Mariah Cuts Her Curves

Mariah Carey’s been slimming down her curves and telling everyone how she’s done it.

The singer told journalists at VH1's Save the Music gala in New York: "My secret is bleak diets."

"I still feel like I have a way to go."

"I don't feel like you have to be a size zero. We should all just embrace who we are physically. I'm not supposed to be a stick figure girl. It's just not me."

The 38-year-old – who says she won’t lose all her trademark curves - added: "I have a wonderful trainer whose name is Patricia, she lives in St. Barts, poor girl."

"People say, 'Only you would fly someone from St. Barts to New York to work out'."

"We do water aerobics mostly."
