JoJo: Old label made me Inject myself to get skinny

"Here's something that I agreed to do that ended up messing with me psychologically," JoJo said. "I was under a lot of pressure with a company I was at previously and they wanted me to lose weight fast. So they got me with a nutritionist and had me, like, on all these supplements, and I was injecting myself — this is a common thing 'the girls' do all the way — it makes your body only need certain calories, so I ate 500 calories a day. It was the most unhealthy thing I've ever done."
She gained all the weight back, she said, and she felt horrible that she subscribed to a lifestyle that other people wanted her to live. "I felt like, 'If I don't do this, my album won't come out.' Which it didn't! So it's not like it even worked!" JoJo said.
Thankfully, JoJo's gotten ahold of what she wants out of her life and her career, and she doesn't feel the pressure to follow others. "I listen to other people's opinions. Listening and following are different things. I think listening and showing respect to people you respect . . . it works for me," JoJo said. "What you think about yourself and the decisions you make is what's most important."
i still can't get over the fact she's only 25, it feels like she's been around forever and she was so young when she first came out.
she's so talented, imagine where she would be now had she been with a label that could have fully supported her and let her grow as an artist all these years
terrible. she is so talented too! she could be huge right now if she had a better label at the time to not mess with her like this. ugh Im glad shes in a better place.
