14 DAY TRIAL // World-famous country singer Miranda Lambert is now at her thinnest ever, after making a promise to herself that she’d do her best to get healthy and toned in preparation for her 30s. Because, as she puts it, no good deed goes unpunished, her successful weight loss has prompted reports that she has an eating disorder.
By now, Miranda has gotten used to negative media attention, since every other week brings a handful of new tabloid stories, one more crazy than the other. If she’s not pregnant, she’s about to get a divorce, or she’s pregnant and dumped, or, as of late, refusing to eat because she’s so desperate to stay in shape to “save her marriage.”
Most of the times, she can just laugh off these reports because she knows they mean nothing. However, all this talk about how she lost the weight is getting to her, because it makes her look as if she was suddenly another person, one that cared about her image first and her music last, if at all.
“I'm not anorexic,” Lambert tells USA Today in a new interview. “I'm not sure if I'm not pregnant, because I'm supposed to be having an alien child. That's the next headline. I'm happy. You'll have to ask Blake how he feels [about our marriage].”
In the video below, also shot for the aforementioned media outlet, Miranda talks more about her weight loss and how she’s come to believe that there’s no winning with the tabloids if you’re a celebrity. She accepts that there will always be some negativity around a positive thing, but she’d rather people stopped paying so much attention to how thin she is.
As a musician, she wants to be known for her music and not for the numbers on the scales or how hard she worked to get down to them, she says. She’s speaking out to deny anorexia rumors because she has younger fans who just might believe them when they read them in the glossies, and that’s the last thing she wants.
She did the same last November, when, infuriated by a report saying she’d had surgery to lose weight, she took to her blog to issue a denial.
“Though I NEVER care what the tabloids have to say about me… I wanted to address this certain story they are running this week and set the record straight. I DID NOT have surgery to lose weight. That is ridiculous. I lost my weight the healthy and good old fashioned way,” she wrote.
“Watching what I eat and working out with my trainer Bill Crutchfield. As for the assumed number of pounds lost…? I don’t even know! Like I have always said, it’s not about a scale, it’s about how you feel and how your jeans fit. And on November 10th when I turned 30, my skinny jeans were finally baggy! Mission accomplished!” Lambert added.
She’s always been about staying healthy and feeling confident, and it’s a great thing she’s letting her fans know how important this is for her.
