“The Extra Skin Will Never Go Away”: Lizzo’s Bikini Twerk With Grammys Sparks Buzz

In interviews and on social media, she’s carefully used the phrase “weight release journey,” to avoid any toxicity that could stem from insensitive language, especially as many young people look up to her.

“Once I started working out for mental health, to have balanced mental health or endorphins, so that I don’t look at myself in the mirror and feel ashamed of myself, and feel disgusted with myself, exercise has helped me shift my mind, not my body,” she revealed in a TikTok video on May 2023.

She added, “My body is gonna change, everyone’s bodies change. That’s life.”
