News in an [exclusive interview](http://www.eonline.com/news/777846/chrissy-teigen-isn-t-rushing-to-lose-every-bit-of-baby-weight-john-legend-loves-the-new-pieces). “It’s OK! It’s fine.” Teigen praises husband John Legend’s appreciation and support saying, “John actually loves the new pieces!” She understands that post-baby weight might not exactly melt off, so she’s focusing her attention on Luna instead of weight loss. She says, “You just realize you have to give yourself time and understand that you push out a [baby](http://motto.time.com/4394064/chimamanda-ngozi-adichie-baby-girl/), and it took this long to put on the weight, and it’s not going to peel right off, and that’s OK.” She encouraged other new parents, “Enjoy your baby. Don’t go crazy.” Read the rest of Teigen’s interview with E!
