OHMYGOSSIP — Maura Higgins’ “obsession” with exercising led to her losing a dangerous amount of weight.
The former ‘Love Island’ star has revealed she didn’t have a period for four months amid her weight-loss drive, but she’s now determined to live a more balanced lifestyle.
Maura told MailOnline: “I’m not working out as much as I was, I ended up losing too much weight.
“I’m not doing it as much, once, twice a week max, and to be honest I’m just really good with my diet at the moment. It’s all about balance.
“At the weekends I eat what I want and during the week I obviously try my best to eat healthier foods. But with the exercise, it’s very easy to get obsessed with it.
“It got to a stage where it was actually affecting my periods; I lost my period for four months. Especially at my age, it’s obviously not good. I want to have kids someday so I know that’s just not a good thing to happen.”
Maura – who is dating her former ‘Love Island’ co-star Chris Taylor – revealed that her boyfriend eventually decided to take control of the situation.
The brunette beauty shared: “I remember even Chris was saying to me, ‘Maura, that’s just not good, we need to sort this out’ – I was like, ‘Yeah, I know.’
“When you have good people around you, mammy as well, she noticed, she said “you’ve got too thin” or whatever and I was like “yeah, yeah, yeah I know, I’m trying to sort it out.'”
Maura thinks it’s important that her friends and family are honest with her about her lifestyle choices.
She said: “I eased off the exercise and upped my calories and stuff. It’s good to have people around you that are not afraid to say these things to you. It’s so important. I’m feeling so much better.”
