'The funny thing is, I was so happy with my life; the end of chronic pain, building a life with my love, traveling with friends and working on new writing projects - that I had no idea I had gained all this weight until I went to Paris for my first modeling job of the year. Which was in September.'.

'I squeezed into the largest of the items, leaving seams open, waistbands unbuttoned, and prayed that my ability to fake it was still in place,' explained the star. 'I managed to get through the assignments, but suddenly - I felt awful about myself. I had to lose some weight so I could fit into the clothing my job requires of me.'.

It was very hard to get the weight off, she shared. 'And this is where I hit the post menopause bump. Didn’t matter how little I ate, the weight didn’t fluctuate. Alright- time to add weight lifting to the schedule. And the protein. And ditch the desserts,' she noted.
