Zooey Deschanel’s Attitude To Post-Pregnancy Weight Loss Is Surprisingly Refreshing

Zooey Deschanel is fast becoming one of our favourite women in Hollywood.

Not only does she make us laugh our pants off at ‘New Girl’, but she also co-founded the feminist lifestyle website, Hello Giggles, for 'smart, independent and creative females'.

And now she seems happier than EVER as she’s loved-up with fiancé Jacob Pechenik and expecting the couple’s first bubba.

But you won’t catch the 35-year-old actress posing for one of those post-baby bikini photoshoots – because she’s not putting any pressure on herself to shift the weight.

"Haven't we all seen those pictures of a sexy new mom in a bikini after one month? I will not be that person,” she told the June issue of Cosmopolitan.

“I've always gone my own course and never been someone who had the need to be super skinny. I like a healthy look. I don't buy into that skinny-is-better mentality.”

The former ‘Elf’ star added that she maintains a healthy diet and exercise regime – and doesn’t worry about her weight.

“I just eat healthy and work out and don't worry about my weight too much,” she said.

“Actresses aren't models, and most of them never wanted to be.”

Finally, someone actually speaking the truth!

Zooey’s approach to weight is refreshing when you consider the amount of celeb mums that snap back into shape after giving birth.

And it sounds like her pregnancy, which she announced in January 2015, hasn’t jilted her views on body image.

In a previous interview, she revealed that her healthy weight is actually ‘weird’ for Hollywood.

“Some people around me, they’re like 89 pounds,” she told Allure.

“I’m not going to say I’m a big girl. I’m a very small person, but I’m a healthy weight. That might be a little weird for Hollywood.”
