No easy feat: Carrie Underwood’s struggle with weight loss

Singer has been working on her physique since son’s birth.

LOS ANGELES: After she was labelled fat and slammed by internet trolls when she was on American Idol in 2004, singer Carrie Underwood says she has become extremely conscious about her weight and has been working hard on her figure after giving birth. The 33-year-old has a 14-month-old son, Isaiah, with her husband and ice hockey star Mike Fisher.

“Back when I was on American Idol, I was a bit heavier than I am now. That was the first time I was exposed to the public talking about me, so it was impossible not to look online and see what they were saying,” said Underwood. “Apparently I was fat. Of course I wasn’t, but sometimes words people choose are not the nicest.”

While she is aware that parts of her body will never be the same again after having Isaiah, the I Told You So hit-maker revealed she is close to developing abs. “There are things that are never going to go back - let’s face it. I am starting over with a new set of rules,” added Underwood. “But that said, at this point in my life, I have more of a shot at having abs. I feel like I have been working 10 years to have abs, so I am on the verge of real, you-can-count-them ones. Maybe.”
