Wynonna Judd recently lost 55 pounds, according to People.com. The country singer dropped five dress sizes.

Doctors discovered blood clots, which were complications from surgery to fix her stomach muscles, in Judd’s lungs in March. After being involved in a car crash, Judd said the two traumatic experiences caused her to be “more determined than ever to commit to a healthier lifestyle.”

Judd, 46, underwent brain state conditioning treatment, which helped her to learn to avoid overeating in stressful situations.

“I used food to soothe and reward and I don’t do that anymore,” Judd said.

In addition to the brain state conditioning, Judd stocked her pantry with healthy foods and started taking walks each day around her Leipers Fork, Tenn., estate.

As a result of the weight loss, the country singer has been able to try new things.

“I went to my first club in Vegas and danced on the pole with friends!” Judd told People magazine. “I feel more alive.”
