Shanna Moakler blogs about being a 'healthy, average woman' after babies

In an entry to her MySpace posted early this morning, Shanna Moakler urges new moms to stop "beating up" on themselves and to take their time returning to pre-pregnancy shape.  According to Shanna, "there is no Hollywood secret" to losing weight after having a baby.

Most ‘starlets’ have plastic surgery, they use pills, drugs or they live in the gym for 4 to 6 hours a day, they are airbrushed, photoshopped (including myself on the photoshop); stop beating yourself up!!  It will all go back!  It took 9 months it might take a year getting back!  I’d rather be called Shanna Porker and be a healthy average woman then do what most do, to get that thin.

In any event, the former Miss USA says that the children she shares with estranged husband Travis Barker — 3 1/2-year-old Landon and 19-month-old Alabama, along with 8-year-old Atiana, her daughter from a previous relationship with boxer Oscar de la Hoya — help her keep perspective on the issue.

I look at my children and I am thrilled that my body will never be the same after having them….they were worth it!

I’ve never been a fan of Shanna Moakler’s but I got to admit, I’ve changed my tune since reading what she said on myspace. Seems there’s a trend in Hollywood where if any celeb woman who gives birth wants to drop the weight instantly. It’s nice to see Shanna doing some good in Hollywood as well as being a logical thinking woman. I’m sick of the only thing you hear about these days is the young out of control female celeb’s and their issues. I’d rather listen to a woman who doesn’t put herself out there in a negative light and spiral out of control. Great job Shanna, i’m a new fan! The chick rocks! Thanks Missy & CBB for posting this.

I think Shanna is so so pretty! I loved watching her and Travis…and I am obviously not up to date because I thought they were getting back together!!?? I know they are kind of a “crazy” couple…but I can’t help it, I luv ‘em!!! …and good for her setting such a positive example for moms and thier weight!

Shanna is so pretty, and her kids are beautiful. I feel bad she hasn’t had luck with Oscar or with Travis, but hopefully she will be ok. She is so honest and real, I love reading her myspace, she gives great makeup and beauty tips too. And she is one of the few celebrities that, didn’t bounce back to shape and was honest about it. She seems like a nice lady.

I really like what Shanna has to say as well.. People tend to be so hard on her, but remember she has had her career on her own & people tend to forget that i think. Her pics of her pageant days on her myspace were so cute!
