Christina Aguilera has spoken on how she has become more comfortable with her body over the years.
Christina Aguilera Has Learnt To Love Her Body
The singer rose to fame at the age of 18, with her first breakthrough single, and the pressures over her appearance took their toll. In an interview with Health magazine, she said: “I think we all have our good days and our bad days in how we feel about ourselves. Entering this business, I hated being super skinny. Once I turned 21, I started filling out a little bit, and I was loving my new curves.”
Those periods were some of the most difficult moments in her career. Christina managed to keep herself together in an industry where people are blighted by alcohol and drug-related problems. And looking back, it was the most critical part of her career. She noted: “I would never want to relive my 20s — you’re so in your own head and finding your confidence.”
The star had been through a lot of scrutiny over her weight. This hit a crescendo in 2013, as the singer was pictured with a whole new body as she lost a substantial amount of weight. The new image was due to the backlash she had received a year earlier after putting on a noticeable amount of weight. But with time, she has become comfortable in her own skin.
She added: “I appreciated having a booty. I’ve always said that women are way more interesting to look at than men! I have a hard time looking at the early pictures of myself because I remember feeling so insecure.” And her life has continued to be in a better place. She has been with Matthew Rutler ever since 2012, and by all accounts, things could not be going any better.
They parent two kids together, and Christina has made it her mission to encourage other women to be happy with their image. She continued: “With age, you figure out that life is too short to waste time thinking about what other people think about you. I’ve realized I am making memories for myself and that I shouldn’t worry about what other people think.”
