The casual look: Jessie dressed down for a day of shopping at Tesco She famously dropped from a size 16 to an 8 and even released her own fitness DVD but Jessie Wallace has now opted for a healthier look once again.
After shedding so much weight she resorted to wearing a fat suit on stage for her role in the musical Stepping Out, the actress has now embraced some new curves once again.
The 38-year-old EastEnders star admitted that exercise had become an obsession for her but as she was spotted doing some shopping in Hertfordshire today she had ditched the super skinny look.
Curves regained: Jessie Wallace seems to have shed her obsessive diet and looks back to a healthier sizeWallace, who plays Kat Moon on the BBC soap, dressed casually in baggy jeans, trainers and a vest top as she was snapped near Elstree Studios.
Her muscular arms showed she’s still hitting the gym but looks as though she’s finally treated herself to a more realistic diet as her once taught abs seem to have disappeared.
At the peak of her slimming obsession she said: ‘I haven’t treated myself at all. I go to the gym three times a week and do half an hour on the running machine.
‘Then I work my arms, my legs, my a***, my tummy, every part of the body, doing weight machines. It has become an obsession, but a good one.’
Gym junkie: Jessie at her thinnest in 2009 and with a fuller figure in 2004She also cut out wheat, dairy and alcohol from her diet and switched to snacking on fruit, vegetables, fish, nuts and seeds.
And her gruelling regime led her to shift a whopping two stone in six weeks, leading her to lose her once ample cleavage that she loved to show off at a size 16.
The 5’2’’ star then released her fat-burning workout Jessie Wallace: Look At Me Now late last year, following in the footsteps of her EastEnders co-star Natalie Cassidy.
But the mother-of-one seems to have put her extreme obsession behind her for now and looked to be a healthy size 10 to 12 again.
