Chrissy Teigen has accepted motherhood and all of the big changes that come along with it — including her post-pregnancy weight gain. The former model got candid about her new body and her journey to acceptance.

On Twitter, the cookbook author and mom of two shared that many fans constantly ask her “How do you eat like this?”

Chrissy, 33, then admitted she had no real secret. She revealed that since the birth of her son Miles in 2018, she gained 20 pounds.

“I am 20 pounds heavier than I was before Miles,” she typed. “He's 10 months old, I never lost the last bit because I just love food too much.”

She added, "I’m just coming to terms with my new normal, when I had this certain number for so long!"

The former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model also confessed that though the scale shows a higher number, she is much happier at her current weight. “The thinnest I've ever been was right after daughter Luna,” she said before crediting the weight loss to her postpartum depression. “I'LL TAKE THESE POUNDS AND THIS FEELING!”
