"The weight that is no longer on me is not just fat or physical," she explained on the April 7 episode of Jay Shetty ’s On Purpose podcast.
"I released so much to get to this point and I think people can see that and I don't want to describe anything as loss." She added, "I'm not experiencing any loss. I've actually gained so much.
" The "About Damn Time" singer went on to share more of the benefits she’s seen since shedding the pounds. "I've gained a sense of self," she said. "I've gained a lifestyle that I actually really love and I'm like, 'I can maintain this.
' I've gained new perspective on nutrition and the science behind cardio and weight lifting." But although Lizzo is emphasizing how renewed she feels by her fitness journey, she understands that some people won’t be ready to comprehend her new terminology.
