Angela Kinsey - The Office Star is Not in Shape

Looks can be deceiving, says The Office girl Angela Kinsey. The star, who wowed onlookers at her first after-baby awards show last spring, may look in shape. But really, she is not.

"Here's the thing; I'm not in shape," says the 37-year-old actress. "There's not as much of it, but none of it is toned." As for losing the weight that is anything but firm, she compares breastfeeding baby Isabel Ruby (now eight months old) to running a marathon. Of course, she does. All actresses do. Apparently, nursing just sucks it out of you. The Office pal Jenna Fischer works out all the time. But not Angela. All she does is pump, and she's good to go.

So maybe I'm just bitter about the whole breastfeeding-causes-rapid-weight-loss thing. It just isn't fair and so I assume it can't be real. But readers say it works. Eighty-nine of you responded to a recent poll asking if breastfeeding can make you skinny. Eighteen percent said it totally worked for you. And 13 percent said you've seen it happen. A bunch of readers are with me -- 23 percent said it's just not that easy. Then 22 percent said "who knows" and 11 percent said "who cares." Maybe I shouldn't care either. So it took me years (and a tummy tuck) to return to my former pre-baby self. I should just be happy with the path my body took. Yea, but I'm not. Bitter.
