Maria Menounos is certainly a glass-half-full type of person, and her recent health scare might have brought her to her healthiest point yet. <br />The TV host tells Women’s Health magazine, “Would you believe me if I told you that the brain tumor is the best thing that ever happened to me? It freed me from all of that anxiety of having to be perfect.” <br />According to Us Magazine, the Maria underwent brain surgery in June to remove a benign tumor the size of a golf ball. She tells Women’s Health, “Before the brain tumor, I was super type A. I was on top of everything. I was everything to everyone, but nothing to myself. I didn’t know it at the time, but there was no self-compassion, no self-love, I didn’t think I deserved it.” <br />With a new outlook on life, Maria has been able to put life in a much better perspective, and most importantly, looked after herself for a change. <br />
