Miss America Mallory Hagan recently made an appearance on Anderson Live to defend her new curvier physique, and because she admitted that she likes to eat carbs from time to time, she's NOT apologizing for packing on some pounds!!

Beauty really is on the inside!

Bree Boyce, the recently crowned Miss South Carolina, didn't always look like a beauty queen, but after losing 110 pounds she found out she was destined to be one all along!

The 22-year-old was a heavy girl throughout her entire childhood and reached her heaviest at 17-years-old when she weighed 234 pounds.

After receiving advice from the doctor, she decided to try an Atkins-type diet during which she lost 65 pounds and was even able to win her high school's beauty pageant.

Unfortunately, the diet was just that — a diet — and soon after she had gained it all back. With the help of a nutritionist, a little will power, and a lot of exercise she was finally able to lose it FOR GOOD!

Now she's an absolutely stunning young woman (inside and out) and is on her way to compete in the Miss America competition!

Such an inspiration! This beauty queen's story shows that a healthy lifestyle can be the KEY to becoming the person you've always dreamed of being!

Watch the video above to see Bree's incredible results and learn more about how she did it.
