In a recent interview with our colleagues, the mother of Familles grandes revealed that she had a turning point when she discovered that she had “gained 20 kilos” . “It’s huge! I ate a lot, I didn’t pay attention and I weighed more than I had ever done in my whole life, even when pregnant , ” she explained. Before continuing: “Calypso was a highly anticipated baby following several missed pregnancies, so I ate a lot to compensate for my stress. And then, I absolutely wanted to realize the pregnancy by having a big belly. And Franck and Margot would have fun going to the grocery store in the evening, in their pajamas, to bring me chocolate bars, just horrible things. And then at night, I would wake up eating. And I don’t nibble on an apple, but rather packets of cakes” . To achieve this, Mélanie Gonzalez stopped all sugar consumption: “ I already stopped eating sugar. Even for the children, I found that I was buying too much junk. So I said, stop, everyone has to be careful too . ”
