Mary J. Blige talks about how Whitney Houston’s death helped her stop drinking 15 months ago. She told Shape magazine,
“I’m off it completely once more, and now I feel stronger than ever! Whitney Houston’s death really crushed me. I saw someone so incredibly talented just diminish, and I refuse to go out like that.”
Mary also talked about her diet and work out regimen saying,
“When I’m fit, I can conquer the world. I love the way I look and feel right now and am truly comfortable in my own skin. I hate being out of shape! But I don’t exercise just to lose weight. It makes me feel better when I get that run in. I could be in the worst mood, but when I do my cardio I feel much, much better.”
