Lizzo has been a vocal advocate for body positivity and self-love, often challenging societal norms about beauty. In a candid Instagram post, she shared, “I’m not working out to have your ideal body type. I’m working out to have my ideal body type.” She continued, “And you know what type that is? None of your f***ing business.”
The singer has been open about her journey to self-acceptance, saying, “I started talking to my belly this year. Blowing her kisses and showering her with praises. I used to want to cut my stomach off. I hated it so much. But it’s literally ME. I am learning to radically love every part of myself. Even if it means talking to myself every morning.”

Jameela Jamil has used her platform to criticize the diet industry and the unrealistic beauty standards promoted by celebrities. “I have been told to lose weight, gain weight, change my hair, get injections, get surgery, and I did none of it,” she told Stylist. “I did the thing that no one does: I just kept on staying the same size.”
The actress and activist has also spoken out against Photoshop and the pressure to look perfect on social media. “I don’t wear makeup, I don’t have extensions, I don’t have surgery, I don’t edit my pictures,” she said. “I’m just me, and I’ve learned to love that.”
