Being incredibly busy and a junk food junkie isn’t good for your health and Selena Gomez says she found that out the hard way.

The “Who Says” singer ended up in the hospital last week, discovering she was “malnourished” and “exhausted” and Gomez says that’s partly to blame on her sweet-tooth cravings.

The 18 year-old spoke to Kidd Kraddick’s Texas radio show and explained:

“I do eat. The problem is I don’t eat right. I love everything that’s possibly not good for me,” she said.

Her mom has now stepped in to set her straight and make sure she’s taking care of herself.

“She’s definitely shoving vitamins down my mouth and following me around,” Gomez says of her mom, Mandy Teefey.

“But at the same time, I was a stubborn kid, so I got to eat whatever I wanted. I have to have creamed spinach or cheese on my broccoli. I have to have something that makes it not healthy.”

What’s her downfall? Like so many other people, it’s candy!

“I love M&Ms, Kit Kats, Snickers and Goobers at the movies,” she admits.

With her mom’s help (and the hospital visit probably scared her as well,) Gomez is recovering nicely.

“I’m good now, thank you,” she says. “I’m so much better.”

Selena will host the MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday, June 19th.
