Mariah Carey, who frequently describes herself as "eternally 12," told Oprah Winfrey she can now wear her high school wardrobe.
"My jean size went down to my 10th grade size," the 38-year-old revealed Monday.
"I got tired to people telling me, 'You need to lose weight,'" she said. "It inspired me."
"For me, it's not about a number on a scale," she added. "It's not about necessarily even a size. It's about feeling good and being comfortable in your own skin. Right now, I feel really great. I feel better than I've ever felt."
With the help of a diet and nutrition guru, the singer has maintained a very strict diet that limits foods cooked in butter.
Her most coveted indulgence? Mac and cheese.
"It broke my heart... That's the thing that I have difficulty letting go of because that's comfort food," Carey said. "So basically I'm uncomfortable."
Carey – who just celebrated her 18th No. 1 single – has also credited her personal trainer for her new physique.
"I don't know why everyone thinks I lost 30 pounds," she told Allure. "This trainer has actually helped me reshape my arms. That's where I gained most of my weight: upper body. That's just one thing you have to lose weight for."

Did she say how much did they let out her high school jeans before she fit in them?

Not gonna believe it until I see her squeezed into a pair of high waisted Fancy Ass jeans!

She's a lot of dumb. The message here, kids, is you should feel good about yourself. Unless your fat. But if you are not then you will feel great, but you will be uncomfortable and miserable!

Wonder if her high school jeans fit in HER MOUTH.

That's because she had all her fat sucked out to fit in those jeans.

Hmmm, which response to post?

...pulling them over your arms doesn't count Mimi.

...proving she was fluffy even then.

Meh. Neither were gold. Sorry guys, I'm tired today.

This was actually a joke.

I saw this interview and the whole losing weight thing was overkill.

Now all she has to do is lose weight in that big fat ugly head of hers.

Brilliant. My thoughts, exactly. She's about three times the
size she was when she made her debut with "Vision of Love"
and I believe she was about 20 then. Unless she was a porker
as a teen, which I don't believe she was, this is yet another
piece of proof of her absolute and total delusion.

And has anybody seen (her latest? I don't keep track of her
"career") video clip in which she, what else is new, keeps
squirming and undulating in a "sexy" manner, touching herself
continuously while some nerd is obsessed with her?
I caught about a minute of it and all I could think was God,
how incredibly FUGLY that chick is!!!!

We should feel sorry for her, because she's obviously surrounded
by yes people who keep telling her she's the prettiest of them
all, so much that she started believing it.
My plumber's butt crack is more attractive than her face!
