“To the person that lost weight over the holidays… don’t you worry one bit.

Kelly’s Journey with Weight and Health

Over the years, Kelly hasn’t shied away from being open and honest with her fans about her weight. After revealing she was dealing with a thyroid condition, she shared in an interview with Extra that changing her diet was key to shedding some pounds and improving her overall health. “I literally read this book, and it changed everything for me,” she explained. “It was all about managing an autoimmune disease I had. Thanks to The Plant Paradox by Steven R. Gundry, MD, my levels are back to normal, and I don’t even need medication anymore. It’s been life-changing!”

Kelly’s Body Positivity Message

Now, here’s the thing: even though Kelly lost weight, it didn’t change how she felt about herself. In fact, she’s always been a huge advocate for loving yourself exactly as you are. In a past interview with Redbook, Kelly opened up about her relationship with her body. “Here’s the truth: I’m happiest when I’m not obsessing over my weight,” she said. “People might think something’s wrong when I gain a few pounds, but for me, that’s often a sign of happiness. On the flip side, when I’m too focused on being skinny, that’s usually when I’m not doing so well emotionally.”

Kelly continues to be a shining example for her two kids, River Blackstock, 4, and Remington Alexander Blackstock, 2, by showing them that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Her message of self-acceptance and body positivity is something we could all stand to learn from. Whether it’s through her music, her humor, or her openness about her personal life, Kelly proves time and again that she’s not just a star but a real person who gets it.
