Jessica Simpson: 'My Body Is Not Bouncing Back Like a Supermodel'

"I let myself indulge in everything I wanted because it was the first time I was ever pregnant, and I wanted to enjoy it." That's Jessica Simpson, talking to USA Today about the weight she gained while incubating daughter Maxwell Drew. "I wanted to be happy and eat what I wanted." Her go-to pregnancy treat? Macaroni and cheese, which she hasn't had since signing a multimillion-dollar deal with Weight Watchers. Jessica's ads for the company (and her post-baby body) will be unveiled next week. "I didn't realize it [the weight] didn't all come off with the baby," says Simpson, who gave birth on May 1. "I'm not a supermodel. My body is not bouncing back like a supermodel. I'm just your everyday woman who is trying to feel good and be healthy for her daughter, her fiancé and herself." (People)
