She advised moms to do what makes them “feel good” instead of focusing on how they look.

But Palmer also cautioned people against looking to celebrities as role models for how they should approach post-pregnancy weight loss.
“Any time you see a celebrity snap back or something, it’s part of the fucking concert,” Palmer told Avila. “Part of our job is to look good and look good.”
“So don’t think it’s like, ‘We do it because we have it that way.’ No, the job is at stake,” he continued. “If we want the checks to get signed, we have to be what we have to be.”
