You'd never know it but Vanessa Hudgens was an addict – a junk food addict.

You'd never know it but Vanessa Hudgens was an addict – a junk food addict.

While millions of Americans struggle with sweet cravings and fatty indulgences every day, the actress managed to kick hers.

Hudgens, who's on the cover of Shape this month, revealed that her addition got so bad that her "fingers were permanently stained orange from Cheetos." She told the magazine that her addiction was at it's worst in 2007, during the filming of High School Musical.

"I used to go to Cold Stone Creamery, get a tub of Butterfinger ice cream and eat it all before bedtime," Hudgens said.
It wasn't until one day while in wardrobe when she couldn't fit into her costume that she realized she had a problem.
"When I finally got it zipped up, my boobs were up to my chin! The director, Kenny Ortega, saw me and said: 'Whoa, mamacita, look at you!' And I was like: 'I don't know where this came from!' But I knew. I lived on Hot Pockets and never touched vegetables; I needed to do something about my diet."
So Hudgens did what anyone struggling with such an addiction does, she kicked the habit, but not without a little physical fitness routine.
"Having someone to go to classes with makes you want to do your best, not just for yourself but for the other person too," she said of her routine, that she shares with her mother and sister. "My mom and I do cardio kickboxing classes together." Along with Pilates, yoga and Spinning.
"Exercise is amazing," Hudgens said, "from the inside out. I feel so alive and have more energy."
