Dear Reader, I was looking through Us Weekly's Web site and found an article entitled, "Kate Gosselin Flaunts Bikini Bod." It included this lovely image of Kate and mentioned that she had a free tummy tuck after having 8 kids, thanks to her show on TLC.
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with Kate Gosselin's body, but does the average mother have the money to get a tummy tuck? Probably not. However, seeing images like this tells the average mother what makes a post-baby body beautiful.
If Kate Gosselin's "bikini bod" is given attention, it becomes something to strive for. For real moms, this is an unrealistic expectation. Bring on the self-doubt and body dissatisfaction.
