate as you are. Why does it matter anyway that you care about the fact that they have let themselves go, does it affect your daily life? I bet I am one of those women who you look at and think whats wrong with you, Ill tell you what wrong and its my body fighting against me, no matter how many days I go to the gym or how little I eat or how much I obsess about how good I will look with fifty million days in the gym my body will not allow it. So next time you look at one of those moms think to yourself this "wow I am so lucky to look and feel so great" instead of damn shes a fat cow!

Sometimes it isn't easy for other people to keep the weight in check. There are some health issues once in a while that can cause this to happen.
Mostly I think it's the way the world is eating these days. The exercise is limited because there is no time, kids, husband, job, life in general.
Sometimes people just don't care and that is okay too. If we were all super models there wouldn't be any concerns and that wouldn't be good either.
I think instead of judging we should all take a minute and thank God that we are who we are and accept ourselves and others for what they are.
I don't believe that people are generally lazy, they just don't have the desire to be that way. Some never learned to exercise because they worked and that was the exercise.
Eating right is a matter of what they believe is right, not what we think. I don't think it's what you eat, its how much you eat and how many calories you burn in a day.
I wonder if the tables were turned, what would you say if someone came up to you and said, "why do you take so much time trying to be in such great shape?" What would you say? "Because I want to!" Right? Well, maybe they want to.
Just thinking, don't take this personally, I didn't mean it that way, just didn't know how else to put it out for thought.
Have a great day, keep keeping in shape, you're body will thank you by giving you many years of a healthy life.

Maybe these people aren't just thinking of themselves anymore. They might be thinking of the kids and not focusing on themselves. Sometimes, depending on your livelyhood situation, you have to give things up for yourself in order to provide your children with the things they need or a better life then what you had growing up.

Often it's hard to put in a full day's work (for those that have to work) and then go home and spend quality time with the children and then have the energy to exercize or something at home after the kids go to bed. Sometimes all we want is some me time and if that's sitting on the couch and watching a tv show to relax before we finish cleaning the rest of the house and then maybe fitting in a shower and going to bed before we wake up and do it all again.

It's a matter of priorities I guess. Some peoples priority isn't how they look it's thier kids.

Answer 4

Laziness. I'm 32 and expecting my third. I work very hard to avoid being overweight. I'm built like my paternal grandmother and prone to weight gain in the hips and thighs. But I work my butt off. I'm also a health nut and work as a nutritional consultant from my home. I cook meals rather than rely on prepackaged convenience foods. I am busy all day. I don't sit around and watch tv. I feel that being at home all day is my job so I work until late in the evening when the kids are finally settled. Then I'm off. I know other mothers with similar views as mine but sadly there are so many who do nothing all day. They don't interact with the kids. They don't cook or clean. They're all either fat or if not that they walk around in sweats with stringy undone hair. I don't know what kind of fullfilment they're getting out of life but it can't be much. I think they're lazy and possibly somewhere along the way lost any ambition. I refuse to become that.

Answer 5

My mother has had three kids, and is more concerned about working to cover the bills, making sure my sister and I (we are 17 and 16) are able to go out on the occasional weekend, be able to afford to help me out with my car insurance, and to still pay her divorce lawyer. Yeah, she's not skinny, but I don't think it matters. She's an amazing person, she's beautiful, and she cares more about her children than her figure.

Answer 6

You only ask questions in order to brag, don't you. All of your questions follow the same pattern: "Why can't these other women be as fantastic as I am?"

I doubt that your life is really as great as you try to make it seem if you need to fish for compliments on Yahoo Answers or need to put down others in order to feel better about yourself.
