Gwen Stefani admits she is vain and works out regularly to stay super slim - even though she thinks the obession with size 0 is a bad thing. "All my life I had to work hard to stay in shape. I've always struggled with it. I was a little chubby when I was younger, and I didn't want to be that person forever," she told Elle magazine.
"I became a swimmer at school - but only because I wanted to be skinnier! I'm extremely vain, I like wearing cute clothes."
The 37-year-old pop star, who gave birth to her son Kingston last May, says: "I worked out with my trainer throughout my whole pregnancy until about two weeks before. I cried during my last session. I was like, 'I can't breathe, I can't do this anymore. What am I doing?' It was crazy.
"There aren't any tricks, it's simple math, you put this much food in, you burn that much working out. I gave myself three months after Kingston was born, but if I didn't have an album coming out, there's no way I would have gotten back into shape in that time," she says. "I worked out with my trainer five days a week, with weekends off."
Although she succumbs to modern pressures to stay slim, Gwen think the current obsession with size 0 is unfortunate.
She said: "It sucks that that's what is supposed to look good and that's what everyone strives to be. There's more to life than being on a diet. But clearly, I spend time thinking about it, and it's something I've had to deal with in my life."
