So it just came to my attention that Life & Style has Kourtney Kardashian on the cover, the headline reading "How I lost 33 pounds." Not surprisingly she's in a bikini and looks really good. Then a thought hit me, and I was like... Why is this a popular cover feature? I'm going to guess they sell well? Either way, it seems sort of ridiculous that women are rushed into having a bikini body after giving birth to a child. It probably makes the women who buy it feel that they also need to look like that in the same amount of time. Life & Style's website published some of the issue's interview with Kourtney on their website, and this is a snippet:
L&S: Have you reached your goal?
Kourtney: I have a few pounds until I get back to what I was before: 100 pounds. But I feel comfortable. I weigh about 107 pounds.
.. Not that someone her height shouldn't weigh 107, because many people do and they look totally healthy. But 3 months after having a baby? really? Hmmm
