Gisele Bundchen - doing what women do

In this article below about the lovely Gisele Bundchen, the focus is on her weight. HER WEIGHT! Never mind the fact that she gave birth to a healthy baby, never mind that she chose to have a natural, water birth at home, never mind the fact that she's choosing to breastfeed her child.
Are these not the issues that should be the focus of the article, the headline events? I guess not; not when she's looking slimmer. What the fuck?

I sincerely hope that women and girls who read the article are able to see the bigger picture, for here is a healthy woman making the best choices possible for herself and her child. In so doing she's expanded her self worth and her ability to love deeply. Empowerment, positive body image and confidence are some of the side effects of such competent decision making. Congratulations, Ms. Bundchen, and may other women be inspired by your example.

Most women are happy if they lose even half their baby weight ten months after giving birth.
But Gisele Bundchen looked as if she didn't even gain a pound during her pregnancy, let alone lose it quickly.
The 30-year-old looked impossibly slender and toned as she hit the beach yesterday in Miami, holding little baby Benjamin in her arms.

But then Gisele's version of being pregnant and giving birth is slightly different from everyone else's.

Opting out of going to a hospital, she gave birth in her bath at home in Boston with her mother, husband Tom Brady and a midwife by her side.
And she insisted on no pain medication for the experience.
She said: 'My delivery was in a bath tub, in water. I wanted to have a home birth.
'I wanted to be very aware and present during the birth... I didn't want to be drugged up.
