Lizzo Stuns In Body Hugging Sequin Dress Following Impressive Weight Loss Transformation
Grammy winner Lizzo, 37, has a message for those who criticized her body transformation journey. The American singer took to Substackto share her piece of truth on November 24, where she chronicled her ongoing health journey over the last few years. The Good as Hell singer details in the Substack how people have judged her since she has slimmed down.
She wrote, "It was never about being 'thin' for me. I don't even think it's possible for me to be considered actually 'thin.' I will always have the stretch and the skin of a woman who carries great weight. And I'm proud of that. Even when the world doesn't want me to be."

The 37-year-old singer further expressed that she started losing weight in the fall of 2023. In the essay, she said, "I was severely depressed. I had been the subject of a vicious scandal, and it felt like the whole world turned its back on me. I became deeply suicidal. I cut off all my loved ones."
Recalling her experience of 'self-loating and self-neglect', Lizzo confessed to taking up Pilates to lose weight, even though it 'wasn't intentional'. She explained, "After talking to a few therapists, I discovered that my weight had been a protective shield, a joyful comfort zone, and even sometimes a superhero suit to protect me through life. My weight, like my hair, represented time. It stored energy. And I wanted to release myself from it."
Amazing. Incredible. Good for her.
Look, I don't even know who she is other than an overweight famous person. However, if she is getting in shape good for her! No hate here. It is not easy for people to see themselves as a "work in progress". GO LIZZO! And look! Giant Afro! pic.twitter.com/brB1UvuJ9o American Wolf (@AmericanWolf24) September 16, 2024
Following her body transformation, Lizzo revealed that she started receiving criticism for losing weight. She wrote, "We're in an era where the bigger girls are getting smaller because they're tired of being judged. And now those bigger girls are being judged for getting smaller by the very community they used to empower."
Lizzo thinks, "There's nothing wrong with living in a bigger body. There's nothing wrong with being fat. But if a woman wants to change, she should be allowed to change."
Despite her concerns, the Grammy winner said in the Substackthat she is 'a big proud girl'. She further added, "And I love myself as much as I've loved myself no matter what the scale says. There may be some bad actors amongst us. Some people may have used the movement for financial gain or fame, and once it no longer served them they abandoned it. That's ok, it was never about them anyway."
The Grammy winner adds in the essay that she specifically wanted to change how she felt in her body for reasons. Lizzo explained, "I had been holding onto so much since my father passed away in 2009. I had been holding onto relationships that were deeply abusive and toxic since 2011. I had been carrying the weight of supporting my family since 2016. I wanted to let-it-the-f--- go."
