Too fit for kids? Jillain Michaels doesn’t want babies stretching out her well-toned tummy.
The Biggest Loser trainer doesn’t want to ruin her super-fit figure by getting pregnant, so she’s planning to adopt kids instead. Jillian was overweight as a child and after winning the battle with obesity she doesn’t want to risk undoing all that hard work by gaining weight with a pregnancy.
“I’m going to adopt,” the 36-year-old told Women’s Health Magazine this month. “I can’t handle doing that to my body. Also, when you rescue something, it’s like rescuing a part of yourself.”
At least she’s honest. However, Jillian’s remarks has attracted widespread criticism within in the health industry, with some experts accusing her of passing on dangerous ideas to other women about the “health risks” of pregnancy. Meanwhile, others have praised the fitness guru for wanting to open her heart to a child in need — no matter what her reasons.
