Lizzo gets candid about experiencing 'negative thoughts' about her body: 'I know I'm beautiful, I just don’t feel it'
Lizzo is known for her body positivity, but even she has bad days.
The “Truth Hurts” singer, 32, got candid about having a bad day — and “negative thoughts” about herself — in a post on TikTok.
"I came home and I took my clothes off to take a shower and I just started having all of these really negative thoughts about myself,” she admitted. “Like ‘What’s wrong with me? Maybe everything. All the mean things people say about me are true.’ And, ‘Why am I so disgusting?’ And hating my body.”
“Normally, I would have some positive thing to say to get me out of this, but I don’t, and that’s OK too. I think these are normal [thoughts]. They happen to everybody. They happen to the best of us.”
She continued, “We are the best of us, and I just have to know that tomorrow how I feel in here,” pointing to her head, “is gonna change. And I can only hope that it changes for the better. But I know I’m beautiful, I just don’t feel it. But I know I’m gonna get through it.”
The next day, Lizzo reported that she “woke up feeling better — not 100 percent but I’m getting there,” she wrote. “Gave the parts of me I hated last night a rub & a hug. Issss a new day.”
Right before this, Lizzo was celebrating how far the body positive movement has come. She said she was “proud of the big girls who gave it wings. My body is changing but I’m gonna keep appreciating it from every angle.”
Lizzo has long been praised for her plus-size body positivity and self-confidence — and received support from followers for her candid post. Earlier this year, she adopted a vegan diet and shared that with her followers, but made it clear that she is “happy both ways” —whether she’s eating a plant-based diet or a meat diet — but “right now, this is what’s bringing me joy.”
