Countess Vaughn is looking better than ever after dropping three dress sizes, and she's not shy about sharing how she did it. She tells People that liposuction and portion control are responsible for her slim down.
"I've always been honest about everything," the reality star, 37, says. "I wanted to do a mommy makeover. I had done it after my oldest child. I really needed to just treat myself, and I'm happy about it!" 
The mom of two insists she didn't just rely on surgery to take the weight off. "I watch what I eat, and I'm into snacking now," she says. "I used to just eat maybe once or twice [a day] — reakfast and then dinner, maybe skip lunch. But now I try to snack, have some nuts, have some yogurt." 
She even had to give up her favorite fried chicken. "There are still times that I want it, but I have to watch it," says the Hollywood Divas star. "Instead of getting three pieces, I'll have one piece and walk away."
