"Real Housewives Of New York City star Bethenny Frankel has reportedly defended the amount of weight she has lost since giving birth.  The reality star - who welcomed daughter Bryn on May 8 - recently posed in a bathing suit after shedding 29lbs from the 35lbs she gained while pregnant.  Speaking to Access Hollywood, she said: &amp;quot;If I gained 80 lbs and expect to come back, that&amp;#039;s unrealistic. But the truth is I&amp;#039;m healthy before, during and after.&amp;quot; She continued to say that she &amp;quot;probably lost around 25lbs&amp;quot; by the time she left the hospital, and explained that she did not binge eat or diet during the pregnancy. &amp;quot;I ate healthy and I did eat sweets,&amp;quot; she added. &amp;quot;I do love to indulge a little, I ate whatever I wanted, but not like a crazy person.&amp;quot; Frankel - who married husband Jason Hoppy in March - previously said that she maintained her figure through pregnancy by following a vegetarian diet and alternating walks and yoga sessions. Her new series, Bethenny Getting Married, premieres June 10 on Bravo. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
