Weird Headline of the Day: Hilary Duff Had a Blast Putting on Baby Weight

Believe it or not, Hilary Duff enjoyed piling on the pounds during her pregnancy, even if most freak out as they see their weight go up! The child star, who recently welcomed a baby son with husband Mike Comrie, says that she allowed herself to eat whatever she wanted because the pregnancy acted as a free pass – she couldn’t be scrutinized while with child. Hilary comments that it was actually fun because she didn’t have to watch her eating habits so closely and finally had a chance to take a break from caring about her figure so much:

“My whole life I’ve worked out and exercised and been in the public eye and always kind of watched what I ate. And this was like a free pass and it was a blast.”

Hilary, who has commented in the past that she’s in no rush to take off the extra pounds, is now slowly working on losing the baby weight, but admits that if she gets pregnant for a second time, she’ll “try not to gain as much weight.”
