‘Like, you know, “What’s wrong with me?” Maybe everything, all the mean things people say about me are true. And, you know, “Why am I so disgusting?” and hating my body.’

Lizzo added: ‘I think these are normal. They happen to everybody. They happen to the best of us. We are the best of us. And I just have to know that tomorrow how I feel in here [she pointed 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 going to get through it.’

The caption for the video read: ‘Wild to see the body positive movement come so far. Proud of the big girls who gave it wings.’
She added: ‘My body is changing but I’m gonna keep appreciating it from every angle.’
The singer has been very open about her love for her body, and has been vocal about her support for the body positivity movement as a whole.
In an interview with Glamour, the Juice singer noted that her self-confidence was not something that was hard to maintain, and opined that she was trying to change the public perception regarding her own views on her body.
‘I don’t like it when people think it’s hard for me to see myself as beautiful…I don’t like it when people are shocked that I’m doing it.’
She also stated that the rise of social media has made it possible for people of all sizes to become highly visible, and as a result, normalise their body types.
Tears: In November, Lizzo broke down in tears during another candid TikTok video as she revealed the downside to fame and money
In November, Lizzo broke down in tears during another candid TikTok video as she revealed the downside to fame and money.
The Good As Hell hitmaker was emotional as she told her 11.7 million followers that fame only highlights the problems already in your life.
The star is said to be worth around $10 million following the huge success of her 2019 album Cuz I Love You.
‘You can be the coolest, most richest person ever and it doesn’t buy you f**king happiness,’ she told her followers.
With her voice breaking, she continued: ‘Money doesn’t buy you happiness. Fame only puts a magnifying glass on the s**t that you already have.’

‘And if that s**t is f**ked up, you’re just going to have even more magnified f**ked up s**t in situations where it doesn’t even seem valid or like you’re even like supposed to feel that way and so it f**ks you up even more because you feel super f**king ungrateful,’ she went on to say.
With tears filling her eyes, Lizzo admitted she was working on her inner struggles, explaining: ‘I’m just telling everyone now, anyone who has internal issues or has like any type of self problems that they need to work out, work out now because money, fame, or success or even getting older doesn’t really fix that s**t.’
‘You need to just do it. Do the inner work, because no matter where you are if you don’t, it’s going to haunt you like a f**king ghost.’
‘I’m working on it too and today is just not a good day. It’s okay to not have a good day even when it seems like you should,’ she ended.
Just one week earlier, the star shared a throwback video of herself looking incredible in a pink and blue bikini as she tucked into tortilla chips after drizzling them with lime.
‘Mentally I’m here…’ Just a week earlier, the star shared a throwback video of herself looking incredible in a pink and blue bikini during her recent trip to Mexico
She also shared a video of herself twerking on a sun lounger in front of a beautiful sunset on both her stories and her grid. She wrote: ‘Mentally I’m here.’
Last year Lizzo explained to British Vogue how she her mental health was affected by seeing negative and stereotypical images of plus-size bodies as a child.
‘I would watch things on television and look at magazines and I would not see myself,’ she said. ‘When you don’t see yourself, you think something is wrong with you.’
‘You want to look like those things and when you realise it’s a physical impossibility you start to think, “What the f**k is wrong with me?”
‘I think that took a bigger toll on me, psychologically, growing up than what anyone could have said to me.’
