Rebecca Romijn Felt Pressure to Lose Weight
Posted by Adam
Rebecca Romijn says she felt pressure to lose her post-pregnancy pounds.
The Ugly Betty star — who welcomed twin daughters Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip on December 28, 2008 — says Hollywood made her feel like she needed to get back into shape.
“The pressure to lose weight definitely comes from the business,” she said. “But I have a way more important job at home with the babies. It’s not something I ever worried about.
“The weight that I gained felt very natural, losing it was very natural. And I still have some way to go. Hopefully I will lose the rest too – but those last 10lbs, man oh man!”
Romijin — who is married to actor Jerry O’Connell — recently revealed that she lost weight by breastfeeding.
“Breastfeeding is the very best diet I’ve been on,” she said.
“It’s like you have to eat 5,000 extra calories a day or you can’t produce enough food for them. So, that’s been fun as well.
“I’m not pretending to be back to the shape I was in beforehand. I still have a way to go.”
