Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett lived the party life at the Playboy mansion as one of The Girls Next Door, but now this brand new mom is all about reality, documenting her struggles with motherhood and adjusting to her post-baby body in her new E! Network show, Kendra. Although the extra pounds were unsettling at first, she's getting used to some of her new curves. "I come from the glamorous life and it was a huge culture shock to look in the mirror and see the 'extra-ness' I had going on," Kendra says. "But I actually love it - I'm working with it. My trainer goes, 'Do you want to lose it all?' And I said, 'Absolutely not, I love it!"

Kendra says that her husband, NFL player Hank Baskett, is pulling his weight when it comes to helping with little Hank, Jr. "He definitely takes care of the baby as much as I do," she says. "It's so funny because we just hired a babysitter, and we're like, 'Go run, go enjoy the sun!' because we don't need her - we love taking care of the baby!" A far cry from the 4 a.m. party nights at the mansion, Kendra says she feels right at home changing diapers. "My life happened in exactly the way it should have happened. I was young [then], and I'm still young but now I'm a mom and a wife and that's where my life should be right now. I'm very happy right now."

The beautiful mom and former Playmate reveals that life wasn't always easy for her. "I went through a stage where I was addicted to drugs," she admits, "but fortunately I had an epiphany one day." Watch the video above to hear how Kendra overcame her struggle and the message she has for anyone going through tough times.
