\u201cThat\u2019s why I wrote [her hit track] Man! I Feel Like a Woman! I was saying: \u2018I\u2019m over strapping my chest down\u2019 … That stopped after my first video.\u201d<\/p>\n
The country singer has previously opened up about her body image struggles, revealing she was battling menopausal symptoms during her Las Vegas residency in 2019.<\/p>\n
She told The Sunday Times magazine: \u201cIn menopause you lose control of your body. So all of a sudden I\u2019m bloating and I\u2019m definitely not in control. I can\u2019t just lose five pounds [2.3kg].<\/p>\n
\u201cI stopped looking at myself in the mirror. I hated my body. I\u2019m, like: \u2018Oh, I cannot stand this changing body.\u2019 But that was so unhealthy. Who cannot look at themselves in the mirror?\u201d<\/p>\n
Twain realised she couldn\u2019t sustain her unhealthy habits so she cut out fats and sugars and upped her exercise regime, which made her feel better. She said: \u201cI was malnourished. To be thinner…<\/p>\n
\u201cI was doing very unhealthy things. And I was working my body more than I was feeding it, to keep up with the strain.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I\u2019m, like, bring on the mirrors, I\u2019m going to look at myself all day long! Menopause has been very good for me because I\u2019ve learned that some things you cannot control.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThat\u2019s why I wrote [her hit track] Man!
