She added, “It sounds cliché but people say when you really do find happiness, you’ll attract that person into your life. I’ve been happy for about a year and a half now, so I’ve been like, ‘I’m ready. I love my body, I’d like to use it!'”

My Big Fat Fabulous Life returns for season 2 tonight, Sept. 9, at 9 p.m. on TLC!
