Emma Bunton Takes Slow and Steady Approach to Weightloss

While some celebrity moms — and even some of her own Spice Girl bandmates! — appear to effortlessly slide back into their pre-pregnancy jeans within a matter of weeks, Emma Bunton took a different path. In a new interview with the Daily Mail, the 32-year-old songstress and mom to 17-month-old Beau Lee says that despite gaining a “normal amount of weight” while pregnant it took one year to reclaim her pre-baby (UK) Size 10 form. Emma explains that she “did it very naturally and slowly,” adding,
“I went to the gym two or three times a week and ate healthily. I breastfed so you can’t go on stupid diets.”
In order to maintain her current weight, with which she is “really happy,” Emma exercises moderately, eats sensibly — and keeps a good perspective! “I go for a run or take our dogs for a walk, and I’m almost enjoying it,” she says. “It’s got to be about balance though, being healthy but not letting it rule your life.” That means occasionally indulging in pizza with friends, and even looking forward to making Beau — who “loves his cuddles” and whom she describes as “so good and funny” — a big brother. Emma adds,
“Beau is my all, my life and the reason I’m happier than ever. I’m enjoying being a mummy most of all, he’s so gorgeous.”
Beau is Emma’s son with longtime partner Jade Jones.

How refreshing that it took her a year to take off her baby weight and that she did it sensibly. Good for her! So many times it seems that these stars just drop it off effortlessly (and I know they have trainers, chefs, etc) I think it might make every day new moms feel a bit bad about themselves for not taking it off as quickly.

Emma is such a happy person. I really like the way she raises Beau. She is a wonderful mother.
