"If I had to go through all of this again, to get here, to this exact moment I'm in right now, with all of you, finally healthy, I would do it all again. It made me who I am today," she noted.

However, Bella herself is no stranger to the topics around her body and has previously addressed the changes, informing people that the changes in her body were often out of her control.
She expressed that she did not really mean to lose weight and would love to have "boobs" and "as-" too, but she has no choice but to let nature take its course.
Bella added that her diet and fitness routine have also played a role in her trim appearance. "I've been eating hard protein every day and working out for three hours every day," she declared.
