“It’s easy to just focus on her physical transformation, but this is really about something bigger,” the insider shared with PEOPLE. “She got to the point where she didn’t feel great. She knew she had to change something, because she wants to be the healthiest mom possible.”

“Her whole focus during the weight loss journey has really how been all about how she can be healthier and how can she treat her body better,” the insider added. “It was never about losing weight. Her weight loss happened because she has cut down drinking and is eating more real food. But she now loves her physical transformation too. She is more confident, dresses differently and she just seems happier overall.”
