Adele's weight loss slammed by critic.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

This is interesting. In a previous post, I wrote about how Political analyst Dr. Boyce Watkins emphasised how Lizzo's obesity should NOT be celebrated.

And yet another Political speechwriter who goes by the name Audra Williams is now saying Adele's weight loss should NOT be celebrated either. Soooo, let's look at both angles. We're not suppose to celebrate a pop singer being overweight but when another overweight pop singer does shed the weight, it is STILL a problem. Contrasting arguments!

Check out Audra Williams' rant below:

Celebrating Adele's weight loss is a garbage thing to do for a million reasons. Here are two:

1. It tells your fat friends you think their bodies are a problem to be solved.

2. The weight loss could be the result of physical or mental health struggles. Weird to cheer about!

I had a nervous breakdown two years ago and was unable to eat. My heart was constantly racing to the point where my Fitbit tracked me doing 15 hours of cardio on a day I didn't leave my bed. I lost over 20% my body weight in four months.

If people saw a picture of me before and after, probably they'd think the after version was healthier (and some kind of achievement). In reality, this illness did lasting damage to my digestive system that I need to have a camera down my throat next month to assess.

Anyway shut up about Adele's body and everyone's body and shut up in advance about any dieting you are gonna do in the New Year or ever.

Weird that so many people are determined to ignore my second point which is that we have no idea how/why Adele lost weight? They are like "She clearly worked hard for this" when -- as I said -- the weight loss could have been a side effect of a serious illness (like mine was).

You can't tell by looking at someone how healthy they are.

And I'm not dictating what size anyone is. I'm not being critical of Adele at all. I'm being critical of the thousands of strangers commenting on her body, and by extension all fat bodies.

Anyway shout out to the people calling me a twat in my DMs! Die mad!

I don't think anyone should be criticising anyone's weight loss without knowing that person's weight loss methods or the ins and outs of their weight loss journey. Williams said it herself, "we have no idea how/why Adele lost weight." In deed, we have no idea how she did it (or what medical condition might have caused it as implied), so why is she writing dissertations on Twitter criticizing Adele's weight loss? Makes no sense. Just because YOU lost weight due to an illness doesn’t mean Adele did. I be damned if someone were to SPECULATE and tell me I was unhealthy simply because I shed three stone even though I did it the healthy way via a healthy diet and regular exercise. Who's to say Adele did not use these methods for her weight loss journey? Some are even speculating she might have had gastric band surgery. Regardless of how she did it, she took control and lost the weight and now she's happier for it. Sometimes it's not just about being healthy. Most of the time, a new body can also emanate a new-found confidence in someone. Stop trying to project your own weight loss experience onto someone else, and be happy of the very likely scenario that she made positive changes to her life.
