You know that I’m not Carrie Underwood’s biggest fan, but I ended up liking her in this new Redbook cover interview. Carrie is probably promoting the revival of The Sound of Music (she’s playing Maria, which is madness), and plus, the CMTs were last night and Carrie was co-host. So, what did I like about this interview? I like that Carrie is honest about how much she loves to eat and the steps she takes to control her food intake:
She keeps a food journal: “You know how you feel when you get full? Well, I don’t get full. I can eat a lot. Mike [Fisher, husband] and I were in Italy for 10 days and I put on 8 pounds. So in real life, I have to make sure I’m not eating just to eat.”
She gained weight on American Idol: “It was on the Idol tour [after I won]. I put on a lot of weight [during the show] because we were locked in a room all day with a craft service table. I was bored, so I was just eating. I was never overweight, but I feel better with myself now.”
Trust in her marriage: “If he goes to a bar with his friends, a tabloid is going to report about it. Same goes for me. Trust is what it is. Either you trust someone or you don’t. And I’ve never trusted anyone more than I trust Mike.”
She does her own laundry: “I do not like people touching my underwear. That’s just weird! I travel with a washer and dryer and I like cooking on the bus too.”
I go through phases like that too, usually when I’m PMSing. I’m just eating and eating, not because I’m hungry but just because I don’t realize when I’m full. I’ve noticed it a lot lately – I was always told, when I was a kid, to finish everything on my plate and I still do it now, regardless of whether I actually felt full before I finished everything. Anyway, I like Carrie more for talking about how much she eats. She’s refreshingly honest about it.
