“I mean, I guess our mothers and grandmothers weren’t under the pressure that women of today are after delivering a baby. My dad says that there’s nothing better than a little meat on the bone! He likes my mom a little chubby. So she was never under the pressure to get back to her old weight, and she never did, actually! But it’s different, I have a career, and that’s the only part that’s been a bit stressful because I knew that I’d have to come back here to do ‘The Voice’ two months after I delivered a baby. I didn’t have my four months maternity like every woman on earth has. So I’m not trying to complain, but it’s been a process full of challenges in my life. I’m still a few pounds over! Zumba has been pretty great for me even during pregnancy. I did it almost until the end.”
… says 36 year-old Shakira, who gave birth 3 months ago.
38 year-old Giuliana Rancic stepped in front of the cameras yesterday at the E! 2013 Upfront event held at the Manhattan Center in New York, where she wore a little black dress that showed off her very thin frame.
‘I dress up for the gym. That way, when you look in the mirror you’re like ”Oh, I look cute” not ‘Get me out of here.”
Her boyfriend, Matthew Mosshart, is kind of a vegan:
‘Everyone is like ”Kelly Lost weight because of her vegan boyfriend”. Shut up. It’s because I’m happy. And he is not even vegan.’
On her insecurities:
‘When you change your body, you start to get selfish. You’re like, ”Oh, but that’s still fat and that’s still gross and why can’t I look like that?” To stop myself I have to look at how far I’ve come. I’ve learned how to eat right and look after myself. Also, I don’t weigh myself. If you like what you see in front of the mirror, then what’s the f**king point of getting on a scale?’
‘People said I was [anorexic], but I didn’t have a problem with eating as I ate a ton all the time – I could eat my husband under the table! But I was going through a time when I just wasn’t sleeping – my mind wouldn’t shut off and my heart was breaking. Now I’m secure about my body, although I’m like any other woman and have my moments of self doubt. But it’s nice to have a husband who tells you you’re beautiful all the time. I’ll say to him: “I’ve gained a few pounds” and he’ll say: “Good!”. It just gives you another level of confidence. But being in this business, I’ve noticed that image-wise it’s definitely worse for a woman.’
