“Mariah Carey says she’s feeling better than she’s ever felt. The singer appeared on yesterday’s “Oprah Winfrey Show” to talk about her weight issues and her new album. When it comes to her size, Mariah admits that she has slimmed down to the same pants size she wore in high school. But she says it’s not about numbers, it’s about, quote, “feeling good and being comfortable in your own skin.” Mariah credits her fitness and nutrition coach, Patricia, for helping her get into shape. As for the new album, Mariah has songs that deal with her former marriage to Tommy Mottola and the death of her father. Mariah says, quote, “I almost feel like it’s my job to write these kinds of songs for everybody who will go through it.” Her new CD, “E=MC2,” hits stores today.”
