'Mommyrexia' Latest Ugly Hollywood Trend

NEW MOMMIES GOING to extreme lengths to shed the baby fat is nothing new, but an alarming new trend in Hollywood has even mothers-to-be like Victoria Beckham, January Jones and Rachel Zoe, who should be eating for two, "barely eating for one," as London's Daily Mail reports. It's so in vogue, in fact, that it has been given a name, "mommyrexia," and given way to a cottage industry devoted to making sure not only new moms but expectant ones maintain their pre-baby-bump bodies. Needless to say, health experts are alarmed, with mental health experts also weighing in. One psychiatrist notes, perhaps unnecessarily, that women "whose beauty is part of their allure" are most at risk. Making for another ugly trend from a town where beauty reigns.
