The past few years haven't been easy for Wynonna Judd, to say the very least. In 2007, she weathered what for most would be an unthinkable scandal--the arrest of her husband, with subsequent conviction, for sexual battery of a minor. The demise of her marriage followed shortly after.
Most women would take years, if not the rest of their lives, to get over such a betrayal. But hey, that's just simply not the Wynonna we all know. The unstoppable country legend showed up with her mom, Naomi, on the Oprah Winfrey Show Tuesday--not only with her head held high, but a triumphant 60 pounds lighter.
Showing off her newly trim frame in a sleek black pantsuit, Wynonna explained to Oprah that she managed to lose the weight by using "meditative walking" as a coping mechanism.
"I just started walking in the wilderness, and screaming at God, 'why?'" She explained. "And I just kept walking--next thing I know, I like to walk."
The simple exercise paid off. "I don't look in the mirror now and say 'you suck,'" she told Oprah. "Let's just put it this way--I'm on fire. From head to toe," she quipped, referencing her trademark red hair.
Wynonna's slimmer figure isn't the only exciting new thing in her life. When asked by Oprah if she's dating anyone, the star answered emphatically, "yeah!" Smiling broadly at the resulting cheers from the audience, she noted, "I'm not going to say any more about it. Let's just say I have a pep in my step."
