Looking for yet another way Chrissy Teigen is relatable? The mom of two weighs more than she did before getting pregnant, and she's OK with it.
The bestselling cookbook author – whose Instagram Stories is filled with videos of her whipping up decadent dinners in her kitchen – took to Twitter to respond to one of the most common questions she gets asked: "How do you eat like this?!"
Her answer?
"Basically I am 20 pounds heavier than I was before Miles," she wrote. "He's 10 months old, I never lost the last bit because I just love food too much. Just coming to terms with my new normal, when I had this certain number for so long!"
She also made a point to note that her new normal includes improved mental health.
"The thinnest I've ever been was right after Luna . . . postpartum depression," she recalled. "I'll take these pounds and this feeling!"
