Amber Portwood, the star of "Teen Mom OG," currently discussed her new life after getting out of prison during an interview with Cosmopolitan. She also revealed her weight loss journey that has effectively helped her become fit.

Portwood spent 17 months in jail for domestic abuse and drug charges. She told the news magazine that she has been sober and started an epic journey with her fitness program that helped her lost 35lbs.

"What I had to do when I first got out [of jail] was focus on staying sober. But I always wanted to lose weight and get healthy again," the young mother explained.

She added that, the moment she felt good about being sober, she decided to do another good thing for herself. She decided to take an extra step to become healthier.

"That takes so much out of you that you really have to be dedicated and have the energy to do it. I've tried to transform my life into something new since I've been out."

Portwood admitted that she is having a hard time looking at her past. It was certainly a horrible stage of her life but the "Teen Mom" star already dealt with the circumstances of her bad decisions in the past.

"When people say things on Twitter, which doesn't really happen anymore, I just block them and try to move on," she said during the interview.

"I can't handle it. I can't do it. I don't think it's healthy for me to see myself back then in that way, because I've already dealt with it in my own personal life." She added that thinking about her past may just drag her back into depression.

Fans will see a new Amber Portwood in this new season of "Teen Mom OG." The reality star said during the interview that it is not only her physical appearance that has changed after her ordeal with life, but also her mental capacity.

Meanwhile, Portwood told People that, despite their differences, her relationship with Matt Baier is getting stronger than ever. She calls her "the love of her life."

"He doesn't have seven kids but he does have more than what people know because we decided to keep it private. It's nobody's business," Portwood stated of her fiancé.

During the wedding of another "Teen Mom OG" star Catelynn Lowell last month, Portwood showed up with her boyfriend. Many people were amazed by her body transformation. She certainly worked so hard to get slim and healthy.
