Kristen Bell revealed that she’s not focused on shedding the baby weight from her recent pregnancy.

“I had to surrender to not worrying about the way I looked, how much I weighed, because that's just part of the journey of having a baby. I am not a woman whose self-worth comes from her dress size," Bell said in an interview with Redbook Magazine.

Bell explained that she will continue working out and living a healthy lifestyle, but if the baby fat from her pregnancy doesn’t melt away, she won’t care.

Bell and her fiancé, Dax Shepard, welcomed their baby girl, named Lincoln, this past spring. Just three months after giving birth, Bell went back to work filming for Veronica Mars, according to US Magazine.

Bell believes that balancing a career along with being a good mother and wife is not only possible but healthy.

The 33-year-old actress does, of course, miss her daughter when she’s at work. In regards to her prolonged absences, Bell said, “I start wondering what she's thinking, like, ‘Where's the girl with the blonde hair and the boobs?’"
