It forced that star to seek a quick fix and she openly turned to fat jabs to drop the pounds.
Now, the star has flaunted her new figure in a skintight blue dress.
Katie looked more glam than ever in the gorgeous snap as she opened up on how she was finally feeling better and healthier than ever before.
Taking to Instagram to discuss her weight journey, she said in a lengthy post: "What this moment represents is something so much deeper.
"Through the hardest seasons of my life, I've come out the other side wiser, stronger, and more resilient than ever.
"For the first time in my self-love journey, I've turned my attention to my physical health - not for approval, but for me.
"Today, I am officially healthy. My DEXA scan says I'm free from dangerous visceral fat, strong in both muscle and bone, and thriving instead of just surviving."
She then detailed how exactly she dropped the weight and transformed her look with training and fat jabs.
Katie wrote: "Transparency is my thing so…Weight loss jabs - but we want fat to go not muscle sooooo use @glo_up_1 for the symptoms and the huge protein dose so the body goes after FAT not MUSCLE.

She then detailed how walking, eating the right foods and watching her protein were all super important on her journey.
The auburn-haired star, 37, found fame on Married At First Sight 's most recent series, where fans were quick to call out her groom Tim Gromie's cruel conduct.

Candice Warner reveals the very surprising job she would have now if she never became an Ironwoman - and how she will really react if her kids don't become athletes
Candice Warner has revealed the very surprising job she would have pursued if she had never became a professional athlete at age 14. The retired Ironwoman, 40, began competing in the series as a teenager and soon became state champion, but left it behind 13 years ago for the glitz and glam of media. Now, in an exclusive chat with Daily Mail Australia, the mother-of-three has confessed she would have become a vet 'in another life'. 'I love the life we've built,' she said, referencing her cricketer husband David Warner and their three daughters Ivy Mae, 10, Indi Rae, nine, and Isla Rose, six. 'Do I wish we could live a quieter life where not everyone knew everything about us? Of course. But aside from that there isn't much I'd change.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'In another life, if competitive sport wasn't for me, I think I would have been a vet,' she admitted. 'But all in all, I think our life would look pretty similar to what it does now—lots of family time, staying active and enjoying friends' company.' Candice, who has teamed up with Voltaren as the brand's official ambassador for the 2025 City2Surf, went on to say it was 'tough' for her to imagine 'doing anything that didn't involve sport'. 'Even if it's being the kids' sports team manager cutting the oranges—I'm passionate about it!' she said. But what would the sports-lover do if her daughters took a different route? Candice and David, 38, welcomed their eldest child in September 2014, a year before they tied the knot at the Terrara House Estate on the NSW South Coast. They then announced the birth of Indi in January 2016 and Isla in June 2019. So far, their girls have taken to the world of sports, with the eldest two enjoying tennis, swimming, gymnastics and dancing in recent years. Candice has previously said they also enjoy cricket just like their retired sportsman dad, who was once captain of the Big Bash League team Sydney Thunder. However, the media personality said she is well aware of how 'tough and unpredictable' the life of a professional athlete can be. 'Whether they dream of being an athlete or taking a different path, David and I will support them in whatever choice they make,' she said. 'Making sure my kids live happy and healthy lives is all I care about. What that looks like for them. I don't know—they are still young! 'David and I are very conscious of letting our girls try an array of different sports and hobbies so that they get a taste of it all. 'If professional sport is what they want to pursue, I'd like to hope I'm one of those cool, calm and collected sideline mums, but deep down I will be cheering nonstop for them. 'And if they decide that sport isn't for them, that's totally okay too. 'I know how tough and unpredictable that world can be—so if they want something totally different, we'll be just as proud. It's their happiness that matters most.' Whatever the future holds, one thing is for certain, Candice won't be turning her back on the world of pro athleticism any time soon. Despite being a retired athlete, the former SAS Australia star has become involved in the popular Sydney road running event City2Surf. The annual 'fun run' covers a 14-kilometre course open for competitive runners and community participants alike. This year, Candice has teamed up with Voltaren to serve as the official ambassador for the 2025 City2Surf charity fun run, which takes place on Sunday, August 10.
