Chelsea Blackwell, a notable participant from Love Is Blind, recently discussed her ongoing battle with weight in a candid interview with E! News on October 20, 2024. She revealed that she often felt “crappy”about her weight struggles. Reflecting on the results of her recent surgery, she expressed:
“I’m so happy with it. I’m very, very grateful I did it.”
Blackwell starred in the sixth season of the reality series, where she became engaged to Jimmy Presnell after forming a deep connection inside the pods. Unfortunately, the couple chose to part ways during the show and ultimately opted not to continue with their wedding plans.
Post-show, Chelsea has been vocal about her weight loss journey, offering insights and strategies for others striving for transformation.
Chelsea Blackwell Opens Up About Her Abdominoplasty
In her heartfelt discussion with E! News, Chelsea Blackwell emphasized her frankness regarding her lifelong weight challenges, describing her tummy tuck surgery as “a significant leap of faith.”
Having never experienced surgery of this nature before, Blackwell elaborated on her struggles at 30 years old and expressed gratitude for pursuing the procedure. As a flight attendant, she also wants those who share similar feelings to connect with her, reassuring them that they are not alone.
Committed to transparency, Blackwell clarified that her current shape resulted not from “working out and eating healthy,”but rather through her surgical intervention.
“If someone is struggling or in the same mindset I was, I want them to feel a connection with me and know that they’re not alone. I don’t ever want to be like, ‘I got this body by working out and eating healthy.’ No, I went and I got something done. I don’t want to lie to people. I want to be honest and raw,”Blackwell stated.
In addition, Chelsea reported making lifestyle changes that included a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and proteins, while integrating walking into her fitness regime, dubbing it the “main key”to her weight loss.
She intends to delve deeper into her surgery journey and the motivations behind it on her YouTube channel and her podcast, Rugged & Radiant Podcast. Chelsea is enthusiastic about her mental and physical well-being and is eager to share her insights on these topics.
“Taking care of yourself and feeling good about yourself—not only physically but mentally as well—it’s something I’m really passionate about. Mental health is definitely the foundation of everything. Therapy, I’m preaching it!”Chelsea emphasized.
In a July 20, 2024 interview with Business Insider, Blackwell shared three strategies for achieving fitness: longer outdoor walks, staying hydrated, and boosting her protein consumption.
She consistently meets her hydration goals by drinking from three Stanley cups daily. On the topic of her primary exercise—outdoor walking—she noted that her ex-fiancé, Jimmy Presnell, sometimes joins her for these strolls. She mentioned:
“We actually are neighbors. He’s in the building next to me. We used to go on walks together for a while. We still keep in touch. I’ll give him a pulse check.”
Recapping Blackwell and Presnell from Season 6
During season 6 of Love Is Blind, Blackwell and Presnell connected over their shared passion for travel. However, their relationship faced challenges when Presnell confessed to being intimate with another woman he introduced to Blackwell.
Despite believing it to be a past incident, the revelation shocked Blackwell, leading to feelings of insecurity that ultimately resulted in their separation.
It was Presnell who initiated the breakup. Chelsea expressed her dismay and surprise during the reunion episode, stating she felt “really, really blindsided”by the outcome.
All episodes from 1-11 of Love Is Blind season 7 are now available for streaming on Netflix.
