Chrissy Teigen says she weighs more than she did a few years ago, but sheโ€™s adjusting to her โ€œnew normalโ€ when it comes to her body.

Over the weekend, the Lip Sync Battle host and mother of Luna and Miles posted several videos and messages about cooking a โ€œthanksgiving dinner.โ€ She then paraphrased a question she gets often and answered it.

โ€œโ€˜how do you eat like this??โ€™ โ€” basically I am 20 pounds heavier than I was before miles,โ€ she said, referring to her son. โ€œHeโ€™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!โ€

She further tweeted, โ€œThe thinnest Iโ€™ve ever been was right after Luna. Postpartum depression. Iโ€™LL TAKE THESE POUNDS AND THIS FEELING!โ€

Itโ€™s all about perspective.

In an interview with ET following the birth of her oldest child, daughter Luna, Teigen shared how motherhood had changed her outlook.

โ€œHonestly, I was so stuck on the scale game,โ€ Teigen said of her old habits. โ€œLike, I was the kind of person that was, you know, pre-baby, I weighed myself like three times a day. I knew how much I weighed at 8 a.m., and I knew how much I was supposed to weigh at 1 p.m., and I knew how much I was supposed to weigh at 8 p.m.โ€

Now that sheโ€™s a mom, Teigen told ET that sheโ€™s much more comfortable with a less strict diet. โ€œI feel completely at food peace right now โ€” having a baby has given me this weird confidence,โ€ she said.

โ€œLike, listen โ€” Iโ€™m gonna have these little cheat days, these little cheat moments โ€ฆ I always send the email [before a photo shoot] like, โ€˜Just so you know, Iโ€™m not what I used to be!'โ€
