Lily Allen has found her own personal secret to weight loss: Happiness.

After a tumultuous few years, Lily seems to really have come into her own. And her weight reflects that, she says.

"The only reason I have lost weight is because I comfort eat when I'm not very happy," Allen said, "The last two years, even though I had a lot of success with my first record, I was ... getting so drunk. I was on tour with people I didn't know, and I was all around the world working really hard and was really confused and lonely."

But now, Lily says, life "feels good." And that's translated to fewer room service orders of greasy french fries for the singer, whose album It's Not Me, It's You is being released next week.

While it's great that Lily's found her own personal peace, you don't have to wait for life to get easier to start controlling your emotional eating habits.
