Megan has struggled with unhealthy habits, but tries to stick to a healthy diet. “I’ve been really struggling with my body. I got this lean back in Feb/March and not in a healthy way. Now I’ve gained weight by eating a normal amount of cals (1200/1300) and I’m obsessing about it! The praise was super nice but also the pressure to maintain that is a lot. I was living on 800/1000 cals a day and working out, it wasn’t sustainable,” she confessed on her Instagram Stories.
2. She Does Yoga, Pilates, and Spins

Megan opened up to Grazia about her health, and how exercise was a game changer. "I was on a mission to put myself first – mentally and physically," she said. "Although I knew I wasn’t overweight, I wasn’t taking care of my body. So I started practising yoga and Pilates, I got myself a spin bike.”
3. She Lifts Weights

Another game-changer for Megan’s health? She revealed to Grazia that she “even started lifting weights." Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
4. She Is in Therapy

Megan told Grazia that she also "restarted therapy" which also helped improve her mental health and helped love herself from the inside out.

Megan has also vowed to stop going under the knife. “In fact, I’ve learned that surgery is no substitute for working on your mental health or self-esteem. I’m really content and happy with myself right now, so I’m not looking to have anything else done,” she told Grazia. "Most importantly, I want girls to know that no amount of cosmetic surgery will make you love yourself. It’s taken me years of therapy and life experience to start that journey."
6. She Loves the Way Exercise Makes Her Feel
“I love the feeling after a workout so remembering that helps me power through,” Megan told Pretty Little Thing, adding that she aims to hit the gym “three times a week minimum!”
