In a recent interview with Self, Teyana Taylor shared some shocking news about her body.

For years, fans of the singer/actress/model have obsessed over her body, which many have deemed "perfect." However, Taylor revealed that she doesn't like when people do this because they have no idea about body struggles she's dealt with. In her sit-down, she said that she's had weight gain difficulty ever since she can remember.

"My diet sucks," she told the publication. "I eat pizza, fried chicken, macaroni; I don’t eat vegetables. But I dance!" 

Taylor continued: "It's crazy because everybody says 'OMG I want your body, how do you stay so small? [But] like the same ways people try to lose weight, there are people trying to gain weight. My whole life, I've always had issues gaining weight."

The star also admitted that stress makes her lose weight quickly. She even spoke a bit about some insecurities she has, now that she's a new mommy. "My favorite part [of my body] used to be my breasts, but now my breasts belong to Junie," Taylor said. "She probably sucked out every ounce of milk... I had to pump, because she didn't want to work for the milk...so now I just deal with little mommy insecurities. Whenever I look super busty, ladies, that ain't nothing but a little double-sided tape [and a] push-up bra. We all have flaws... you gotta embrace it."
