In April of last year, she opened up about wearing a swimsuit for the first time after embarking on a weight loss journey.
“I have gained and lost 100lbs 3x so I never thought this moment could or would happen,” shewrotealongside a sultry snap on Instagram, adding, “but I’m finally spring breakin' wearin' a BIKINI!!!!!!”
She credited the moment to “hard work,” “determination,” and “self-love” and shared that she had a “good proud cry.”

Simpson later echoed the same emotionwhile speaking with PEOPLE, sharing that the experience reminded her to have self-confidence.
“I never thought of being in a bikini again because I was stretched out as big as the couch,” she told PEOPLE. “So to be able to put on a bikini … I just hadn’t thought that was even a goal until I put it on, and I was like, ‘I think I was afraid of that.’ "
“And for me, as a woman, to be able to look as good as I feel was a major moment,” she added. “You’re proud of yourself and you deserve it … [and you’re] understanding yourself and feeling good on the outside. When those two things click, the sky’s the limit.”
