Jessica Simpson: 'I Didn't Realize the Weight Wouldn't All Come Off With the Baby'

Jessica Simpson knows exactly why she gained the weight she did while pregnant with her daughter Maxwell Drew.

"I let myself indulge in everything I wanted because it was the first time I was ever pregnant, and I wanted to enjoy it," Simpson, 32, tells USA Today.

That included eating one of her faves, macaroni and cheese. But Simpson didn't quite understand how the indulgence would affect her post-baby body. "I didn't realize [the weight] wouldn't all come off with the baby," says Simpson.

She's now given up many of those foods, however, while doing Weight Watchers as the company's newest spokeswoman – she appears in the ads next week.

She hasn't revealed her current weight, nor what she weighed at her heaviest, but says she's lost weight each week on the program.

She also works out with personal trainer (and PEOPLE.com blogger) Harley Pasternak four or five times a week, mostly walking now, says Simpson, because, "my boobs are way too big to run at this point."

Numbers aside, the star seems realistic. "My body is not bouncing back like a supermodel," says Simpson. "I'm just your everyday woman who is trying to feel good and be healthy for her daughter, her fiancé and herself."

Simpson, who is engaged to former NFL player Eric Johnson, will reveal her post-baby body on Katie Couric's new show, Katie, on Sept. 10.

Still can't understand why people attacked her for gaining weight during and after pregnancy. Has it really come to that where you can't even be over a size 8 if you're pregnant. This world we live in....

Wait.... She wasn't indulging in everything before she got pregnant?

Or does she mean she just upped the ante?

She is going to reveal her new body on the Katie Couric Show. That's what I heard.

But I really hate it when society attacks pregnant women for gaining weight. WTF? they are PREGNANT, they have cravings. What do you expect? It irks me. Then they expect them to lose all that weight in a week after giving birth? GTFOH! Maybe in the world of Hollywood , but ordinary mothers don't have the same luxury as celebrities; therefore, they have to take care of their baby and possibly return to work. They are not going to mainly focus on getting back into shape right away. Some people just don't get that ****.
