PHOTO: ‘Tanning Mom’ Patricia Krentcil Hasn’t Gone Tanning In Over A Month! 2

Wow, talk about a makeunder!

New Jersey “tanning mom” Patricia Krentcil drew national scorn after it was revealed she was tanorexic. But now, in a new photo shoot for In Touch, she reveals that she’s stayed out of the sun and away from tanning beds for a month!

“Everyone says I look so much better less tan,” she tells the magazine. “I feel weird and pale.”

She adds, “I’ve had moments where I’ve felt like, ‘I need to be tan. And I did all the spray tans and lotions and creams, too — anything to get dark. Once a doctor told me to stop tanning. But I didn’t listen to him. I wanted to be dark. I like looking like I just got back from vacation.”

Patricia says she’s basically done with tanning, but she plans to “squeeze a tan in here or there.”
