Chrissy Teigen loves cooking and eating out. I follow her on Twitter. I used to follow her on Instagram but she posts too much. She has constant videos and photos of her meals out, her cooking and her cooking lessons. She’s a cookbook author and you can tell that food is her passion. Chrissy recently responded to a question about how she eats so much and stays slim. She tweeted that she’s 20 pounds heavier than before she had her second baby, son Miles, who turns one next month. She wrote that she’s happier than after having Luna, two, when she lost weight due to postpartum depression. She’s been open about her battle with depression and the fact that she takes medication for it. She’s also admitted that she weighs herself three times a day. Here’s what she wrote about her weight.
the thinnest I've ever been was right after Luna. Postpartum depression. I'LL TAKE THESE POUNDS AND THIS FEELING!

As US points out, so many women commiserated with Chrissy. I can definitely relate as it took me years to lose my baby weight, which I gained back plus some and then took years to lose again. It’s just how it goes, sometimes you lose sometimes you gain. How you feel is what matters and that should not be dependant on your weight.
Girl, same. After my second child, I was walking 4 miles a day after a long day, crying over laundry and barely eating. Post partum depression is a beast, and while I was the thinnest ever, I was the unhappiest ever. You're awesome for embracing the healthier you!

Having suffered from depression most of my life, and now having found what’s works for me (plus 50 lbs because of meds); I always say “I’d rather be fat and happy than skinny and dead!” Screw what anyone else thinks!!

Chrissy can be a bit much, but she’s genuine and she’s living out loud. There’s something admirable about that. She’s also not selling snake oil or claiming to have all the answers to motherhood and life. I realize that bar is low, but Chrissy has always exceeded it. Considering how much she tweets and interacts online I would expect her to have stepped in it more than she has.
yesterday we went to Joy in Highland Park & ordered, I am serious, everything on the menu. then we went to donut friend across the street and had apple fritters. then we went to somi somi for ice cream in k-town. then we went to Korean bbq. then I had a meatball sub at home.

Love her!!
Me too. Her personality never rubbed me the wrong way but I have similar personality to John (minus the signing talent) so maybe it is an opposites attract situation
me too! I wish I could just drop in at her house, have some wine and food and soak up her attitude for a while and then head on home and be a little bit more fun because of her influence.
I’ll have to settle for following her on Instagram 🙂
I like her too.
I appreciate her honesty and attitude as I am 7 months postpartum with my third, and I have never been a “bounce back” kind of person. I love food too, and while I am dieting to get healthier, I would never live a life without cupcakes.
Why do people feel the need to comment on her weight? So obnoxious.
I love Chrissy and her positivity.
She looks fantastic 🙂
Jeez, I’m twice the size of her and would never be able to eat the way she says she did in her first tweet (after the article). All I have to do is walk past a restaurant to gain a stone. Genetics are a cruel mistress.
That actually sounded odd to me–it’s more food than I ever would have eaten in my bingeing days (far in the past now, fortunately). Unless she was just tasting?
Constantly talking about and surrounding yourself with an excess of food is eating disorder behavior. I don’t say this as snark. If she is going through something, I wish her health and peace.
Women really can’t win either way, can they?
Win what? I am in no way judging her. In my personal experience, this kind of excess like the tweet about the whole day eating is about an unhealthy obsession with food based in disordered eating. Factor in the three times a day on the scales and other behavior, I think there unfortunately might be an issue.
-If- my thought is true, I wish her health and peace. Disordered eating is not a shameful issue, it is a health issue.
We sure can’t. It never takes long for the Concern Trolls to come out of the woodwork. Dr Concern Troll, in this case!
Food professionals obsess over food. Sommaliers obsess over wine. Sportswriters obsess over millionaires throwing balls around. Dog trainers obsess over doggos. That’s just how it works!
I think food is her business, more than a disorder. She writes cookbooks, and now has a line of cookware and dishes at Target. I think she loves food, loves to cook, Loves to entertain, loves to feed people, but also is coming up with improved recipes, new recipes for future cookbooks–which means she is surrounded by food more than most people. 🙂
That tweet describing excessive eating is what got my attention. It reminds me of a friend who is obsessed with ordering huge selections of food at restaurants, cooking huge meals at home and food is her favorite subject and topic on social media but she is also is focused on her weight in an unhealthy way that is disordered and because of her struggle, I was struck by how similar Chrissy Teigen sounded.
It is that mix of excess and obsession and dieting because Chrissy has also mentioned how little she eats when she’s preparing for a shoot.
Mary Kate Olsen and other celebrities have also had that combination of being focused on food while dealing with health issues.
It stood out to me but is only a theory and certainly not something I wish her to have.
I agree. I follow food bloggers who do and post the same kind of thing as she does. I follow a couple of people who write cool books and they are post videos of cooking multiple times a day and talk about how many recipes they cooked that day. There are some others that i follow who will go somewhere purely to try the food and that’s what’s they will do all day long, order all the food but they only try a few bits of most of it because they are just trying it. I’m sure she didn’t eat everything that she ordered all day and she was probably getting inspiration or ideas.
She looks GORGEOUS. super healthy and happy. That soccer photo is adorable.
I like her. She’s pretty unapologetic and does her. The way she and her husband are all in for each other makes me happy. Yay them!
I like her and John in the same way I like Pink & Carey Hart (OMG can you imagine if the 4 of them were friends!?!?). They are unapologetically themselves and don’t give AF what anyone seems to think.
I do find her a little more exhausting than Pink but otherwise I do like her.
Food is good…eat it!
I love her and am bummed that she’s now eating in my old neighborhood. Of course, when I lived there it was known as the murder capital of East LA and now you can’t get a 800 square ft. house on a postage stamp-sized parcel for under a quarter mil, but hey, it’s still my old bus stop!
