The Singer Says Her Weight Loss Journey Was Never About ‘Being Thin’
Over the past few years, Lizzo has incessantly documented her health journey online, often posting selfies and updates about her progress.
The singer previously revealed that by early 2025, she had shed around 60 kilos, roughly 16 percent of her body fat, describing the method as a “weight release” slightly than traditional weight reduction.
In November 2025, the “About Rattling Time” hitmaker addressed the conversation surrounding her body transformation in an essay shared on Substack.
After years of being related to the body positivity movement, she explained that her personal journey was never about attempting to change into thin.
“It was never about being ‘thin’ for me,” she wrote. “I do not even think it’s possible for me to be considered actually ‘thin.”

Lizzo Opens Up About Dark Period That Led To Her Wellness Journey
Within the essay, Lizzo said she stays pleased with her body and the physical marks that include it.
“I’ll all the time have the stretch and the skin of a girl who carries great weight. And I’m pleased with that. Even when the world doesn’t want me to be,” she said.
The artist also reflected on the difficult period that pushed her to rethink her health in 2023.
On the time, she said she felt “severely depressed” and “deeply suicidal” following a serious controversy involving a lawsuit filed by former backup dancers who accused her of sexual harassment, fat-shaming, and fostering a hostile work environment, allegations she has strongly denied.

During that period, Lizzo said she struggled with intense emotional distress and initially began reducing weight unintentionally while coping with what she described as self-neglect and private turmoil.
Over time, therapy helped her change her mindset and focus more intentionally on caring for her body.

The Singer Reveals Therapy And Pilates Sparked Her Intentional Weight-Loss Journey
Lizzo revealed that her wellness journey began unexpectedly after she began taking Pilates classes, which became a way for her to process emotional pain.
“I used it as physical therapy. Sometimes I cried after sessions,” Lizzo wrote, explaining that the early weight changes weren’t deliberate.
Later, the “About Rattling Time” singer recorded a video diary where she decided she desired to shed weight intentionally, not due to external pressure, but because she desired to feel higher in her body and address unresolved emotional issues, including grief over her father’s death in 2009 and past toxic relationships.
Through therapy, Lizzo said she realized her weight had long served as a type of emotional protection.
“My weight had been a protective shield, a joyful comfort zone, and even sometimes a superhero suit to guard me through life,” she wrote. “My weight, like my hair, represented time. It stored energy. And I desired to release myself from it. So, from that moment on, any weight on my physical body that was subtracted was not a pound ‘lost’ but a pound ‘released.'”

Lizzo Says Critics Focused On Her Body As an alternative Of Her Music
Lizzo admitted that despite her success, she often felt frustrated that her identity was overshadowed by discussions about her body, adding that “people couldn’t see my talent as a musician because they were too busy accusing me of creating ‘being fat’ my whole personality.”
She said she deliberately leaned into “hypersexual and vulgar” stage performances as a technique to challenge stereotypes often placed on Black women within the entertainment industry.
Lizzo also addressed criticism from either side of the conversation, noting that some individuals who once supported her body positivity message have now questioned her transformation.
“We’re in an era where the larger girls are getting smaller because they’re bored with being judged,” she wrote. “And now those greater girls are being judged for getting smaller by the very community they used to empower.”
Despite the changes, Lizzo emphasized that her core message stays the identical: people must have the liberty to evolve without shame. “There’s nothing flawed with living in an even bigger body. There’s nothing flawed with being fat. But when a girl wants to vary, she needs to be allowed to vary,” she wrote.
