Lizzo shows off dramatic results of mind and body overhaul amid ‘gap year’

The singer has shared a before and after video of herself as she continues to overhaul her lifestyle amid ‘gap year’ from music.

Lizzo is looking good as hell – and she’s feeling even better to boot.

The singer shared a video on Instagram featuring before and after clips of herself in the midst of her lifestyle overhaul and subsequent body transformation, but she wanted to assure fans that she looked just as great even when a little heavier.

“FINE BOTH WAYS,” the 26-year-old Grammy winner captioned the video.

It’s clear that her transformation has more to do with her wellbeing than it is to do with her weight. Separate from her video, Lizzo also posted an “affirmation of the week”, which featured a quote stressing the importance of “repair” in adulthood.

The singer stresses that her transformation isn’t just about her weight.

“I chose repair over resentment,” read the quote. “I comfort the child within me who didn’t get what they needed. I can’t go back in time, but I can shape-shift my life so that my wellbeing in now centred.”

It seems this change has been a year in the making for Lizzo. In an Instagram post shared just days ago, she also revealed she went through a dark time this time last year and needed to reset her life.

“No revenge because Saturn has my back,” she wrote alongside a selfie taken at the gym. “I’m so grateful to God during this eclipse season… I’m normally so scared and stressed but this time I’m finding joy & comfort in honouring my feelings and healing my inner baby Lizzo.”

She continued, “A year ago today I was so broken and dark that I couldn’t have imagined feeling the way I do now. This is a message for anyone going thru it — don’t allow the darkness to become you. Because everything that is done in the dark always comes back to the light. I LOVE YOU.”

This time last year, Lizzo faced shock allegations from three of her former back-up dancers.

The trio came forward with a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles claiming they were victims of a hostile work environment, discrimination, false imprisonment and assault while they were employed by Lizzo and her tour company, Big Grrrl Big Touring (BGBT).

Lizzo denied all the allegations, issuing a statement on social media at the time.

“These last few days have been gut-wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing. My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticised,” she wrote on Instagram.

“Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed.”

Lizzo said the claims were “sensationalised stories” from former employees who had “publicly admitted they were told their behaviour was inappropriate and unprofessional”.

“I am not here to be looked at as a victim, but I also know that I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be these last few days.”

As the case remains unresolved, Lizzo announced last month that she is taking a “gap year” from music.

“I’m taking a gap year & protecting my peace,” she revealed.
