Chrissy Teigen is one of the few celebrities who is brutally honest on social media and does not shy away from posting raw and unedited photos and videos of herself. And if her posts invite trollers, she is quick to shut them down with a sassy comeback (we love her for that). Right from her cooking videos, photos of her children to even trolling her husband John Legend on social media, Chrissy doesn’t hold back. And now, she is back with yet another video where she shares her ‘mom bod’ and openly accepts about her insecurities. Chrissy and John became parents to son Miles in May.
Yesterday, she started by sharing a video on Twitter of her stretch marks, which otherwise would be edited out by some influencers. She is heard saying in the video: “I guess these just aren’t gonna go away. This is my body.” She captions the video as ‘mom bod alert!’ Couldn’t get more honest than this.

She then got serious and explained her decision about posting the honest video of her ‘mom bod’. In the tweet she explained that where people are posting their amazingly hot bodies on Instagram, here she is posting about how a regular old body looks like.
Instagram is crazy. I think it’s awesome people have killer bodies and are proud to show them off (I really do!!) but I know how hard it can be to forget what (for lack of a better word) regular ol’ bodies look like when everyone looks bonkers amazing

also I don’t really call this “body confidence” because I’m not quite there yet. I’m still super insecure. I’m just happy that I can make anyone else out there feel better about themselves!

She further confessed that she’s far from unconditionally loving every inch of herself right now. She wrote that she doesn’t have ‘body confidence’ right now and is still ‘super insecure’. Her post will make other people out there struggling to feel more confident about themselves and embracing their post pregnancy weight and flaws that come with it. Motherhood isn’t easy but when people like Chrissy embrace it in its entirety, it makes us super happy and proud.
