Kelly Clarkson Says She Felt More Pressure to Lose Weight When She Was Really Thin – Prevention.com

Lose Weight Safely Comments Off on Kelly Clarkson Says She Felt More Pressure to Lose Weight When She Was Really Thin – Prevention.com

Kelly Clarkson never wanted the fame that came with her singing talent, but she eventually came to terms with it. Shell never come to terms with, however, the wildly unrealistic body standards she was upheld to as soon as the world learned her name.

In an interview with Glamour UK, she reflected on her early career when comparison was at every corner. I felt more pressure from people actually when I was thin, when I was really thin and not super healthy because I just was worn out, the 38-year-old artist explained. It was more of magazines shoved in front of you and, This is what youre competing with and weve got to compete with it. I cant compete with that.

She continued: There would be a chick naked on the cover. Im not joking, literally naked. I was like, Unless Im doing an SNL skit and this is a comedy thing, Im never going to pull it off. Even in my thinnest, most fit moment, its just not my personality to be naked on the front of a magazine.

At the time, it was hard to reject those expectations because she thought her career depended on them. Since then, shes clearly disproven that theory. I fought more when I was thinner than I do now, because now I just walk in and I just look at them like, I dare you to say something. Im happy in my life. Ill work on me in my time! she said.

Thats pretty much how she approached her gig on The Voice, which shes held for four seasons. I got on the number one television show at my heaviest point, because it was right after I had kids and it was like they didnt care, the singer explained. Paul hired me from NBC because he loved my personality, he loved that I connect with people and Im really raw and real. It had nothing to do with my sex appeal or my look aesthetically. It had to do with me as a person. I think its really up to artists to force people to have that mentality.

Enter, her latest single I Dare You, a self-love anthem that fully embodies her continued mission to embrace individuality. There are always things that happen that come up that bum you out, but at the same time youve got to recognize that it's made you who you are, she stated. Im a very strong individual. Im very confident, and Ive been forced to find that in myself.
