Don't be so hard on yourself

There are very few women who go through life and never put on weight, we don't all have willpower made of steel and there are always going to be some days when a chocolate brownie is the only thing that will help you make it through. When Beyoncé started growing into her curves she fought back at the pressure on women to be stick thin and ended up silencing her critics with the hit single Bootylicious. "I wrote that because, at the time, I'd gained some weight and the pressure that people put you under, the pressure to be thin, is unbelievable. I was just 18 and you shouldn't be thinking about that. You should be thinking about building up your character and having fun and the song was just telling everyone just forget what people are saying, you're bootylicious. That's all. It's a celebration of curves and a celebration of women's bodies." So the next time you fall off the diet wagon, don't beat yourself up about it, stick on your favourite dance track and shake your arse Beyoncé-style!
