I'm not big into the country scene, but ever since I checked out the adorbs pictures of Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton's wedding, I've been a Miranda fan. Seriously, any woman who is down for a bouquet made of vintage brooches on her big day is my sorta gal.

The country superstar is looking fabulous on the cover of Self magazine's June issue. Inside she gets personal and talks about how happy she is to NOT be a size zero.

"I feel my best when I'm a toned, not flabby, size 8," Lambert dishes. "I'm a confident person overall. Though like any other girl, I have insecurities."

A woman who is A-OKAY with being a size 8? So. Refreshing. Yup, it's official: my girl crush is full-blown.

Seriously, when was the last time you heard a Hollywood celeb saying A) that they were a size 8, and B) that they were OK with it? If this doesn't show how totally rad Miranda is, then I don't know what will.

Duly noted: Miranda definitely has the right attitude about staying in shape. The country singer is basing how she feels about the way her body looks by how she feels in it. Sure, maybe a size 8 isn't 100 percent teensy. However, being toned and feeling good is 1,000x more important.

Like any woman, my weight fluctuates all of the time. Like Miranda, I'm all about feeling my best despite what the numbers on the scale say. When I eat well and stay active, I feel more energetic and better about my body. It's times like that when sizes and numbers don't matter. What does matter, though, is feeling content.

What do you think about Miranda Lambert's idea of staying in shape?
