who needs diet when there's plastic surgery?

I do. I need diet. I need fitness.

Why? Because A is now four years old. And while I'm battling the baby fat, I know that I have dropped the pounds before. With discipline and hard work, I can do it again.

So I am so surprised when women feel they must resort to a mom job to look good in their skin.

Surgeons are now catering to these mothers. Why workout when you can get a boob job, tummy tuck and lipo all at once?

I'm not hating these moms. We all face the same scrutiny. Images of skinny women consume our society. But why must we all take the easy way out? And when I say easy, just think of this: the trifecta of surgeries cost anywhere from $10K to $30K.

Moms, we are beautiful! And we are strong! Let's combine those qualities to show the world that mom jobs are not the end all! We can live a healthy lifestyle without going under the knife.
