Demi Moore Says She Biked 60 Miles Everyday to Lose Weight After Her Second Pregnancy

"I put so much pressure on myself."

Demi Moore is opening up about the "crazy" way she lost weight following the birth of her second child, Scout Willis. In a new interview with CBS Sunday Morning, the actress revealed her daily grueling workout routine and how she put too much pressure on herself bounce back. 

At the time, Moore, who was living in Malibu with her then-husband Bruce Willis, says she biked 30 miles to and from work everyday while filming Indecent Proposal in 1991. “I was feeding [Scout] through the night, getting up in the dark with a trainer … biking all the way to Paramount, even on location where we were shooting; then shooting a full day, which is usually a 12-hour day; and then starting all over again,” she said. "I think [Scout] was, like, five or six months old when we were shooting."

Looking back, Moore admitted that her expectations postpartum weren't exactly realistic. “I put so much pressure on myself,” Moore said. “I did have experiences of being told to lose weight. And all of those, while they may have been embarrassing and humiliating, it’s what I did to myself because of that.”

She added, “Even just the idea of what I did to my body, it’s so crazy, so ridiculous." Moore also noted that while losing her extra weight probably "didn't matter that much," getting back to her pre-baby body was "everything" to her back then.

Similarly, Moore's character, an aging TV star, in her new horror film The Substance will do anything look perfect. In the film, Moore takes a new miracle drug that allows her to birth a "younger, prettier" version of herself, but at a terrible price. 

When asked what she thinks when she looks in the mirror today, Moore candidly replied: "Uhm, it fluctuates." She continued, "Some days I look and I'm like, 'Wow. That's pretty good.' And some days, I catch myself dissecting, hyper-focusing on, you know, things that I don't like. The difference is, now I can catch myself. I can go, 'Yeah, I don't like that loose skin. But, you know, it is what it is. So, I'm gonna make the best of what is, as opposed to chasing what isn't.'"
