Mischa Barton has been out of the spotlight for awhile, especially after her “meltdown” back in 2009.

The former “OC” actress has struggled with weight fluctuation through the years, but now she’s no longer obsessed with counting her calories.

A source told Heat magazine:

“Mischa’s grown tired of doing extreme fasts and cleanses to try and drop weight quickly and then putting it all back on. She’s healthier than ever, following a vegan eating plan – but she’s not calorie counting.

“Mischa’s been through the wringer with her body. Her weight has massively fluctuated over the years, after falling off and on the diet wagon, but now she’s giving herself a break.”

She may not be on a consistent diet, but she’s consistent on how she feels about herself.  Last year she said:

“I’m proud of my body. I eat healthily and sometimes I pig out. But I exercise regularly.

“Everybody has things that they are conscious of. I talk about this with my girlfriends all the time. We work out and we eat healthy and we do what we do. I feel very comfortable. You are what you are as a woman.”
