Adele Details Criticism She Received Over Weight Loss Success

A few days ago, Adele had the internet ecstatic, after revealing that she would be releasing her first single since 2015. This is "Easy On Me," as it's scheduled for an October 15 release date. The singer took to her social media feeds to post a trailer in anticipation of the single, as she's seen putting a cassette tape, in her car. This single is also hinting that Adele may release her first album since 2015, which was "25."

Over the last few years, Adele has looked different, in regards to her body, compared to when she first became a superstar, 13 years ago. Adele has slimed down a lot, as fans have been impressed by the progress she made, in her weight loss. In a new interview with Vogue's November cover story, she dived into this topic, and revealed that she was able to lose weight, due to her managing her anxiety.

"It became my time, explained Adele, regarding workouts that she put in, at a gym in West Hollywood, CA. "I realized that when I was working out, I didn't have any anxiety. It was never about losing weight. I thought, If I can make my body physically strong, and I can feel that and see that, then maybe one day I can make my emotions and my mind physically strong."

Adele also spoke with British Vogue, and revealed that she became "quite addicted" to exercising. On days where she experienced more anxiety, she would work out 2-3 times a day. This resulted in Adele losing 100 pounds.

 "It was never about losing weight, it was always about becoming strong and giving myself as much time every day without my phone," Adele explained.

Adele also revealed that people were initially shocked at her weight loss success. This was due to the fact that she didn't publicly document the work that she was putting in.

"People are shocked because I didn't share my 'journey'. They're used to people documenting everything on Instagram, and most people in my position would get a big deal with a diet brand. I couldn't give a flying f---. I did it for myself and not anyone else. So why would I ever share it? I don't find it fascinating. It's my body. My body's been objectified my entire career. It's not just now. I understand why it's a shock. I understand why some women especially were hurt. Visually I represented a lot of women. But I'm still the same person."

Adele added that the "worst part" of all the criticism was what other women were saying about her body. She admitted that this definitely hurt her feelings, and emphasized that women deserve to enjoy any body type that they have.

"And the worst part of the whole thing was that the most brutal conversations were being had by other women about my body," she continued. "I was very f---ing disappointed with that. That hurt my feelings. You don't need to be overweight to be body positive, you can be any shape or size."
