Meghan Trainor has revealed that while she wasn't always body confident, she has learned to love her shape, and says that "every body type is beautiful".
The All About That Bass singer told Touch Weekly magazine: "I think it's good to have someone with a regular average body on the pop charts.
"It's about loving what you got and rocking it."
However, the pop star also said that she struggled in secondary school.
She said: "It was pretty serious. I would sit in class feeling uncomfortable. I regret a lot of those moments and those thoughts that I had in my head. I grew up a chubby girl.
"I wasn't outspoken about it and I didn't approach my parents. I should've known how cute I was, and been a lot happier. Now, with my songs, I just hope I'm reaching out to those young girls who are also sitting there, miserable with their body."
