And Finally
Carey uses former video outfits to motivate post-pregnancy slimming
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 14 November 2011
Mariah Carey was motivated to drop her weight after giving birth earlier this year by a desire to fit into some of the most treasured items in her wardrobe, or so she says. The singer told reporters recently: “I felt pressure [to lose weight] from myself… I did fear that I wouldn’t be able to get back into my shoes. I was like, ‘I have walls full of shoes'”.
Outfits from past videos have also provided targets, she adds. Says Carey: “So, I was like, ‘Do I fit into my shorts from the ‘Fantasy’ video? Yes. OK, I’m good’. And I have those things still! Honestly, it’s like, ‘Do I fit into my ‘Heartbreaker’ jeans?’ [My weight] from the ‘Touch My Body is the [ultimate] goal”.
