Milla Jovovich’s new action-horror flick Resident Evil: Extinction, took in an impressive $24 million during it’s opening weekend, but that’s not the only big number the pregnant actress-singer-clothing designer is talking about these days. “I am so huge you guys!” she wrote on her website September 15. “I’ve gained almost 70 pounds in the last 4 months!”

The former model, 31, who is expecting a daughter in November with fiancé, director Paul W. S. Anderson, 42, currently tips the scale at 193 pounds. “It’s a lot of weight to put on quickly and I only have myself to blame,” she recently said in an interview.

For breakfast, she was eating three bagels smeared with butter, peanut butter, and jelly; for lunch, a box of Krispy Kreme donuts. Naturally, her doctor was concerned by her weight gain (it is recommended that most women put on 25 to 35 pounds), so Jovovich has cut back on the carbs. “I’m doing chicken and veggies and trying to be the healthiest mother,” she explained.

Still, the extra weight is taking a toll on the formerly agile star. “Honey, my bones seem soft now and my feet are killing me,” she said, adding that her feet have grown three shoe sizes. “I can barely wear flip-flops. And now I have a whole new appreciation for my old body.”
