Mariah Carey reveals body secrets
Mariah Carey has lost so much weight – she can fit into her high school jeans.
The Glitter singer – who has shed two stone – reckons she couldn’t be happier now she is the same size she was when she was 16.
She said: “My jean size went down to my 10th grade size. I got tired of people telling me: ‘You need to lose weight.’ That’s what inspired me. For me, it’s not about a number on a scale. It’s not about necessarily even a size. It’s about feeling good and being comfortable in your own skin. Right now, I feel really great. I feel better than I’ve ever felt.”
Curvy Mariah told US chatshow queen Oprah Winfrey how a French diet and fitness guru has helped her lose unwanted pounds. Mariah invited Oprah’s cameras to film her punishing get-fit routine with trainer Patricia as she went through stretches and exercises in a pool. She gave the show access to the kitchen at her luxury New York apartment to see where her healthy meals are prepared.
Mariah also revealed she found it most difficult to give up her favourite meal, macaroni and cheese.
She added: “It broke my heart. That’s the thing that I have difficulty letting go of because that’s comfort food. So basically I’m uncomfortable.”
