 ppnyc, you have to decide what works for you.  it will probably annoy people if you whine about being fat when you could be working out in lieu of other activities, but as long as you don't freak out about them being annoyed, who cares?  You have to recognize and acknowledge that you have made a choice not to work out if you aren't going to work out, though.  It may be the best choice for  you right now, but it is still a choice.

 Well stated.  
FWIW, among the wives and mothers I was talking about who are in fantastic shape is my older sister.  She is an OBGyn, has a four year old son, twin two year olds, and adopted my younger sister's baby who just turned one.  Her husband is an orthopedic surgeon and yes, they have a live-in au pair.  That said, my sister watches what she eats and takes the kids on bike rides or otherwise is active and in shape.  She certainly has plenty going on.
