Maternity Swimsuits

While working out at the gym this morning I was watching the Today Show. On one of the segments they had a mini fashion show showcasing maternity swimsuits. Now I’m familiar with the concept and since two of my four were born in August and another in October I’ve actually purchased and worn a maternity swimsuit. But not like these suits.

Three or four of the suits were Takini type suits and in every one the model’s belly protruded from under the top, one was a bikini. Yes a bikini for pregnant women and only one was a one piece style suit that actually covered the belly.
Maybe at heart I’m more of a prude then I thought but I just can’t seem to wrap my brain around this new desire to show off one’s pregnant belly.

Title: Trim Kids

Year Published: 2001

Why did you get this book? I was looking for nutritional information that was geared for kids.

Do you like the cover? Not bad

Did you enjoy the book? This books was actually a DNF for me. I read the Part One section, which was titled Setting the Stage for Success. It did have some good information for parents, such as diet changes can’t really be made for just one family member and be effective for that family member. And yet at the same time you can’t never let the other family members have the things they like to eat. To make real effective changes in our children’s diet and exercise choices and attitudes we might first have to change our own. Ouch!

The second part of the books lays out in detail the Twelve-Week Program. That is not the information I was looking for hence the DNF status.

Are you keeping it or passing it on? It is a library book and I will be returning it.

Anything else? If you have a child/children with weight problems you might be interested in reading this book. I think it does have merit.
