Teresa Giudice Reveals What Really Happened After She Quit Special Forces: World's Toughest Test

"[I] cried that whole night," the Bravolebrity admitted. "I cried going home in the airport. Even when I got home, I was crying."

Teresa even recounted how concerned her husband Luis "Louie" Ruelas was upon her return home stateside.

"My husband was like, ‘What's wrong with you?’" Teresa revealed. "And I was just so upset."

"I wasn't myself until Gia came home," the Skinny Italian author continued. "I really wasn't. Even Luis said, he's like, 'I feel like you've changed.' He's like, 'What happened to you?' I was like, 'Yeah, it took a lot out of me. It really did.'"

Teresa even admitted to briefly regretting her decision to leave the show, adding of the possibility of returning to boot camp, "I would, but then they're not going to take you back."

"I was having second thoughts," she admitted, "but then, like I said, we had discussions and there was a lot of stuff that we talked about. So, I was thinking, my mom instinct, I'm always a mom first, and I always want to try to set good examples for my children. So, that's what always comes in my mind. I'm always a mom first."

As for how Gia handled her mom's untimely exit?

"I explained to her why I left, and she totally got it," Teresa shared, adding, "I'm so grateful for the experience to do this with Gia. It is something that we both will never forget."
