Country star Carrie Underwood says she used to rely on diet pills to help her stay slim after shooting to fame with talent show "American Idol".
The 32-year-old singer said she had never been completely happy with her figure during her youth and when she started receiving compliments after losing a few pounds, she decided to keep it up, reported E!Online.
"I knew that I weighed more than I had ever weighed before," she said.
"But then as soon as you start making little tweaks, people immediately go, 'You look so great!' Then you start wondering, 'How bad did I look before?' Then it's like, 'Well, I guess I should keep on going.' Then you start eating less," she added.
