Mariah Carey recently spoke about her body and how she keeps in shape.

"I don’t feel like you have to be a size zero. We should all just embrace who we are physically," the singer was quoted as saying by People magazine.

"I’m not supposed to be a stick figure girl. It’s just not me."

And how does she maintain her hot bod?

"My secret is bleak diets," she said. But that’s not all: "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 workout.‘ "

Just in case you wonder, St Barts has several beautiful gyms, as well as qualified personal trainers. They are used at working with all types of clienteles. I will make sure to comment on St Barts gyms later in my entries. (We have a nice private gym in our St Barts villa, so I am quite interested in this topic).
