Lizzo says boyfriend changed her mind about weight loss

Lizzo appeared on an episode of the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast where she opened up about how her boyfriend, Myke Wright helped change her perspective on weight loss.

“My man, he's so funny,” she said. “He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, 'Oh my gosh I lost five pounds' and he was like, 'Where did it go?'”

She continued, “I was mad at him, I was like, 'Why would he say that?' but he was like, 'Where did it go?'”

“I didn’t want to lose anything—I wanted to win,” Lizzo added.

About the media’s impact on how she thought about her own body, the singer remarked, “Be careful with your words because it can affect somebody in ways you don't even know. Even me releasing the weight has affected people and I take that seriously.”

Gushing over relationship with Wright, she added, “I am very much in love with Myke. 100 percent. There’s nobody else I’m going to be with for the rest of my life.”
