She said to People, “Even on American Idol I was really thin, but I was bigger than the other girls on the show, so people would say things to me. But luckily I am super confident, so I've never had a problem with shutting people down and saying, 'Yeah, you know, that's just what I'm rocking. It's fine.' ” In the face of criticism, she tends to swipe if off her shoulder. That's why we love her and we are all in for her type of sassiness.

"I don't obsess about my weight, which is probably one of the reasons why other people have such a problem with it," Kelly joked.

"There are just some people who are born skinny and with a great metabolism–that is not me. I wish I had a better metabolism. But someone else probably wishes they could walk into a room and make friends with everyone like I can. You always want what someone else has."

It wasn't an easy route for the American Idol winner of 2002, "When I was really skinny, I wanted to kill myself, I was miserable, like inside and out, for four years of my life. But no one cared, because aesthetically you make sense."

On her recent weight loss, Kelly Clarkson credited the success to her 'glam squad' and she joked, "I literally hired Harry Potter and SPANX, it's all like a sausage," Spanx is an innerwear brand in the United States where people wear it to appear skinnier and she was insinuating that it was magical that she dropped so much weight.
