Britney Spears is getting candid with her fans about losing weight.

In an Instagram post on Friday, the Toxic singer shared close-up photos of her face, showcasing her slimmed-down look.

“It’s really weird whenever I try to slim down it usually starts with my legs first … then my stomach … then my face … and that’s when I know I’ve actually lost weight !!!!” Spears began in the post’s caption.

“When you swipe to the second pic you can actually really see how slim my face is but I’m not so sure I like it,” Spears admitted before explaining why.

“In the old days when women were heavier they were considered more attractive to men because it was a sign of wealth !!!!” she stated.

Spears went on to say that she has “a couple of throwback dances from this summer” where she “looked heavier.” “But it’s weird cause I think I was happier !!!!” Spears added.

“Oh well … sorry for my shallow talk of weight … but it is what it is you know !!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!!!!” Spears concluded.

Fans were quick to praise the pop star. “You’re beautiful no matter what you weigh,” wrote one person. “You’re perfect just the way you are,” said another.

Earlier Friday, Spears posted a video showing off her dance moves. The 39-year-old musician was wearing a black lace catsuit in the post.

On Thursday, Spears’ father, Jamie, agreed to step down as the Gimme More singer’s conservator once a proper plan is put into place, Fox News confirmed.

Spears has yet to comment publicly on her father’s decision.

The two have been locked in a court battle over the past few years as the singer works to regain control of her life.

Jamie has controlled Spears’ conservatorship since 2009 after she went through a series of involuntary psychiatric holds.
