"I was at the doctor's and I said what do you think, what do I do about his pot belly? He said just watch your diet and take care," Clancey told WFMZ-TV.
"I tried this that and whatever was on TV," she told WNEP-TV. "I exercised and did all sorts of things, and I just kept getting rounder."
Clancey sad she developed blood clots in her legs in November, leading doctors to discover the cause of her weight gain: a giant cyst on one of her ovaries.
"I was so shocked when they told me. The first thing I thought was Sigourney Weaver with the alien. I was so scared," she said.
Doctors removed the 140-pound cyst, as well as 40 pounds of excess skin.
"That thing rolled out and I looked like an empty Easter egg," Clancey said.
She said it was an odd feeling to suddenly lose 180 pounds.
"For four days after that surgery I can't describe it. It felt like something was empty. My body didn't feel right. I was so used to carrying that weight around that I felt totally different," she said.
"I gained 10 pounds since I'm home. Hopefully, I'll get curvy. I'll be one hot babe eventually," Clancey said.
