Chrissy Teigen shares horrifying stretch marks: 'This is my new body'

American supermodel Chrissy Teigen has admitted that she fully embraces the fact that she has stretch marks. The 32-year-old supermodel, who welcomed her second child with John Legend in May, recently posted a video on her social media accounts revealing the marks.

The Sports Illustrated model showed off her "new body" on Twitter while on vacation in Bali with her family. In a short clip, she zoomed in on her stomach and thighs and said: "I guess these just aren't going to go away. This is my new body.

She later tweeted about how social media forces people to think bodies should look like. She wrote: "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." 

Teigen added: "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!"

The Cravings cookbook author had previously been honest about dealing with postpartum depression, following the birth of her first child, Luna. In the April 2017 issue of Glamour magazine, Teigen wrote a powerful essay about figuring out that she had postpartum depression.

"I also just didn't think it could happen to me. I have a great life. I have all the help I could need: John, my mother (who lives with us), a nanny. But postpartum does not discriminate. I couldn't control it. And that's part of the reason it took me so long to speak up: I felt selfish, icky, and weird saying aloud that I'm struggling. Sometimes I still do," she shared. 

"I'm speaking up now because I want people to know it can happen to anybody and I don't want people who have it to feel embarrassed or to feel alone. I also don't want to pretend like I know everything about postpartum depression, because it can be different for everybody. But one thing I do know is that—for me—just merely being open about it helps," she added.
