Demi Moore put "so much pressure" on herself to lose her baby weight after giving birth to her daughter Scout.

The 61-year-old actress has revealed she would cycle 60 miles a day while filming her movie 'Indecent Proposal' which was being made just months after she welcomed her second daughter with then-husband Bruce Willis in 1991 - and Demi admits she pushed herself way too hard in a bid to slim down.

In an interview with 'CBS Sunday Morning', Demi explained: "I was feeding her [Scout] through the night, getting up in the dark with a trainer … biking all the way to Paramount, even on location where we were shooting; then shooting a full day, which is usually a 12-hour day; and then starting all over again,.

"I think [Scout] was, like, five or six months old when we were shooting ... I put so much pressure on myself ... I did have experiences of being told to lose weight. And all of those, while they may have been embarrassing and humiliating, it’s what I did to myself because of that ...

"Even just the idea of what I did to my body, it’s so crazy, so ridiculous."

Demi - who is mum to Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30, with ex-husband Bruce - went on to admit losing her baby weight didn't actually "matter that much" really but at the time it was massively important to her.

She explained: "Yeah. But you look back and you kinda go, 'Did it really matter that much?' Probably not! But at the time, I made it mean everything."

When asked what she thinks when she looks in the mirror now, Demi admitted she has good and bad days. She said: "It fluctuates. Some days I look and I'm like, Wow. That's pretty good.

"And some days, I catch myself dissecting, hyper-focusing on, you know, things that I don't like. The difference is, now I can catch myself. I can go, Yeah, I don't like that loose skin. But, you know, it is what it is. So, I'm gonna make the best of what is, as opposed to chasing what isn't."
