Jillian Michaels Says No To Pregnancy For Her Body!
Filed under: Baby Blabber
Kinda cold, but she doesn't want any babies in her toned belly!
Trainer Jillian Michaels has revealed that she doesn't plan to get pregnant because of the way it would change her body. She explains:
"I'm going to adopt. 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 being honest. Plus it's her body and her choice — and she does have a rockin' bod!

Dr. Drew Won't Shut Up!
Back To TV!
well that's kind of callous…. part of being a parent is to be self sacrificing and having someone else come first in your life … but if she's into rescuing something she should try the pound. There are plenty of things there that need a rescue.
No self-respecting fertilized egg would implant itself in such a hostile environment so I don't think she has to worry.
"when you rescue something"
A baby is not a something, it's a human being. And if your too vain to sacrifice looking different for your child, maybe you don't need children!
I thought it was Paula Abdul at first.
good for her for helping a child who needs it. And also for standing up for gay rights.
is she lesbian btw? just curious
She doesnt want to have sex with a man. She is a lesbian. ICK
I like to see a woman be her own person and make her own decisions without intimidation.
I know it's her right but for her reason is nuts. If you have a good natural thin body then it won't hurt it. But then I just remembered she used to be overweight. Still though, she has issues.
Good choice, its her life, and anybody who judges her or calls her selfish should really shutup. There's children in the world who need a family. This is just as good.
wow i've never heard of anyone being so honest about not wanting to get pregnant. But i kinda agree with her, im 30 and still not sure i ever want kids either.
What's cold about wanting to give a child a home and family. Giving birth isn't the only way to become a mother.
No surprise coming from her. I think she's a phony bitch.
Stupid fucking reason to not have a child…one I'm sure she will one day regret
Re: Human Sushi Platter – lol! great post
Re: overated – there is nothing ICK about being a Lesbian..the only thing ICK is you
For someone who's ENTIRE career is convincing ppl that with hard work and healthy choices they can transform their bodies into lean machines… She shouldn't contradict the foundation of her business…. and couldn't do "that" to her body.. DO WHAT? It's natural for a woman to conceive.. WHAT A HYPOCRITICAL BUNCH OF B.S…. Why can't she buy some of HER OWN diet "supplements", do her own "work out video", and practice what she preaches? WHAT A FRAUD..
With nearly 7 billion human on this over-populated, polluted planet, choosing NOT to reproduce is socially responsible. Kudos to her for adopting.
Her life. Her choice. Her reasons are nobody else's business. There are plenty of kids that need families in this world anyway.
Good for her wanting to adopt, so many kids are unwanted in countries all over the world. I don't think her words were tactfully chosen about not wanting to 'do that to her body'. Heidi Klum sure looks DAMN spictacular after multiple pregnancies!
She says on her fb page that you are full of crap, REzzie… Besides, it's her body, her choice…who cares what YOU think of that choice!
kind of ignorant, because not all women balloon up after pregnancy, but yes it is her choice.
lol reminds me of that girl from welcome home, roscoe jenkins
i agree 100%!
it'll ruin her body!
when you rescue something??????? So a girl or a boy is a SOMETHING..good start…don't think u should adopt at all…..
"when you rescue something"?!?! God help any child this woman adopts. a child is not a puppy that you "rescue" from the shelter. maybe it was just a poor choice of words on her part, but it sounds pretty cold. also, if she is a trainer, wouldn't she, of ALL people, realize that if you work hard after pregnancy it IS possible to get your pre-baby body back? jesus, people that selfish have no business even CONSIDERING becoming a parent.
When you rescue "something"? Really? Children are things these days? Oh my, I hope she steers away from children, biological or adopted.
My daughter is worth EVERY SINGLE ONE of my stretch marks. Every single one of them.
It's HER body - NO ONE has a right to judge her for what she wants or doesn't want to do with it.
It never ceases to amaze me that women are always wanting 'pro-choice' relative to having control over their own bodies, etc. but when someone actually CHOOSES to NOT get pregnant, ( no abortion, no nothing, its like, just not for them) , women come out of the woodwork, shrieking that she is 'selfish,' 'hostile,' etc. Believe it or not, there ARE actually women who have fulfilling lives, help others and still have made the decision not to have kids. I am one of them. Looking back, now that I am in my late fifites, I have absolutely no regrets….I have seen many of my friends have kids, some had a great time, had guys who were good providers, fathers, etc. and I have had other friends, who decided to have kids, lost the man in their life, sank into poverty, are fat and miserable and the kids are screwed up because of being raised by someone who didn't think out their decision and ultimately couldn't afford to give them a good life. I think that kids are a great gift, but you really have to make sure that you can afford to take care of them and that you have a partner who has your back in this huge endeavor. Its not for everyone. I can't help but wonder if some of those who criticize us "childless' people as 'selfish,' etc. are secretly angry that they made a decision that has negatively affected their whole life and they resent us who chose not to do it!
I'm an adoptive mother. Anyone who refers to the adoption of a child as "rescuing something" does not deserve the honor of being a mother.
mother of god, don't give this woman a baby . . . .
Re: Human Sushi Platter – HAAAAAAAAAa !!!!
someone not willing to ruin their body to become a mother, shouldn't become a mother period. I agree with #1, there's plenty needing "rescuing" needed at the pound.
This shallow bitch doesn't deserve the love and joy a baby brings.
I have nothing against adoption as I think it's wonderful to give a child a loving home and the affection he/she deserves, but using your figure as an excuse not to have a child for fear of ruining it is the most selfish thing I have ever heard! You become a mother when you realize that life isn't about you and you are just willing to sacrifice everything for another human being. I think Jill has a fear of gaining weight because she was overweight in her youth, but she of all people should know that you can bounce back after pregnancy with diet and exercise!
Re: magnolia237 – Hey, I do see your point - it is her life, her body, her choice.
-
But, her comment of: "when you rescue something, it's like rescuing a part of yourself" is just so blantantly self-serving, I can't see her as "Mom" material.

Re: KrysCullenlovin – How is this just as good? Anybody who values their body over their child should not have any children anyways.
Selfish ugly bitch!
Seriously. While Yeah for her to adopt. they ways she says "rescue Something" omg. it sounds like she is talking about a dog not a human child. and seriously they way she is. i don't think it would ruin her body she would get right back into shape. look at all the celebs and models who have done it.
It's fair enough if someone doesn't want children, and adoption is wonderful, but adopting because you don't want to have to carry a child and give birth??? That's ridiculous - to be honest it seems to indicate that she doesn't have the necessary qualities to be a mother - parents are supposed to put their children first.
I wouldn't insert any body part of mine into this psycopathic women. She is pathetic and this comment makes it sound like she was raised by Joan Rivers and Hitler. Go crawl in a hole.
What a silly and baseless reason to forego having a child or children. Issues? The women I know have better bodies after kids, because they then put effort into getting their bodies back, and caring for children keeps them slimmer than before when they could skip physical activity if they felt like it. Sure, some gain, but none that I know so far.
Re: animaserena – AMEN MAMA
I've seen better bodies than hers!
when i see people giving birth i never want to do that in my life, but i do hope to have a child one day through adoption. i think what she said was fine, she was just being honest. just because she doesn't want to deal with her body changing doesn't mean she is not fit to be a mother!
I think having kids is overrated and making a choice of what you want to do with your body is just that, Your choice. Kids are very ungrateful any way and as soon as they reach they're teen they are a true hardship. Taking care of some other bimbo's kid might be just as well. Kids SUCK!!! LMAO
Can't stand her self-righteous attitude and pimping her diet stuff. If she wants to "rescue something" she should consider a pet, hopefully one that doesn't require too much maintenance.
Adoption is not about rescuing, but I am sure she will realize that at some point in her "paper pregnancy". Other than that comment, at least she is being honest, she wants a child, but whether that child is biologically related to her is obviously not important to her or perhaps she would sacrifice her body.
Personally i have a chronic health condition that makes pregnancy more difficult and can temporarily exasperate my condition, but it is not impossible or significantly risky by any means. I am adopting because having a biological child is not important to me, and I have the money to adopt. I see no difference in my position.
I agree with her all the way. There are way too many kids that need parents in the world already yet selfish breeders are always like OMG I NEED TO HAVE MY OWN AND AS MANY AS POSSIBLE
Just by making that statement alone your to much of a selfish pig to ever have a child even an adopted one!
Re: AnnieFirefly –
If you want kids and there are two options before you, unless you are hung up on wanting your child to be your genetic offspring, what does it matter if you choose the option that seems more convenient to you for whatever personal reasons exist?
Adoption is not easier for various reasons, its just the issues are different, so if the physical thing seems more difficult to her than adoption for personal reasons i.e. physical fitness is her life, I see no reason to judge.
Well if shes not willing to sacrifice adding on a few extra pounds, maybe she shouldn't be a mother.
And i also think she is a little tooo muscular, it's not womanly at all!
OMG look at all the comments from women who probably got pregnant tons of times by accident calling her selfish and undeserving of being a mother even if by adoption…
you really think you deserve it when yours was unplanned and prob out of wedlock and underage?
losers!
get over it, the world doesnt need any more babies and yours is no more special because it came from your womb than an adopted one!
Poor baby. She'll probably make it do sit ups and pull ups in it's crib. And earn food by lifting it's rattle up and down…she's soooooooo MEAN!!
Re: magnolia237 – hey! I totally understand your perspective. I am in my early 20's and I'm not convinced I want
to give birth to my own kids or have kids at all. I would love love
love to adopt kids one day if given the chance. When I tell people
I don't really want to be pregnant and give birth they look at me
all judging and exasperated. Bottom line, it is MY choice, and I am
all about women having rights to their bodies! Just because I'm
a woman does not mean my sole purpose in life is to pump out
babies. Everyone has a different idea of what they want their life
to be, and mine may be a little unconventional, but it is my life!
I love kids, I am a nanny and a k-5 teacher, and I'm not a
"cold" or "selfish" person at all. I guess Jillian and I are alike
in the fact that we have our own definitions of womanhood. And
I don't think she purposefully meant to refer to children as
"things", totally just sematics. Maybe another word woulda been
better, but jeeze people don't burn her at the stake. Jillian's
choices are her own and I respect that! I wish people would
respect me for mine as well.
ummm, not a big surprise she's going to adopt as she's a lesbian…
Is she gay, or just a supporter
She probably can't stand the thought of having a man's sperm inside her, even if it's artificially inseminated!!!
I don't agree but it's her body. Plus not having a kid has been proven to help the earth. And btw she admitted she was bisexual not lesbian.
Its called an eating disorder.
good for her, tho I agree the way she said it wasn't the most tactful, but it's her choice.
Good points all around. I am only having a baby if I'm absolutely in love with my husband or BF, I couldn't do it alone. fuck that.
Her body…her right.
I applaud her honesty, but if she would have started having kids A LOT YOUNGER than 40 years, it would have been easier. And if she's that selfish, she should not be having ANY children, biological OR adopted.
Re: magnolia237 – Go girl..that's right…SO many women regret having kids but society does not let them admit it.
I agree with VeganVal. And I totally get where Jillian is coming from. Furthermore I am sorry, I know it's a natural and beautiful thing, but pushing a watermelon sized human being out of a little V-jay opening is just something I will never be able to bring myself to do. Call me shallow. Sorry.
Re: diajamb –
what are you doing on his site if you don't approve then?
Re: poorlittlerichiegirl – Where did you clone your opinion from? A Catholic nun?
I do think maybe she should take Octomom's babies if she wants something to rescue. lol
Is she out of the closet yet?????
Seriously? It takes a real woman to pass another human through your own and to come out looking better than before. Leave the rescuing for the women that truly cannot bear their own!
Re: Lexitown – right on!
Re: middle america – Right on…you couldn't be more correct…
Gee-maybe she will really help and adopt a teen here in the good ole USA and not run off to Namibia for a baby or some shizz like every other celeb…shame these older kids get forgotten. Doesn't sound like the sacrificing type though-not good parent material…maybe a mentor.
She won't get pregnant because she would have to lay off the roids.
what a fucking puss!!!!!!
if she really wanted to adopt it would be for a different reason
hope she never gets the chance to fuck up some poor little kids life!!!!!!
Selfish, but I respect.
rescuing "something", that certainly starts out with a bang.
Re: thepaparazzi – Hey. Women can have good muscles and still be ultra feminine. Unless the observer is, oh, I dunno, shallow. What if some woman told you that if you don't have a physique like Daniel Craig, that you're a little toooo skinny and that it doesn't look masculine at all? This perfection thing of yours doesn't allow for different body types. You do realize that by having little muscle, your choice of woman would be that way by not working hard, right?
is she going to be rescuing some kittens?
I thought it was an article on Paula Abdul when I saw the photo…she don't look so hot.
wow what an egomaniacal bitch.. sorry, I can understand if people don't want to have kids but .. purely bc of stretching? WTF do think is going to happen to your body in 20 years naturally??
And I'm ALL FOR adoption, but "rescue someTHING to rescue part of YOURSELF" - wow. A baby is not a thing, and giving a human child a home is more important than making yourself feel better about your wonderful generosity. Fucking cold.
So, she's completely capable of conceiving children, but she doesn't want to in fear of her look? There are women who would LOVE to be able to conceive but can't due to medical reasons. This just sounds so selfish. She shouldn't be allowed to be a parent.
Maybe her girlfriend will carry a baby for the both of them.
she's not "cold" for choosing not to be a baby machine. just because she has a vajajay doesn't mean she has to breed! what's wrong with adoption?
i was just out at a club for the first time in a few months and the first guy who talked to me asked if i wanted to have kids. W to the TF!!!
for the most part, i love your perspective, perez, but your double standards kinds stink in these instances…i dare ya to walk in michaels' heels!
She seems more selfish than anything. I wouldn't want to breed with her though, I bet her vag has teeth.
Re: magnolia237 –
Perfectly stated. I couldn't have said it better. I'm so sick of women attacking other women for making the decision to not have children.
What an idiot!
I agree, it's great she would like to adopt, but she considers adoption rescuing "something". Not good. And when did having a child have to change your body forever?I have had children and my body looks just as good as hers.
Re: Indigo – lol!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: goodtasteishardtofind – you actually could
Re: jeezlol – do you honestly believe that????????????
What?? Plenty of women have babies and bounce back just fine after…I agree it's her choice but c'mon! How vain can you get! She should have kept that reason to herself! Now she just looks like a selfish, vain moron!!! dumb, dumb, DUMB!!
Re: Human Sushi Platter – LOL. You crack me up
It's too bad she's so in love with herself that she refuses to ruin her body for her own baby. My hips are a little wider after having my daughter, but she is totally worth it. If she's too stuck up to make that sacrifice, maybe she shouldn't have or adopt a child at all. Parenthood is all about sacrifice.
You people are so fucking judgmental! Who gives a fuck if she doesn't want a child the old fashion way! She is thinking of adopting for Christ sakes!! Are you aware of the number of unwanted children that are in desperate need of a loving home??? So many say she is being selfish because she doesn't want to ruin her body…but I think she is being the exact opposite. She is giving an unwanted child a second chance at life!
body goes right back to what it was–just better. Especially if you enjoy exercise. If she does not want biiological kids fine, but to not ruin her body is silly and does not show she has confidence in herself.
what, doesn't she trust that she could pull it back into shape?
She was obviously comfortable enough to put breast implants in her body.
It's not that she's being "selfish" because she does not want to have her own child, it's the reasoning behind it that is selfish. I wouldn't know, but having a child is supposed to be one of the most memorable and beautiful moments of your life, but if you want to give that up SIMPLY because you don't want to "ruin" your body… that's kind of farfetched. I mean, she is a personal trainer and if she takes a good look at all of the supermodels and everyone else who have had children… their weight is gone within weeks and im sure that she would be the same. Adopting is beautiful and a wonderful thing to do, good for her, but the reasoning behind not wanting to have a child is just pathetic.
p.s. are you sure she can even have her own kids? the first time i saw her i thought that she was a man… i mean… are you sure she's a female!?
I CAN'T STAND THIS STUPID BITCH. GOOD! I'M GLAD SHE ISN'T GOING TO TAINT SOME POOR KID AND MAKE THEM A MINI-HER BODY BUILDING FREAK!
THAT IS WHY ANGELINA HAS ALWAYS HAD SURROGATES CARRY HER CHILDREN BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT TO RUIN HER BODY, YES, SHE JUST WORE A PREGNANCY PILLOW MORONS! I JUST LOVE HOW SHE FOOLED EVERYONE INTO BELIEVING SHE ACTUALLY BIRTHED THEM. THEY WERE HER EGGS AND BRADS SPERM, BUT SHE DID NOT CARRY THEM!!!!!! IF YOU READ ANY OF HER INTERVIEWS PRE-KIDS SHE SAYS THIS MANY TIMES AND STILL NO ONE PICKS UP ON IT.
Re: LusciousLiz –
It's one less little shit being born. So what?
how selfish .. there are people that would give anything to be able to have children and she can but doesnt want to mess up her body? new flash if you believe everything you teach to people you would not be worried about getting back into shape and its not like a ton of women havent done it before. yes many kids need homes and adoption is a extremely good thing; but you should at least have your own kids if possible first and then you can always adopt as well
Re: Wenchtits – Little shits actually change your life forever in a good way…adopted or not
