“I think I had to start with cleaning out my mind and my energy and clearing out all of the negativity around me. And I feel like I released so much I was holding on,” Lizzo said. “I do call it a weight release because [when] it started, I got snatched here first. And then my body just followed suit, so I do feel amazing.”

By April, the singer opened up about her transformation on Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast, describing it as a “weight release journey.”
“I have been on an intentional weight release journey,” she said. “I put it on the internet. I posted about it, and I think over the last year and a half, as I’ve been doing it, my body has been changing — very slowly — but I don’t think people were paying attention.”

Despite the shift in appearance, Lizzo emphasized her stance remains the same: “I was still very anti-fatphobia on this entire journey. But I think that we gotta remember: everybody’s not seeing your sh-t all the time, everybody’s not seeing every video you post, everybody’s not privy to what you’re going through.”
