Kelly Clarkson, the American Idol winner, has recently revealed her shocking weight loss transformation. The 41-year-old singer has been flaunting her toned frame on her talk show, showcasing the results of her hard work. This transformation comes after Clarkson made “better life choices” following her messy divorce and brutal custody battle from Brandon Blackstock.
Clarkson has been open about her struggles with weight loss throughout her career, especially after being diagnosed with a thyroid condition in 2006. In 2017, she revealed that she contemplated suicide after being forced to lose weight at the beginning of her music career. The pressure to be thin for the sake of her career made her “miserable” and was a “very dark time” for her. However, Clarkson clarified on Twitter that she has never contemplated suicide because of her weight and that she appeared healthy despite being unhappy.
In 2018, Clarkson took to social media to jokingly express her disdain for working out. She tweeted, “‘This just in,’ Kelly tweeted. ‘I still hate working out.’ She added, ‘I’m sweaty, red, and not any thinner.’ However, she later lost 37lbs after reading a book called The Plant Paradox by Steven R. Gundry, MD. The book helped her adopt a new diet and she noticed significant changes in her weight as well as improvements in her autoimmune disease and thyroid problem.
Despite her weight loss, Clarkson has faced pressure from the music industry to conform to certain beauty standards. She admitted that she felt more pressure when she was thin and was often shown naked magazine covers of women and asked to compete with them. However, she now feels happier and more confident in her life.
Overall, Kelly Clarkson’s weight loss journey has been filled with ups and downs, but she has remained resilient and determined to be comfortable in her own skin. Her openness and honesty about her struggles have inspired many and encouraged them to embrace their own bodies.
