Emily Simpson Gets Candid About Her "Almost Obsessive" Weight Loss
The RHOC cast member told Shannon Storms Beador that she's having an "internal battle" following her transformation.
Emily Simpson made a major transformation to her look ahead of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, but in a preview for Episode 3 — which is set to air on July 25 — she starts to wonder if she went too far.
The thought crosses Emily's mind as she's readying her wedding anniversary gift for her husband, Shane Simpson: some sexy photos courtesy of a boudoir photoshoot. "I feel like it's more memorializing kind of like this journey I've been on," Emily explains to Shannon Storms Beador about her motivation for the shoot. "I've done this before, when I was heavier, like probably 40 pounds heavier, and I had a lot more confidence.
From there, Emily opens up about how her workout schedule now consumes her life. As she puts it, "I've gotten to the point where it's almost obsessive."

Emily continues, "Like, it's every day. I work out every day, and Shane's like, 'Why don't you take a break? Why don't you have a rest day.' And I don't. I feel like it's a little bit of an internal battle."
She notes that she's "scared about going backwards again."
Emily Simpson discusses the "pressure" of being "fit" in Orange County
In an interview on the episode, Emily details her lifelong battle with her weight.
"I mean, I've never been thin," Emily shares in the video above. "I mean, I did struggle a little bit in high school because I was always taller and I weighed more than other girls."
Plus, she shares, living in a looks-obsessed place doesn't help, either.
"I think there's a lot of pressure being in Orange County. Everyone seems to be healthy and fit and young. It's really like a mind f-ck. It really is."
