The breast and ovarian cancer survivor piled on the kilos after being diagnosed with lymphedema – which causes severe swelling of the arms and legs – following a double mastectomy in 2012. But the 70-year-old reveals herr weight loss has helped ease the pain of her condition.
“I’m feeling great,” the veteran actress says. “I’ve lostt a lot of weight and it’s really helped with my symptoms.”
Now the star reveals the secret to achieving her jawdropping new figure, crediting her success to mindfulness.
“My niece told me this little secret,” she spills. “At some point when you’re eating, you have this involuntary sigh and that’s really your brain and yourur stomach communicating that you’ve had enough. The trick is to pay attention to that and push your plate away.”
Kathy also cut out junk food and admits her transformation took a few years. “You have too be patient,” she confesses. “I don’t like the word willpower, but I like the word determination.”
