Stay calm, in the long run I will accept the inevitable defeat, but in the meantime, I face it and enjoy the contrasts that curvilinear bodies well combined with other virtues ( and without prejudice).”

Yazmin detailed her diet to Closer. “For breakfast, I’ll have a protein shake, usually a cookies and cream flavor. I love it with a dollop of peanut better,” she said. “For lunch, I’ll have something Turkish, like chicken with either bulgur rice or plain rice and salad. For dinner, I’ll make a chicken stir fry or fajitas, or a Bolognese."

2. She Works Out

Yazmin also exercises a lot. “If I feel like I want to exercise I’ll go every day for a week, but then a week later I won’t go for a fortnight,” she told New UK. “My break-up [with James Lock] has done me wonders, because that’s what’s got me back into the gym. When I was with James I was comfort eating and putting on weight, but now I’m single I want to get that revenge body.” What is her workout? “A warm-up run for 10-15 minutes, then I’ll do squats and planks to rm my bum and abs.”

“I love sweets,” Yazmin confessed to Closer. “I’ve got a whole sweet cupboard in my house!” She added to New UK that depends on her mood. “Sometimes I want to be really healthy or vegetarian,” she said. “I’m dairy and gluten intolerant, but I still eat them. I’ll get bloated, but it doesn’t happen all the time.”

4. She Struggles with Self-Confidence

Does Yazmin struggle with self-confidence? “Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. Like all women, if I’ve been going to the gym for a week then I start to feel good in myself. But if I have a couple of weeks off and start binge eating, then I don’t feel as condent,” she told New UK. She added that she “110 per cent” feels pressure. “You are so pressured in this world to look a certain way. As much as people might say opinions of others on social media don’t matter, they do. If I got thousands of bad comments, it would make me feel really shit about myself. But I’ve definitely got a thicker skin as I’ve got older. Now I can laugh, but personal comments about my appearance would still really upset me,” she said.

5. She Forces Herself to Sweat

Yazmin psyches herself up to workout. “Your fitness is 100% mental. When I was told I may not be able to use my arm fully again so I asked if I could start swimming. I was told you can try but you won’t be able to for a good while. I told myself don’t listen Yaz. Your going swimming tomorrow. And I did. I swam five lengths and I cried and called my mum. This has taught me that anything you want to achieve in life. No matter what it is. No matter how many times others tell you that you can’t. You CAN. Don’t listen to anyone other than your own mind. If you want something you CAN achieve it. & guess what I now swim 60 lengths most days,” she said in an Instagram post.

In it, Serhant says that the process helped her and her husband work out their issues. “We bonded more than ever before. I finally stopped expecting him to be a superhero with the ability to read my mind and started to understand him more. I respected him for stepping up and really being there. In many ways, I'm grateful we got the time to rebuild our relationship with an even stronger foundation, before we welcomed our daughter.”

1. She Has This Message for Women

"Today is #InternationalWomensDay, a day where we as women are celebrated," she captioned one clip. "We celebrate the power that being a woman comes with. The strength, the perseverance. We are reminded to be proud of our sexuality, to be proud of our bodies, and to challenge ourselves every day to love ourselves more and more."

"Some days confidence comes easier, sometimes it’s a challenge," she added, "but if we all make a commitment to lift each other up, it will come more often."

2. She Now Loves Herself

"I struggled with an eating disorder when I was 14 and I'm so lucky that I came out of the other side of it," she said. "I learned so many amazing things from it that I honestly wouldn't take back." "I've never loved myself as much as I do now, which is so important. I think it's the most important quality any woman can have," she continued. "It's just self-love, self-respect, self-confidence and body positivity."

3. Her Mom is a Big Inspiration

Of mom Lisa Rinna, Hamlin says: "She taught me how to love myself, how to unapologetically be myself, how to make fun of myself, and self-deprecate myself in amazing ways that actually ended up helping me with my confidence, and not take myself too seriously," she explained. "I think that's a really big key to life."

4. She’s Into Yoga Gear

Hamlin has sported the Alo clothing, a yoga brand. “Practicing slow, controlled breathing stimulates the body's vagus nerve, which takes information about the current state of relaxation and relays it to the rest of the body, including the brain. One area affected when the vagal nerve is stimulated is the parasympathic nervous system, which controls the body's rest and digestion functions. The mindful breathing practiced in yoga increases the activity of the parasympathic nervous system. As a result, yoga lowers the heart rate, improves digestion and quality of sleep, and strengthens the immune system. Another benefit is an improved stress level,” says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Hits the Gym

Hamlin is frequently photographed leaving a gym. “The Department of Health and Human Services recommends that healthy adults include aerobic activity and strength training in their fitness plans, specifically,” says the Mayo Clinic:

• At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or an equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous aerobic activity
• Strength training exercises of all the major muscle groups at least twice a week.”
