Last month Lauren spoke to Closer magazine and admitted that she doesn't want to get any bigger than her current size 12, she even admitted she's have lipo or a gastric band to get back in shape. Now it's come to light that Joey not understanding her weight battle was a factor in their breakup.

In the past, the 30-year-old opened up her weight struggles and admitted that her then boyfrined "doesn't understand" that it's more difficult for her to lose weight because she's a woman. She's also said that Joey would "have me locked in a room with a treadmill" if he wasn't in prison.

Now, a source has told Closer: "Joey didn't pressure her to lose weight, but he did encourage her in her efforts because he knew she could achieve her body goals again."
