They now recommend waiting until 2 to 4 months (I didn't start any of my kids vaccines until 6 months, because that's when they start losing their mom's immunity).

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 It makes sense, and there has been a lot of talk about how many women use extra weight as a form of protection, because we DON'T want to be reduced to objects! I started developing at age 15, and I looked older than I was. Basically, I got pretty large breasts, and started getting hit on and harassed, and it only got worse when I moved to New York City for college. I didn't have the emotional resources to deal with it, and I started wearing baggy clothes and eventually put on some weight. I don't know whether it's strictly feminist thinking or not, but I do believe that women (and, increasingly, men) are devalued when given the message that the most important thing about us is how hot we are. > > I totally agree with this article. Infact my husband and I have had this conversation a lot lately. He feels that I am a bit of a femanist when it comes to modesty. You know what I guess I am if that means that I feel that women are being devalued more and more we take off our clothing and have everything that God gave us out there for everyone to see. I think that this whole idea of flant it if you got it, is one of my hang ups with losing weight. I don't want to flaunt anything. I want to get healthy so that I am able to have the energy and clear mind that I need to be the best mom to my adorable three children. Sometimes I think it is easier dealing with being a little plump more than with cat calls and seeing people look at me like I am an obeject. I feel like my wieght protects me from that. People really have to get to know ME for who I am. I will say that I am grateful for my fat, because I am fat people do not see me as an object. > What do you think? > D. > > > Ask a question on any topic and get answers from real people.
