Dion regrets weight loss

Celine Dion says she regrets shedding the weight she put on during her pregnancy.

She says she felt warm and comfortable with the extra 40lbs.

And the singer says she hardly leaves the house during the day so she can spend more time with her son.

She told German magazine Bella she gained 40 pounds during her pregnancy.

"I was really fat, and I thought it was great.

"My body felt so warm and soft and comfortable.

"I was really disappointed when it was all gone again."

The singer also spoke of the lengths she goes to spend as much time as possible with her son Rene-Charles.

"I hardly leave the house any more during the day, not even for shopping," she told the magazine.

"It is that important to me to be with my child.

"Everything is exciting: the first steps, first words, everything."
