Rihanna told British Vogue that she loves being “thicc” adding that there is a tradeoff of having a booty. “You want to have a” backside, “then you have a gut,” she said. "I'm about to get back into the gym and stuff, and I hope I don't lose my” backside. “or my hips or all of my thighs. I'll lose some but not all. And I think of my” chest “like, 'Imma lose everything, everything goes!'"
3. She Loves Herself No Matter What
RiRi has no time for body shamers, because she loves herself no matter what. “You’ve just got to laugh at yourself, honestly. I mean, I know when I’m having a fat day and when I’ve lost weight. I accept all of the bodies,” she told Vogue. “I’m not built like a Victoria’s Secret girl, and I still feel very beautiful and confident in my lingerie.”
4. She Trains Hard

Ary Nuñez and Harley Pasternak have both trained Rihanna. When training with Pasternak, he had her on his five-factor program “It’s a workout made up of five phases, which starts off with a cardio warm-up for at least five minutes,” he told Fashion. “Rihanna loves to ride on a stationary bike, whereas some people will jog, walk, run stairs. Phase two is an upper-body resistance exercise, such as a back row or a shoulder raise. Phase 3 is a lower body exercise, like a skater lunge or a hamstring curl. Phase 4 is an abdominal movement like a side bend or a trunk twist. Phase 5 is a cardio cool-down for at least five minutes. So she’ll do a continuous circuit, and each day of the week we do different body parts.”
5. She Eats By Her Mood
Rihanna’s nutritionist describes the star as a “moody” eater. “[With previous clients] I would send in a menu on a Sunday or Monday and they would pick for the week, and then I'd be able to shop and prep, but this is nothing like that. We don't know what we're gonna want to eat tomorrow, so why even pick today?” she told Bon Appetit.

In a June 2019 interview with Interview Rihanna explained to Sarah Paulson that her mental health always comes first. “It’s only the last couple years that I started to realize that you need to make time for yourself, because your mental health depends on it,” she said. “If you’re not happy, you’re not going to be happy even doing things that you love doing. It’d feel like a chore. I never want work to feel like a chore. My career is my purpose, and it should never feel like anything other than a happy place.”
