How to lose weight quickly Comments Off on I was forced to be toothpick thin, says Christina Aguilera

Washington, October 1 (ANI): Christina Aguilera has revealed that she was forced to be toothpick thin a few years ago and has opened up about the pressures in the music industry.

The 31-year-old, who has been criticized for her curvier figure recently, claims her record company once staged an intervention to get her to lose weight.

"During the promotion of my album Stripped [in 2002], I got tired of being a skinny, white girl," Aguilera says.

"I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl."

"The next time my label saw me, I was heavier, darker and full of piercings!" the five-time Grammy Award winner laughs.

"Let me tell you, that wasn't an easy pill for them to swallow. I had gained about 15 pounds during promotion and during my Stripped tour [with Justin Timberlake, 31].

"They called this serious emergency meeting about how there was a lot of backlash about my weight. Basically, they told me I would effect a lot of people if I gained weight-the production, musical directors."

"[They claimed] people I toured with would also miss out if I gained weight because I would sell no records or tickets for my shows," she adds.

"I was young, so I lost the weight quickly and was toothpick thin during Back to Basics promos and touring."

The singer claims she put her foot down during recording for her new album 'Lotus' and has refused to slim down to promote it.
