How did Olivia Wilde get through her tough divorce? Just like we would -- with a big 'ol bucket of ice cream.

After she separated from her husband of eight years last February, the actress says in a new interview with Town and Country that she turned to food for comfort and "put on a few extra pounds." (If that’s what she looks like after gaining weight, we quit life. Did you see her underwear scene in The Change-Up? Oh wait, no one saw that.)

The actress now admits that she’s back to taking better care of her bangin' body. "I'm trying to be healthier now," Wilde told the mag.

"I got a divorce and self-medicated with food," Wilde previously said in the July issue of Nylon magazine. "But I figure that's better than self-medicating with crack cocaine."

Judging by the pictures that have surfaced on the interwebs, it hasn't taken Wilde long to bounce back into the dating world. The actress has recently been snapped kissing Saturday Night Live funnyman Jason Sudeikis. But Wilde wouldn’t talk about her new romance during the Town and Country interview, only admitting that she is in fact dating someone in the "entertainment world" and that "he's in a much more interesting part of the business than I am."
