Chrissy Teigen gained 60 pounds while pregnant with son Miles

Chrissy Teigen has joked that she had a “good time” during her last pregnancy, which saw her gain 60 pounds.
The model and TV presenter gave birth to her son Miles, her second child with singer husband John Legend, in May (18). She’s not rushed into shedding weight following the birth, and told reporters at Elle U.K. magazine that she was more than happy to indulge while carrying the tot.
“I think it was mostly the eating binges, though,” she mused of the reason for her dramatic weight gain. “John used to make this sandwich and leave it for me at midnight. I’d literally just grab it in the night and eat it in the dark. Miles was like 4.5 pounds (two kilograms) and I gained 60 pounds (27 kilograms). I had a good time!”
Since giving birth, Chrissy has been open about the changes to her body, and regularly shares inspirational snaps of her post-baby figure. And the Lip Sync Battle star hates the way “flaws” such as stretch marks are edited out on photoshoots – because it promotes an unrealistic image of post-pregnancy bodies.
“Everyone Photoshops them (stretch marks) out. It’s insane. And I don’t want anyone to feel like they’re the only ones,” the 33-year-old said. “I was on a Victoria’s Secret shoot and it was a big turning point for me to see those women with scars and stretch marks and bruises. Who’s to say it’s even a flaw?”
Chrissy has been embarking on a healthy diet and exercise regime since giving birth to Miles. But living with her slender husband John has awakened the model’s jealousy, and she also joked that she’s forbidden him from working out at certain times of the day.
“He can’t work out while I’m awake because I’ll stop him. I’m just bitter. Seeing your husband get fit while you’ve got your post-baby body, I’m like, “F**k you, take a day off!”‘ she laughed.
