Washington, May 21: Beyonce Knowles has revealed that she buys clothes which are too small for her as a motivation to shed extra pounds.

In an interview to Self magazine, the singer-and-actress, known for her curvy figure, admitted that it takes a lot of hard work for her to stay in shape so she sets goals for herself. "I buy something too small and then say, `I have a reason.` I need to wear these jeans or this hot dress," Us magazine quoted her as saying. The 27-year-old beauty also revealed that her dream of winning an Oscar also drives her to work out rigorously. To say motivated, Knowles keeps a painting of an Oscar at the gym -- so when she`s on the treadmill, she`s running toward her goal. She added: "I look at it, and I`m like, `OK, I have to stay in shape.` " ANI
