Beyonce Knowles buys clothes which are too small for her as a motivation to
lose weight.
The singer-and-actress, who is famed for her curvy figure, admits it takes a
lot of hard work for her to stay in shape so she needs to have a goal.
She said: "I buy something too small and then say, 'I have a reason.' I need
to wear these jeans or this hot dress."
The 27-year-old beauty also says her dream of winning an Oscar drives her on
when she is working out.
Talking about a painting in her gym which features the famous gold statue,
she revealed: "I look at it, and I'm like, 'OK, I have to stay in shape.' "
Although she would like to lose a few pounds, Beyonce - who is married to
hip-hop star Jay-Z - admits she wasn't happy when she shed 15lbs to play
Deena Jones in 'Dreamgirls'.
She added to Self magazine: "I felt very chic, like a model. But it didn't
look natural for me. I didn't feel very sexy or feminine, and I didn't have
much confidence because I didn't feel like myself."
