Kendra Wilkinson: ‘Being fit and sexy is what makes me happy…’
August 20, 2010 in Celebrity Quotes, Hollywood Moms, Kendra Wilkinson by Versus
Yet another comment that will surely make you debate! Let’s see the details from Star Magazine:
“It was fun to see my body transform during my first pregnancy… but I’m dieting all the time now and exercising more than ever, yet I can’t get my body to where it used to be. Being fit and sexy is definitely important to me, and it’s what makes me happy…
“Happy a 91/2-lb baby stretched me out so much, I have all this loose skin that just won’t go away. Initially my motivation to get back into shape was for the photo shoots I had agreed to do before gaining weight in my pregnancy. But then I had a C-section, which changed everything and put a bump in the road to my weight loss.
“I didn’t get liposuction after Hank [Jr], because I knew I wanted more babies… But I will 100 percent have lipo after my second baby, because until then, I know I will never be satisfied looking in the mirror… We’re not trying to get pregnant just yet, because we’re too busy loving the first one right now… But it will definitely be sooner rather than later, because I want to be pregnant within the next year.”
Share your thoughts!
Well to each their own I guess.
You know, she’s created a life for herself based soley on looking ‘sexy’. Which yeah, in the past, she was ‘sexy’ but she was never beautiful, if that makes sense. She had a nice body, but her face, wow she IS the epitome of a butterface bagger, sorry, it’s horrible, but true and you all know it. So now that her body is way thicker, she’s lost. Her comments have made this very clear. She has no relevant education or true talen to fall back on, and she’s kinda freaking out. So, hopefully her husband will continue to do well or she’s screwed, really.
ya her face wasn’t thattttt pretty your right, i never really liked her body either while she was young, her legs were short, she had no hips or ass, i guess because of her boobs and that shes blonde people liked her. Also i remember seeing her with ALOT of makeup on for a photoshoot once and i thought she was pretty, other than that no..
in summary:
“I have a sexy rich husband who loves me just the way i am and a beautiful baby boy who means the world to me, but as long as i am fat, i will never be happy.”
well, that’s her opinion
agreed. however, what i’ve seen of her, she seems pretty down to earth and they make a cute family, just that she in addition to it all cares about her looks to ridiculous measures.
true.
i find it rather sad that she prioritizes her image and not realize how blessed she is to have an adorable baby with the man she loves.
i guess a stable life is not her taste.
you have to think about the fact that that’s how she’s gotten her recognition in life, she may not be able to value herself without feeling attractive.
Agreed. It is so sad she has to have the ‘perfect body’ to be happy.. sure we’d all want the perfect body, but if not you just continue to work hard and hope one day you will. And even if one day you still don’t have the perfect body dear god who cares.. you’re a mom you got more important things to worry about. She’s so Superficial.
Then again, what else can you expect from a girl that shared the bed with a guy 4 times older than her and 100 other girls? She’s cheap and all she wants is money and to look good, people like her don’t even deserve to have kids if you ask me.
omg that’s exactly what it is!
wtf does she need lipo for?! thats bullshit… that throws it in the face of people who are truely over weight.
her wanting to have lipo has NOTHING to do with other overweight people. It doesnt affect the next overweight person…excuses
SOunds like she just wants to get pregnant so she can eat and not workout again! Kendra,she’s a funny and nice girl it seems, but it also seems she doesn’t have the right outlook on many things.
to me it sounds like they will have another baby when they’re not “too busy loving the first one” anymore…which sounds sorta sad aswell.
ye it sounds sad
Hahaha I thought the same about the “too busy” part!
She wanted to say “I try to pretend to love my body which I hate so much; and my baby is the cause of my fat ugly body which I hate so much and can’t wait to rid off. But I won’t do it now cause my next baby is going to make me fatter and uglier anyway.”
The only reason why she got out of shape was because she stuffed herself full during pregnancy. Lots of other women lik Gisele and Heide Klum have children and still manage to look good without liposuction. Don’t blame the baby!!
Totally agree!
Besides, she IS a little bit fat -yes, there are fatter people, of course, but that doesn’t make her slimmer… Look at those legs!
i wouldn’t consider it fat.
not even close. she looks healthy-ish.
a little chubby, but no where near fat.
you forget that she’s 5’3, she probably looks tiny.
needless to say, if she doesn’t like her body, she should cover it up more.
“look at those legs”
you’re kidding right? The fact that you consider that fat is disturbing
and thats why she wants lipo
I don’t like how she looks I don’t like her words. She looks fatty and she says silly stuff. I think she is not trying really to get back into shape because it was said before she is going to have one more kid and get fat again
She’s so full of crap! Boo hoo she had ONE baby and she wants lipo? Come on! There’s was a show on TLC (not Jon & Kate or the Duggars) who was very thin and had had 6 kids! 5 of them at one time! My grandma had 7 kids and looked better than her! It’s called diet and exericse, and not just saying you’re doing it and stuffing your face with chocolate and tv dinners and what not all day (if you’ve ever watched her show you’d totally understand). It’s amazing how lazy she is! I just can’t believe it.
Well, I can understand her.. I gained a lot of weight in my stomach and my baby was over 10 pounds.. I love my baby to death, but i still hate the loose skin..
Oh come on, some of the commenters need to stop getting so offended at some of the most innocent things. First of all, she’s NOT fat. She’s bigger than she used to be and has more fat on her, but if I saw her walking down the street I’d never go, “Woa that chick is fat.” Even if she’s a little larger than her ‘ideal body weight’, which seems to be a phrase thrown around a lot on this website, I highly doubt she’s going to have any serious health repercussions from that. Saying she wants lipo doesn’t have anything to do with some sort of lack of appreciation or even love of her new baby boy and husband. Atleast she’s honest, she can afford to have it, and admitts she probably will good for her. I bet dozens of other post pregnant celebs get it, but would never ever in a million years admitt to it. There are ones who do it the healthy way yes, like exercising and dieting, but you don’t know how Kendra’s body reacted to pregnancy, I mean you could have watched the show, but you don’t really know. Kudos for her for being real.
The fact that she blabs more about her body than her kid proves she doesn’t love him and probably is an awful mom. Sure she loves the kid in a typical ‘mom-kid’ way but that is it. She can’t be happy unless she has the ‘perfect body’? So right now, when she doesn’t have the body she wants, she’s not happy? Despite having a beautiful little baby? As a new mom, how can you POSSIBLY be unhappy just because your body doesn’t look the same way it used to? That should be the LAST thing on your mind after having a baby.
She JUST had a baby, how can she be more worried about losing weight than taking care of her baby? Not saying she doesn’t take care of it, but certainly she could put more effort in it.
Plus she always claimed to be so ‘sporty’, yeh right sporty girls manage to lose weight without even trying. If she’s so sporty, why doesn’t she go out there and be ‘sporty’? No doubt that she’d lose weight fast if she’d get off her lazy ass. Women with her kind of money and at her age should have no problem losing the weight, yet she wants lipo? That is as stupid as heidi montags surgeries were.
I’m sure she didn’t mean it to come out the way she said it, but she is superficial and without a doubt a bad mom.
She’s cheap, she’s a nobody, she has no talent. Let’s not forget the only reason she’s famous is because she slept with a pervy old man. She’s worse than Kim and Paris combined, atleast they got their money from their rich parents instead of selling their dignity to some old disgusting man.
“The fact that she blabs more about her body than her kid proves she doesn’t love him and probably is an awful mom.”
Ummm.. what the hell?
Well I think that even if she does talk about her baby a lot, editors will just pick the things she says about her body to publish because that’s ulitmately what people want to hear about most.
agreed. thats what i thought…..YOU DONT KNOW HER..lol
What does having body issues have to do with not loving your baby? Remember she is in the public eye and typically KNOWN for having a fit and sexy body. After her pregnancy, yes she gained weight, but not a tremendously unhealthy amount. But still, gossip mags and critics make mean comments and things about her which would be pretty upsetting to anyone.
If I were in the public eye and was constantly being criticized about my body and how I’m “not as fit as I used to be” and how I’m “fat”, yes I think I’d have a few issues myself. And if I had the money for surgery to fix it, sure I’d do it.
I mean, it’s not like she hasn’t been trying to lose the weight naturally, she has. She just has some loose skin and a pooch. If surgery can fix that, so what? As long as it makes her happy.
Actually being “sporty” (I prefer athletic) which she was before her pregnancy, can make it harder to actually lose weight. Being an athlete myself, i can maintain being fit and trim but can never manage to lose weight. And it’s pretty apparent she still has her athletic physique despite the weight gain which probably makes her look thicker because of muscle mass.
the way she said it was the offensive part.
“being fit and sexy is what makes me happy”?? really?
she couldn’t put it in a less shallow way?
she makes it sound like nothing else makes her happy, therefore doesn’t matter to her.
she should get her priorities right, or learn how to express herself in a clearer manner.
Oh btw, how her ‘body’ reacted to the pregnancy, are you serious? She had no problem putting out a workout DVD and going on magazines bragging how she ‘loves’ her new body. With this she basically is saying all the things she’s said before to the media are lies.
Kudos for you for sticking up for this useless trainwreck, i’m pretty sure everyone else is smart enough to see what a fake she is unlike you.
No health repercusions. But she looks fat(not terribly huge and obese). Chubby. While she’s saying she’s fit.
You too should respect others’ opinions. In my view she’s a fat woman. Don’t mean to hurt anyone. Just an opinion.
Oh, for pete’s sake. Fat compared to whom? 90 percent of Hollywood actresses? Listen, I’m not a fan of this woman but you have to be blind or completely unbalanced to think she’s fat. I’m starting to think a lot of the posters here only say things to get a rise out of people.
And no one has to respect anyone’s opinion. Respect is EARNED, not freely given.
agree 1000000000000000%
kudos on the kick a** reply.
Gigi u EARNED my respect, and im sure the respect of many more.
thank you
You have to be kidding. If you think she’s fat, you must have a distorted view of what a healthy weight is. She looks healthy to me. Yes, she has a pooch, but that’s all I can see that is less than perfectly fit to me. If you saw her walking on the street would you think “wow, she’s FAT!”? Because if you would, you must think about 95% of the world is “fat”.
a voice of reason. I was starting to worry. i know so many mothers who are struggling to get their pre baby figures back, some never will because the skin has been stretched too far, and yes they miss feeling good about their looks- the shallow vain evil people that they are! i imagine if your entire career had been based on it, it would be an even bigger struggle to adapt. and what a bunch of hypocrites- every single person on this site cares about body image- at least she is open honest and doing something about it!
never thought i would be defending a playbody bunny- wow.
Don’t get me wrong, I love this website, but I am starting to get annoyed at how many posts are dedicated to Kendra, Kim K, Jessica Simpson and the rest of the fame whoring celebrities who make one contradictory statement after another about their bodies. One week it’s, “I love being curvy!”, “I wouldn’t trade my curves for being a size 0!”, and “Being voluptuous is sexy!”; the next week it’s, “Look how I lost 10 pounds!” and “Now that I exercise and eat healthy, I’m so much happier!”
COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!
great point!
proves how fake fame w**** are.
confidence is a play for them.
Agree, agree, agree!
I can’t stop laughing about all these comments on this topic.
You are seriously OFFENDED that she thinks being fit and sexy makes her happy???
This woman is a freakin’ Playboy model with a laugh that proves her intellect! What is she supposes to say? Dieting, working out, looking “sexy” (aka trashy), having implants, being blond- that’s her life!
Whatever, I’m sure she will also pursue her studies in astrophysics to live her life as happy as she possibly could…
I don’t think anyone is particularly offended, more like baffled at how shallow (and hypocritical) she comes across.
Those sorts of magazines don’t ask about you loving your children. Even in an article about a family relationship, Star will point out that the mom gained wait and whoa! she lost weight and make a big issue out of it.
Every post-birth interview is ALWAYS about losing the baby weight, even long after the child can be considered a baby. Give her a break.
well.. i dont like her at all, BUT
theres nothing wrong with saying that looking good makes you feel happy. i think we are all on this website because we are interested in looking good. this website is dedicated to looks, not how deep and nice someone is.
looking good makes people treat you better, it just makes things easier. i know because i take good damn care of myself and it gets me things. like skipping line in nice clubs, just strangers being nicer to me. its how it works, the world is very visual.
doesnt mean that people who take care of themselves and love to look good dont have other interests. i love many other things like traveling, art, playing music, acting, etc. i think kendra can love her baby and want to look good too. one doesnt cancel out the other.
anyway its annoying to see people attack a celebrity for saying looking good is important for them. its important for all of them, but not everyone comes out and says it.
that’s sad that she cant be happy with her body, no matter the shape. I’m sure it is difficult to watch your body change so much, especially when she was so phisically fit.
This is why I think it is so important to stay healthy during pregnancy and not become a bottomless pit for junk food. Not only is all that junk bad for the baby, but if you know you want to bounce back quickly after pregnancy, you’ve got to watch your food intake and maybe to some light exercise.
I’m surprised that as much of a workout fanatic she was before the baby, she didn’t work out at all during pregnancy(her words, not mine). Personally I think she looks good, and maybe if it’s that difficult for her, she’s not meant to be super tiny like she was before.
pretty immature.And if you re pregnant and you want to look like your old self soon again…well,you have to care about what you eat during your pregnyncy and yes, you are actually allowed to do sports.Like yoga,pilates etc.
This old rule “I m eating for 2″ is bull.A lot of pregnant woman who cared a lot about their body seem to think that you can eat as much as you want during the pregnancy.But that s wrong and it causes the fact that more and more newborns are much bigger than 20 years ago.Some babies are already overweight when they re born.
And it s much harder for the women to lose the pounds.But if you eat right,exercise in a healthy way during pregnancy and start doing it again after (giving birth) 5-6 weeks you have good chances to get your old body back.And as someone who doesn t has to work in the way a lot of mums out there have to, it should ve been no problem for her.
She should stop taling about it,because people actually get the image you have of yourself the more you tell them.No wonder a lot of people think she doesn t look good.But in the end- who cares.
She looks really healthy in the photo.
Wow! How much more superficial can you get? She should try working out and eating a well balanced diet. She should stop complaining that she treated her body like a garbage can while pregnant..
I can’t believe how harsh people are being! it’s unacceptable to say things like “she doesn’t even deserve to have a kid” “she doesn’t love her kid”
whoa calm down!
yes her comment is shallow so what? she wants to be fit and sexy. we all do, I think most young women feel the happiest when they re confident and look good
and let’s not forget she is an ex playboy model, and a d list celebrity that works because of her looks, who has gotten where she is only because of them!
Even though she’s nowhere near fat, she has her own issues.
Anyway, whether people find it incredibly shallow or just natural, I don’t think such terrible comments should be made.
Lately I m quite shocked by some comments and actually wonder how come they pass moderation, especially in this Niecy Nash one!
I agree.
I hope her next baby is NOT a girl. Can you imagine the damage it would do to that child to have a mother like Kendra? removed by admin*
I guess when your ONLY claim to fame is being a “hot blonde,” your universe crumbles when you get a bit chubby. Tragic.
she looks great, for a woman who`s had a baby, maybe she could lose a few kilos but she doesn`t need lipo…
I cannot believe how people are reacting to this. Just because you are unhappy with your post pre-pregnancy body, and wish to have surgery to fix it, does not mean you do not love your baby or that you are a bad mom. Her body is her job. Even though she is not a high fashion model, she’s a model nonetheless. Do we honestly believe all these models have babies and magically return to having taut tummies, no stretch marks or cellulite by eating right and exercise? Puhleeze! If you want to fix it, and you have the resources to do it, by all means do it.
Wow, I’m surprised at how harsh most of these comments!
Honestly, I see nothing wrong with what she’s saying. She’s being honest, and that’s how MOST women feel after they have a baby. They love the baby, and they don’t love what it did to her body. I think that her honesty is far better than the hypocrisy of celebrities who claim to love their “saggy” boobs and “poochy” stomachs b/c it’s all part of their love for their healthy, womanly childbearing body…Give me a break. I applaud Kendra for her honesty.
I applaud her for her honesty at all times, like in this old interview where she talks about getting her butt to look good in jeans http://2.0television.com/index.php?vid=68
LOL
Ha ha..I think Kendra looks cute chubby! I’m sure she’ll get her toned body back sooner than later
Hell, my mom gained 55lbs to have me, and it was off in 4 1/2 months. Thats cause she worked her ass off in the gym and watched what she ate. Kendra should take a note if she wants her body to look (close to) how it was before. The whole time I was watching her show, all she was doing was eating crap. You can’t complain about your weight if you aren’t doing anything about it.
I really like Kendra. She seems very sweet, but she isn’t motivated to lose weight. She wants it to just come off.
Kudos to your mother, but some people don’t really have the time or energy to work their ass off at the gym and watch what they eat when they have children.
let me ask something to moms, but please be honest…if you had the money, and the time…wouldnt you go under the knife to get your old body back…i dont justify her, what she said is really shallow but i am almost completley sure that most moms would…And about not loving her son, I dont think we can decide that becase of 3 paragraphs.
You’re all so annoying. I am young, slim, fit and work hard to be that way. She was the same before her child. It’s what she saw when she looked in the mirror and it must be such a huge change as i’m sure it is for other mothers who were also very slim and fit before they had a child. I know if i was to have a child, I’d be very upset if I couldn’t get back into shape because that’s how I am and it’s how I live. There’s nothing wrong whatsoever with her stating that.
and also just to add, it is so ridiculous how people are calling her ‘shallow’ and ‘a bad mother.’ Firstly, just because she wants to look physically appealing doesn’t mean she neglects her child in any way. I am certain that every mother wishes they had the time to get back into shape and take better care of themselves. This doesn’t mean they don’t love their children, it’s not selfish, it is human.
I agree. I think she’s an idiot, but to say she’s selfish and neglectful is taking it a bit too far.
I don’t like her either haha never thought i’d find myself defending her but people are being so stupid.
This woman really irretates me and in my opinion she`s ot sexy at all especially those fat short legs
I too am going to defend Kendra (never thought this day would come!). I understand what she’s saying, perhaps she didn’t put it across in the best way but I don’t think she’s famous for her intellect.
I had baby #2 15 weeks ago and I absolutely love him to death. Before pregnancy I was UK size 6/8 and 115 lbs. I took care of myself, pilates twice a week, had a job so wasn’t sedentary all day, walked lots and being allergic to dairy and sugar wasn’t able to pig out on anything ‘bad’. I still put on over 40 lbs.
Post preg I still have around 20 lbs to lose. I have a life and kids so can’t work out etc as much as I’d like to. I love my baby but I don’t love how my body looks. 15 weeks in (I hope!) there’s time for me to get back to normal, it took 9 months to put on so I won’t worry until 9 months later it’s still all there.
If at that time I’m still not happy and I had the resources I would consider surgery to fix it. I am happiest when I am how I usually look. I’m not depressed about the baby weight but if I could have it all gone now I would. Of course I wouldn’t trade my son in but as has been said, we are in a visual society and I want to look my best. Does this make me a bad mother? Should social services be involved?!
Come on people, lighten up!
Good on you, obviously your priorities change with children and I think it’s great you still have the motivation to take care of yourself. There’s certainly nothing wrong with that, I really encourage it. You can love your children and still love yourself too! and congrats on what you’ve lost so far.
why do you all seem to hate her so much or something? i think she didn’t want to say “i hate my baby for making me fat” or “my looks are more important than everything else in the world” or “when the first baby pisses us off we will have another” or anything like this. What she wanted to say is what she really said, can’t it be truth? Probably she just meant that even after having babies she will aim to look good and she’s ready to pay for that. I don’t say it’s the best opinion in the world but why do we like to be so judgmental? Let her be a bit superficial but have her happy wealthy lovely life!
she’s like Jessica Simpson #2, talk only about her weight
if she didnt eat so many doritos and fast food during her pregnancy she wouldnt have gained so much and now be stuck with so much extra chub and thunder thighs. duh!!
i believe to each their own. if she wants to do it, then go ahead. this website is dedicated to women of all shapes and sizes, and many of you would change something if you could. i think she looks great honestly, but if she wants to be slimmer, then i say go for it.
From watching her for a little bit I think that shes a pretty cool person. She’s just honest lol. I don’t understand what people want…first they get mad because people lie about getting plastic surgery then they get mad if they are honest. When a person is famous do you realize how many times a day they get called fat if they aren’t a certain way. I couldn’t handle it. Besides that’s how they get their money. We get our money by getting an education or a degree…so we do it just like celebrities stay thin to make their living. Is it right? no. But that’s the way it is!
do you people enjoy being mean? you think she is fat? who the hell cares. you hate her? stop talking about her so much, then. if you dislike her stop reading articles about her i mean you like reading stuff about somebody you consider shallow, an idiot, a bad mom, etc., and that to me only makes you the stupid ones. i dont know what people find so entretaining about being mean, its pointless, and if you really dislike somebody so much, maybe you shouldnt write three thousand paragraphs about that person or even read articles about her. oh, and one more thing; why do you talk about kendra like you lived with her? none of us really knows what her life is like even if we watch the show. oh, and i am blonde and many comments said stuff that were pretty awful about blondes.
Good for her to admit that looks are important. It’s important to feel good about the person you are on the inside, but it’s okay to want to be thin and pretty and fit. Vanity has gotten a bad rap in my opinion. I don’t want a double chin or flabby legs…I want a flat stomach and jeans that are a size 4, not a size 14 and admitting that doesn’t make me superficial. People can love who they are on the inside, have self respect and still want and have a rocking body on the outside.
