Lauren Conrad is in Shape

Lauren Conrad is on the latest cover of Shape magazine. She talks about life after "The Hills" and how she leads a healthier lifestyle.

Something many people don't know about Conrad is that her confidence was at a low point when she was deciding to leave "The Hills."

"I felt bad about myself because certain people were relentlessly attacking me and my reputation," she told Shape, admitting that she had reached a "breaking point."

With the help of her mother and a close friend, she was able to find inner confidence that allowed her to move forward, and ultimately make her decision to leave "The Hills" and easy one, she said.

Her mother kept telling her to "let it go," and her friend asked, "How does it really affect you at the end of the day?"

"I couldn't come up with a good answer and realized I had to stop worrying about what other people think," she said.

Her life couldn't be going better; she is a best-selling author, working on a second book and a fashion line for Kohl's. She is also in a relationship with Kyle Howard and trying to lead a healthier lifestyle with his help—he did after all give her a "boyfriend layer," She was getting soft around the middle, she said.

"We were having more romantic dinner outs, and I was exercising less," Conrad shared.

To make exercising more fun, the couple lead an active lifestyle, doing things together like "tennis, bike riding, kayaking, stand-up surfing, hiking in the canyons around L.A.," she said.

She also said she tricked herself out of "craving pizza and burgers" by "eating really fresh, healthy foods."

Looks like LC has everything under control.
