We don’t ever often give the Kardashians credit, but Kourtney Kardashian set a good example for women last month. Of course, mother Kris than came along and ruined it.

Here’s what went down:

Following an OK! Weekly cover story that teased an “exclusive” with Kourtney and focused on her post-pregnancy diet secrets, the new mother called out the tabloid for photoshopping her picture and exaggerating her recent weight loss. In essence, Kourtney was confidently saying: I didn’t lose all my baby weight yet – and that’s okay.

What a refreshing attitude.

In the latest issue of Life & Style, meanwhile, Kardashian continues this trend and says: “It’s been hard to find time to work out. All I want to do is spend time with Mason…. Losing the weight has been a lot harder than I thought.”

Again, isn’t it nice to hear a celebrity not act as though the most important thing in life is to shed as much weight as possible, especially when provided with such an understandable, beautiful excuse as a newborn?

This makes it even more galling that mother Kris Jenner said in the same Life & Style article:

“Kourtney’s going to be just fine. She’s going to start QuickTrim. She’ll be sexy Kourtney again in five minutes.”

And if she’s not, Kris? Will you disown her for missing out on an opportunity to shill for such an unhealthy weight loss product?

When it comes to her first grandchild, you’d think Jenner could go a week without shamelessly plugging a product. Then again, we’re not sure why you’d think that. This is the Kardashian family, after all.
