Beyonce – “Be happy with the beautiful thing that makes you unique".

"I gained 57 pounds when I was pregnant. I did not have a lot of time to lose the weight because I scheduled a show three months after I gave birth, which I would never do again. I am not a person who is naturally slim; I am a person who has to work to keep my body in shape. For me, dancing is what keeps me active and I would just say everyone is not meant to be the same. Be healthy and be happy and take care of yourself. Be happy with the beautiful thing that makes you unique".

This she said as she covers Shape Magazine, April 2013 edition.
