She lost 80 pounds after she quit fad diets for good.
“Congratulations! You’re officially a pizza VIP!” I stood in the doorway, confused. First, why was the pizza delivery man congratulating me? And second, what was a pizza VIP? At 19 years old, I’d lived in California for two years and seen some strange things, but this was a new one. Then he explained it: “You’ve ordered over 100 pizzas in one year!” I did the math: That was almost one pizza every three days. I’d also gained 80 pounds in one year.I wasn’t always this way.
By the time I hit 26 years old, I realized I needed to get my head out of the LA game and spend more time in my happy place: riding horses professionally. I got so absorbed that I spent hours and hours riding, often forgetting to eat or grabbing just a small snack on the run. My weight went down, but again, it wasn’t necessarily healthy.
I was determined to find that woman—the person I really was—again, and for the first time I was willing to do whatever it took. In that moment I made a commitment to myself to not just lose the extra weight, but to focus on getting truly healthy, mentally and physically. The second step was figuring out what good nutrition actually was. There’s so much information out there about what to eat and what not to eat that I decided I was going to have to experiment on myself. I read the research and tried different healthy foods until I figured out a way to eat that made my body feel its best. I lost over 50 pounds in the next six months! I finally got back to a body I felt comfortable in and this time I was healthy.
I’ve had a lot of people tell me that losing weight and keeping it off is easier for celebrities. And I hear that, I do! Some of the women on the show do take advantage of personal chefs, trainers that come to their home, nannies who watch their kids so they can exercise, and other health luxuries that money can buy—and there’s nothing wrong with that.
