Chrissy Teigen is never shy when it comes to being “real” on social media. Sharing her stretch marks is something she’s done before, talking about how Instagram affects her body confidence and of course sharing makeup-free period skin. It’s refreshing and more than relatable. Now Teigen is back at it again being honest about her body.
The model, TV host and mother of two recently gave birth to her son Miles in May 2018. The mom has been uber honest about her post-baby body and her journey back to fitness. On July 30 she shared videos of herself in a bikini on her social media.
“I guess these aren’t just going to go away. This is my new body,” she said while filming her stretch marks on the side of her stomach.

She then followed up the video with a few tweets about body image and confidence.
“Instagram is crazy,” she wrote. “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.”

Stretch marks are normal, having fat on your stomach is normal and so is having cellulite. It’s so easy to forget all of that if you go down an Instagram hole. Teigen tweeted again that her sharing her “regular ol'” body is an effort to help other people out there who are going through what she is too. She tweeted that she is still insecure about her new bod, but is happy to share it.
“Also I don’t really call this ‘body confidence’ because I’m not quite there yet,” she posted. “I’m still super insecure. I’m just happy that I can make anyone else out there feel better about themselves!”

Teigen recently joked about Instagram fit girls on her social. She posted an obviously edited photo of herself in the gym encouraging her followers that they too can have a big butt and small waist after doing a few squats and drinking tea.

Teigen can take her body journey seriously and still be hilarious. We love that she is so transparent about it.
