Since her divorce last year, Alexis Bellino has been changing up everything from her hair color to her ear piercings. But now The Real Housewives of Orange County alum is opening up in a raw Instagram post on how the stress affected her both mentally and physically.

How to Watch

"The divorce caused havoc on my body," Alexis wrote on a post of herself posing in the mirror in a bikini. "I dropped 15 lbs overnight at the beginning of it (it’s called the 'divorce diet' lol). Then I instantly gained 25 lbs back the minute I touched food again. So my body has been through a lot over the past 8 months."

Exactly 2 weeks until filming starts....the Divorce caused havoc on my body. I dropped 15 lbs overnight at the beginning of it (itâs called the âdivorce dietâ lol). Then I instantly gained 25 lbs back the minute I touched food again. So my body has been through a lot over the past 8 months. It still isnât where I want it to be yet, but with the love & support of my beau, and @jakebarrena gnarly training sessions, and @gritcycle and @orangetheory and clean eating, Iâm taking control back and in two weeks I am determined to be where I want.
