In the May issue of InStyle, Carrie Underwood said, “I’m content with 90 percent of me.”
Normally, that wouldn’t be a problem but since the country singer also admitted in recent interviews that she dropped 20 pounds, it’s no wonder people are concerned with her eating habits.
The Hollywood weight spell was cast on Carrie when she won American Idol in 2005. With a trainer to assist her, she dropped three dress sizes, going from a size 8 to a 2.
Idol insider tells OK,
She came to the show not knowing what Manolo Blahniks were. She won, and it became about what designer she was wearing, how her hair looked and that she was an ‘average-sized girl.’ She hated the mean things people said about her weight, and when she stressed she nibbled on cookies and chips.
Carrie confessed to InStyle that she’s an emotional eater,
Ice cream is my friend. If anybody sees me eating a sundae and I look unhappy, something bad has happened. I am drowning my sorrows in fudge and caramel and whipped cream.
I put pressure on myself to look good because I’d look at message boards and people would be like ‘Carrie’s fat.’
I think about what I look like probably more than I should. Some days I step out of the shower, put on my lotion and I’l be like, ‘Ugh, ew, ew.’ I count calories, fat and fiber. If I put on five pounds, it’s noticed immediately.”
