Raven-Symone - Body Haters Don't Phase Her
Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Nutrition & Supplements
Raven-Symoné loves her body (she calls it thick and beautiful), and she doesn't care what anyone else says. Well, maybe she cares a little bit. But it doesn't take much to boost her confidence -- all the star needs is a chat with mom, who tells her she's very pretty. It's just what this 23-year-old That's So Raven star needs.Other young girls who need a boost in the body image department are getting some help from Raven-Symoné during a Dove-sponsored self-esteem workshop the singer-actress is hosting for one-hundred 11- and 12-year-old girls. "It's going to be so much fun," she says. "We want to build their self-esteem and give them tools to face the world the next day without us there."
How does this former Cosby little girl face the world? "You just have to learn how to transform the pressures into something that doesn't soak into you on a personal level," she says. "You see it, you breathe past it, you don't let it sink into your self-esteem." Exercise helps too. And screaming doesn't hurt -- "At the end of the day I'll call my best friend and yell and scream and get it out," she says. "And the next morning, it's out of my system."

There's no doubt -- life as an actress can be stressful. And Raven-Symone is the first to admit that. In fact, the actress even goes so far as to say, "I do have anger issues," but she doesn't like to yell at anybody, so she's found another way to get out her frustrations -- boxing.When she's angry at someone, Raven-Symone said, "I picture that person's face that I want to yell at and I hit it repeatedly [with my] mitt."
I've actually done the same thing on a number of occasions -- beating the hell out of a heavy bag somehow makes me feel better. However, running is a great stress reliever as well. What form of exercise helps you clear your head, or puts you in a good mood?
