London, Dec 23 - British singer-actress Lily Allen has given up her quest for the perfect body and is not paranoid about her weight any more.

Allen has long struggled with her body shape and once even told fans she was considering having drastic gastric bypass surgery to lose weight. But the 24-year-old is now able to look in the mirror and smile because she revealed that she has stopped trying in vain to look like other thin celebrities, reported contactmusic.com.

"I'm just over the whole body thing. I honestly don't care any more. I'll never be teeny tiny like Cheryl Cole or Dannii Minogue, but I've stopped comparing myself," said Allen.

"Put me next to the average British woman and I'm fine...I've lost that obsession and paranoia, thank god," she added.
