Skinny VS Curvy

Rihanna, who lost weight recently, told the press that like most women, she has ‘fat days’ occasionally:

“I mean I don’t think anybody really is confident 100 per cent. I mean you get comfortable with the fact that that’s your body and that is what it is – that I had to learn. (Some days) I’m like, ‘OK, whatever, I feel fat today,’ but what can you really do about it? You have to just accept your body. You may not love it all the way, but you just have to be comfortable with it, comfortable with knowing that that’s your body. You just want something else that someone else has, but that doesn’t mean what you have isn’t beautiful, because people always want what you have, and you always want what they have – no one is ever 100 per cent like, ‘Yes, I’m the bomb dot com – from head to toe!’ “

… says Rihanna in an interview on UK TV show ‘Daybreak’.

On her battle with depression because of skin problems when she was 25:
“You want to talk about bad skin? I had acne. And this acne was so bad it sent me into severe, severe depression. Like I couldn’t leave the house.”

On binge eating during her depression:
“The next stage with that sort of depression is food – too little or too much. Guess what I did? I was fat and broken out. I couldn’t leave the house and I couldn’t pay the rent!”

On cosmetic surgery:
“Botox – trust me, I’ve been tempted, but I resist!”

Rihanna, who recently lost weight and told us she loves buttered popcorn has a new quote for you – from her interview with Women’s Fitness Magazine:

‘The more I got naked the more comfortable I felt. I just had to face my fear. You always find something wrong, you always find something you’re uncomfortable with, and one thing turns into another and you get embarrassed and self-conscious about it.

‘After a while, it was like, “What’s the worst that can happen?” and I just started being a little more daring with it. It was just knowing my body is the way it is no matter what that helped me, knowing that it is what it is under clothes or outside of clothes.’ ‘My way probably won’t work for most people.’

… says Rihanna, here pictured in one of her tiniest stage outfits.

On plastic surgery: “I haven’t had it, but never say never. Because when you do, you are definitely going to go there. I said I would never have intercourse before I was married, and I did. I said I would never go to a psychiatrist, and I spent much of my life in psychoanalysis. I’ve done all kinds of things I said I wouldn’t do and, of course, now I’m glad. Thrilled.”

More on bulimia: “With bulimia, I never expected sympathy or for people to understand, What I cared about was the secret I kept. It felt like a burden. I never told my mother. But when I finally told my sisters many years after the fact, they weren’t that shocked. My sister Robin said, ‘Yeah, you ate a lot of hamburgers back then.’ It’s amazing how the dark secrets inside us don’t matter much to the outside world.”

On her favorite food (at the moment):

“My favorite food right now is microwave butter popcorn. And when I’m in London I’m close to authentic Jamaican food, so I tend to eat that every day.”
