“She was tired of squeezing into wardrobe outfits that didn’t fit her the way she wanted them to,” the source revealed.

Last week, Clarkson took to Twitter to blast reports that she lost the weight using unconventional diet methods.

“Other fake news that’s going around about me is that I’ve been taking weird pills for weight loss, or doing weird fad diets. All of this is not true. I ain’t got time for all that. I eat the same stuff I always have. It’s all just made w/different flours/sugars/ingredients,” Clarkson wrote, adding the hashtag #DrGrundy.
