In a long post on Almost Home, her husband Alex Fine‘s fitness blog, the singer opened up about her health journey, revealing she had lost 30 pounds eight months after giving birth to daughter Frankie in December 2019.
“I gained a total of 60lbs,” she detailed. “Yes! I thoroughly enjoyed my pregnancy lol. I lost 20lbs within the first couple of weeks which I was told was normal and then another 10 gradually over the next 2-3 weeks.”
But when she was 15 pounds away from her pre-baby weight, Cassie unexpectedly gained weight. “After a few weeks of bloodwork I found out that I had something called postpartum thyroiditis,” she explained.
Wanting to prevent the condition from worsing, she switched to an autoimmune diet, admitting, “the next 3 months following were confusing and depressing to say the least.”
Ultimately, the process became about way more than losing weight. “It was about being happy, feeling good and not developing a disorder I’ve never heard of,” Cassie wrote. And with the help of Alex, a personal trainer, and developing consistent workout and diet habits, the 33-year-old stated, “Today I’m in better shape than I was before the baby. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been in this good of shape.”
