Carrie Underwood's Struggle With Body Image
Carrie Underwood looks absolutely glowy and gorgeous on the cover of the new InStyle, but this singing sensation says she often isn't thrilled with what's staring back at her in the mirror.
"I think about what I look like probably more than I should. But I think everybody is her own worst critic," she tells the mag. "Some days I step out of the shower, put my lotion on, and I'll be like 'Ugh, ew, ew.' "
I so can relate.
Carrie, who recently split from boyfriend Chace Crawford, admits she's been cheated on and says that the reason for her not-so-perfect-spots probably has to do with how she deals with heartache.
"I'm a 'let it go, move on' kind of person. And ice cream is my friend. If anybody sees me eating a sundae and I look unhappy, something bad has happened," the American Idol winner admits. "I am drowning my sorrows in fudge and caramel and whipped cream."
The beauty seems, sadly, super hard on herself. "If I put on five pounds, it's noticed immediately," Carrie says. But, in the same breath she laments, "I'm content with 90 percent of me. I like my teeth. Sometimes I wonder if my orthodontist realizes how important he was."
It bothers me so much when beautiful girls don't see themselves as such.

She's such a beautiful & talented girl. I agree Tracy, it doesn't sound like she appreciates what she's been blessed with. Hopefully she'll learn to love herself more as she gets older.
I agree that she is absolutely beautiful, but I think the fact that she isn't stuck up and doesn't recognize her own beauty is just another example of why she is so beautiful...inside and out it seems!
I wish I was so ugly
She is a talented woman. love her. seems saw her before on a celebrity dating site called Wealthy Kiss.c o m where people are wealthy and they're looking for companionship romance or love.
Carrie- I hope you know that you are truly blessed to be as beautiful as you are and to be embraced for those 'flaws' you think you see! Try not to get down on those guys- there are many more fish out there for you to choose from and I am SURE you can find some good ones out there that the rest of us only DREAM about meeting! Keep fishing!
Please Carrie, take it from a Single/Never Married 45 year old, who has had "Absolutely NO LUCK with Men whatsoever" that don't let "Them" determine your Looks/Happiness or Whatever; the only person you need to determine what's right/best for you - IS YOU!!!!!!
