‘I couldn’t look at my body in the mirror’
Leann has sparked concern multiple times with her worryingly thin frame, and carried out a 30-day stint in rehab in 2012 for stress and anxiety, shortly after being pictured looking “emaciated” in her bikini.
Once she left rehab, Leann admitted that looking back at old pictures of herself made her think: “Wow, maybe I was a little too thin.”
Blaming her weight loss on the stress of her and Eddie’s previous marriages, she confessed: “That was just the way my body was handling everything that was happening. Some people stresseat and I do the complete opposite and don’t eat at all.”
But the star now swears by a structured workout regime to maintain her healthy size 8 figure, mixing up classes, and finally laying her body demons to rest.
Leann says: “I like to box, do yoga and Pilates, weight-lift and circuit training. I really didn’t like working out when I was doing it to look a certain way. Now I’m focusing much more on my health and it’s a lot easier. I’m feeling good.”
