Christina Aguilera In Bathing Suit Is 'Feeling' Love

Aguilera has admitted that her weight has bounced around over the years, but she refuses to weigh herself, telling Marie Claire:

"I don't weigh myself — it's all about how I feel in my clothes. What looks good on one person might not look good on another body type. I happen to be very confident in my own skin. It takes time to get to that place, but it's all about embracing yourself and your body."

Not long after turning 40, the "Beautiful" hitmaker opened up to Health, revealing:

"Entering this business, I hated being super skinny. Once I turned 21, I started filling out a little bit, and I was loving my new curves. I appreciated having a booty. I've always said that women are way more interesting to look at than men!" The Mayo Clinic states:

"Body image is how you think or feel about your appearance, your body and how you feel in your own skin. Maintaining a normal and healthy body image during adolescence, a period of major physical and emotional changes, can be difficult."

The body-positive star, who thinks she was too skinny back in her "Stripped" era, also told Health: "Accepting yourself is what beauty is really about. As much as I also love being a glam girl and playing dress-up for the camera, when it all comes off, that's what's ultimately most rewarding—being able to feel really good about who's staring back at you in the mirror, because you're owning all of it."

Aguilera likes to indulge in a soothing bubble bath, and she made sure to mention it, stating: "And I love a beautiful hot bubble bath with all of my ingredients and oils! I really make it like a nourishing soup in there."

In an interview back in 2013 - at the time, Aguilera hadn't yet welcomed her second child - the former rival to Britney Spears said: “If I can squeeze in a workout, great. If not, that’s OK, too.”

The Grammy winner mentioned her son, Max, adding: “Running around with him all day is pretty good exercise.”
