Kelly Clarkson has been open about her weight loss journey in recent years. During a candid chat with talk show legend Whoopi Goldberg, the singer reflected on a pivotal moment that sparked change.
While watching a past performance playback, Kelly had a startling revelation. “I paused and I was like, ‘Who the f–k is that?’ I swear to god, it sounds insane” she said. Even those closest to her didn’t notice the gradual shift. “I looked at my manger … and she was like, ‘I’m kind of as shocked as you’.”
Weighing in at over 200 pounds (ca. 91 kg), Kelly realized she lost sight of herself. “I was never insecure about it. I was happy … I just did not see that.” she noted. “I maybe should have known because I watched that show and I was like, ‘Any second now, she is going to die.'”
Whoopi related to Kelly’s experience, sharing her own health transformation with medication assistance. Curious, Kelly revealed taking a similar approach under doctor’s care. “My doctor chased me for like two years, and I was like, ‘No, I’m afraid of it,'” she said.
Having thyroid issues, Kelly worried. But her prescription specifically targets sugar processing, something her body struggles with. The results have been life-changing.
Over the past few years, medications assisting weight loss have gained popularity. Both Ozempic and Mounjaro, prescribed “off-label” by some doctors, work in part by curbing appetite and blood sugar.
For Kelly, the lifestyle shifts have stuck. “Walking in the city is quite the workout” she stated. Embracing wellness rituals and a protein-focused diet also paid off.
