Cynthia Bailey is ready to “regain control.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta mom kicked off the new year with an honest message about her health journey and very relatable struggles with self-image. Cynthia posted a January 1 Instagram in which she detailed the factors that led to her weight gain and how she planned to lose the extra pounds in 2025.
“My weight was something I never worried about. As a model for most of my adult life, staying fit came naturally — or at least it felt that way,” she said in a video. “However, turning 50 brought some unexpected changes. Menopause hit hard. My lifestyle became more unpredictable with constant work travel. And, let’s be honest, that happy weight you gain in a new relationship? Well, that didn’t help either. Suddenly, what felt like overnight, I didn’t feel like I looked like myself anymore.”
