The reality star previously detailed her battle with food addiction after being criticised for losing the weight via surgery.
She penned: 'I know some people see #bariatricsurgery as cheating… but it's not an easy road, and one that was difficult for me to decide to walk down.
'I want to share my experience on here because #foodaddiction is real and, whether people choose bariatrics or not, the way this addiction is viewed by society as a whole is as though it's 'just an excuse to be greedy'.
She added: 'I have to remind myself daily because I subconsciously compare the chosen snapshot of life on people's social media to my whole life warts and all'

The star said in a candid new interview that she 'wouldn't have wanted to get married if she was still bigger'.

She explained: 'I feel like nothing would fit properly until those two things are done and that would get me down. I don't know whether I would have wanted to get married if I was still bigger. But I am excited because I feel confident as I am now.
'I know I won't want a big meringue style dress and will probably go for something quite simple, but I'm not deciding anything for certain yet.'
