Getting Skinnier Quote by Jenna Fischer
“Let me please stand in solidarity with all of the women who are not a size 2 six weeks after leaving the hospital. I thought, you read all of the stuff in magazines like, Oh, I breastfed my baby and I am so skinny now. I am breast-feeding my baby and I am not getting any skinnier! I think Im just going to be a little bit bigger for a little bit longer and thats fine with me.”
