The reality TV star, 42, who is happily engaged to boyfriend Rami Hawash, has been very open with her fans in the past about wanting to lose weight, even using controversial Skinny Jab injections.
Adopting a new refreshing body positive mindset, Gemma revealed in a recent interview with MailOnline that she now focuses on exercising and eating straight out of her sprawling garden to ensure her food is completely organic.

I will not waste my life constantly striving to be thin."
