Janet Jackson opens up about weight struggle

Janet Jackson has admitted that she has often struggled with her weight.

Speaking to Us Weekly, the singer however said that she hoped that people could relate to her because of her life-long battle with yo-yo weight. She said:

"[My weight] is something I've dealt with all my life, and it's been an issue for me. People can relate to me because I have lived it."

Jackson, who recently became a spokesperson for diet company Nutrisystem, added:

"I truly understand what it's like to have a problem with weight loss, losing too much weight or gaining more than you desire to and becoming unhealthy. I still have a way to go, and there's not a lot that I want to lose. But I'll know it when I reach it."
