I still think I\u2019m big. I\u2019m still wearing plus-size clothing. I have the same rolls. I got the same belly, the same thighs \u2013 I think I\u2019m just a smaller version.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also emphasised her journey is not about staying the same but about self-acceptance and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>\nLizzo also addressed speculation around the use of Ozempic, a weight-loss drug, and surgery \u2013 rumours that have followed her since she began sharing her weight loss publicly in 2023. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe dismissed the idea that either method would diminish her pride.<\/p>\n<p>\nLizzo added: \u201cIf I did all of this on Ozempic, if I did all this with surgery, I would be just as proud of myself, because this s*** is hard. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cEveryone who\u2019s ever been in a bigger body in this current version of society knows that this sht ain\u2019t easy. Existing isn\u2019t easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe singer also revealed she briefly tried Ozempic but stopped because it did not work for her. <\/p>\n<p>\nOn the Just Trish podcast in June, Lizzo explained: \u201cOzempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it\u2019s the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nLizzo shared a dramatic before-and-after photo set of her weight loss journey earlier this month, attributing her results to lymphatic massages and hard work rather than medication. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe wrote on social media: \u201cI work my a** off, training 3x a week, daily sauna   cardio, adding animal protein back into my diet, hiring a chef who helps me meal prep and keeps track of what I put into my body in a calorie deficit, cutting out sugary Starbucks and full fat sodas and potato chips\u2026 I quit drinking for the longest\u2026 (but I\u2019m drinking again cus I earned it!)\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/lizzo-hails-body-positivity-radical-act-1423583.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 August 2025 Lizzo says body positivity is a \u201cradical act\u201d.
