While Kerry Washington may seemingly be back to her pre-baby weight, rest assured, the Scandal stunner did not go to extremes to shed the lbs.

"I'm breastfeeding, so I can't starve myself," the 37-year-old new mom, who welcomed daughter Isabella with husband Nnamdi Asomugha in April, shared during an appearance on BET's 106 & Park, where she turned heads in a fitted black leather dress.

Washington most recently appeared on Allure's November issue, looking absolutely gorgeous for what appeared to be a no-makeup shoot. The actress later clarified that she is wearing a bit of makeup on the cover, telling hosts Bow Wow and Keshia Chante, "I think it's unfair to feel like you have to wake up and be perfect, you wake up and just be the best version of yourself you can be."

As for Washington's secret to shedding the baby weight?

"I've always been a person who really approaches health in a proactive way," she revealed. "I work out, I eat right so those were the things I continued to do once the doctor said I could, but not to be crazy about it."

She added that "it's important for me to be a good mom and be a good actor and be responsible to myself and my family."

The Emmy-nominated actress, who has always been fiercely private when it comes to her personal life, also shared why she keeps her family life out of the public eye.
