Bigger Girls Are Getting Thinner To Avoid Being Judged – Lizzo

Popular singer Lizzo has opened up about her weight loss journey. She recently expressed her concern with the current state of weight-loss culture, and fans have been reacting.

Speaking via a candid personal essay shared hours ago titled “Why is everybody losing weight and what do we do? Sincerely, a person who’s lost weight,” Lizzo disclosed that she presently weighs over 200 lbs.

According to her, while she is still a proud big girl, it is clear that plus-size women are slowly vanishing in the age of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic.

The singer stated that the negative effects the Ozempic craze has had on society must be undone for the world to feel normal again.

“So here we are halfway through the decade, where extended sizes are being magically erased from websites. Plus-sized models are no longer getting booked for modeling gigs.

And all of our big girls are not-so-big anymore. We have a lot of work to do, to undo the effects of the Ozempic boom,” she wrote.

Lizzo, however, acknowledged that conversations around weight loss are not so simple, stressing that she was partly motivated to lose weight because she was tired of her identity being overshadowed by her size.

She concluded by saying that it is sad that we are now in an era when bigger girls are getting smaller because of the fear of being judged.

“People could not see my talent as a musician because they were too busy accusing me of making ‘being fat’ my whole personality. I had to actively work against ‘mammy’ tropes by being hypersexual and vulgar because being a mammy by definition is being desexualized.

And that’s the reality that nobody wants to talk about. We’re in an era where the bigger girls are getting smaller because they’re tired of being judged.

The old me would tend to binge when sad and depressed. I would order hundreds of dollars of food delivery and eat everything until my stomach felt like it would explode. But this time I just didn’t feel like doing that.

I want us to allow the body positive movement to expand and grow far away from the commercial slop it’s become. Because movements move,” she added.
