Let’s get right into the good stuff now. Adele, 33, has managed to keep her year-long
health battle a secret. But now she's finally speaking out about her 100-pound
weight loss and how it all came about as a result of a renewed focus on mental health.
The musician gave a rare insight into her battle with anxiety following her divorce
from Simon Konecki and the COVID-19 pandemic during her "Adele, One Night Only" TV special
with Oprah. Adele claims that she turned to exercise for relief, which resulted in
her losing weight. She told Oprah, "It really contributed towards me getting my mind right."
The "Hello" singer opened up even more about her health changes in an October interview
with British Vogue, explaining why she chose to keep her "100-pound" weight loss a secret.
Adele is now fighting back against the backlash to her weight loss, claiming that she was most
hurt by the "brutal conversations" other women had about her body, as she told Vogue. The "Easy
on Me" singer told Oprah, "it is not my job to validate how people feel about their bodies."
“I feel bad if anyone feels horrible about themselves, but that’s not my job.
I’m trying to sort my own life out. I can’t have another worry.” she continued
“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,”
she said in the British Vogue interview. “I couldn’t give a flying f**k. I did it for myself
and not anyone else. So why would I ever share it? I don’t find it fascinating. it is my body.”
Adele insists that she hasn't changed on the inside despite her new look:
“My body’s been objectified my entire career. it is not just now,” she told Vogue in a separate
interview last month. “I understand why it is a shock. I understand why some women
especially were hurt. Visually I represented a lot of women. But I’m still the same person.”
“You don’t need to be overweight to be body positive. You can be any shape
or size,” she continued in British Vogue and reiterated in her recent interview with Oprah.
According to Adele, she lost 100 pounds over the last few years to feel her best today.
Adele opened up about how she did it and here is what she had to say:
Adele told British Vogue that working out had become "quite addictive" because it made her
feel good. She said, "I work out two or three times a day." The singer prefers
strength training in the mornings and hiking or boxing in the afternoons.
She does her cardio at night. “I was basically unemployed when I was doing it. And I do it
with trainers,” she said, admitting that this routine is “not very doable for a lot of people.”
The star said the transformation was "mainly" about controlling her anxiety.
"I had the most terrifying anxiety attacks after I left my marriage," she explained.
"They paralyzed me completely, and made me so confused because I wouldn't be able
to have any control over my body." Adele wanted to focus on feeling
stronger—physically and mentally—after two slipped discs and a C-section.
“She got really turned on to movement, and especially strength training. So turned on
that she started doing double sessions,” Gregg Miele, the singer's personal trainer, told Vogue.
(Over the past three years, Adele has probably spent more time with Miele than anyone else.)
However, Adele's weight loss journey began a few years ago. The singer said in a 2016 interview
with Vogue that she was working out to stay in shape for her shows, which resulted in weight
loss. “I was trying to get some stamina for my tour, so I lost a bit of weight.
Now I fit into normal, off-the-shelf clothes—which is a really big problem for me!” she shared.
“I’m actually an athlete—I’m not even boasting,” she told Oprah this month.
“I’m also a very good boxer. I have got a left hook that could kill you.
If only at school I hadn’t discovered boys and someone had told me to go and do a bit more PE.”
Adele has been on a "strict" diet, according to People magazine in January 2020. Other
publications, including Prevention, reported that the singer was on the Sirtfood diet,
but the singer denied it to British Vogue. “No. "I ain't done that," she stated emphatically.
Adele, in fact, isn't picky about her food; she told Oprah she loves Chinese
food and stopped by McDonald's the night before their interview. Chicken nuggets,
a Big Mac, and fries are her go-to menu items. She told British Vogue, "That's my
three-course." "At least once a week, I eat it." The star also stated that she had never tried
intermittent fasting or any other diet.“If anything I eat more than I
used to because I work out so hard,” she said. “That whole thing of like, ‘Gets
Revenge Body’ ... it is ridiculous. I think it is that people love to portray a
divorced woman as spinning out of control.” In fact, Adele has spoken well about her
ex-husband and basically portrait him as her life savior: "At that time in my life, I was
so young and I think I would have got in all of it. I could’ve easily gone down some dodgy paths
and self-destructed from being so overwhelmed by all of it.” "And he came in and was the most
stable person I'd ever had in my life up until that point. Even now I trust him with my life."
Even if she isn't "in love" with Konecki, Adele insists that she still loves him. The couple
still lives across the street from each other in Los Angeles and co-parents their son, Angelo.
While some may attribute Adele's recent weight loss to her breakup, she claims it has more to do
with being the best mother she can be to her son Angelo. "My entire life fell apart when I was 30
and I had no warning of it," she said of her divorce from Konecki to British Vogue.
“I was just going through the motions and I wasn’t happy,” she continued in Vogue.
“I want my son to see me really love, and be loved. it is really important to me.”
She claims she and Konecki had been separated for a long time before telling anyone.
“I have been on my journey to find my true happiness ever since,” she said.
Adele hinted that she was going through a period of significant growth when she celebrated her
31st birthday. “I have changed drastically in the last couple of years and I’m still changing
and that’s okay. Thirty-one is going to be a big ol’ year and I’m going to spend it all on myself,”
she wrote in an Instagram post at the time. “For the first time in a decade, I’m ready to feel
the world around me and look up for once. Be kind to yourself, people, we’re only human, go slow,
put your phone down and laugh out loud at every opportunity,” she continued.
“Learning to REALLY truly love yourself is it, and I have only just realized that
that is more than enough,” she told Oprah.
And so Winfrey asked, is the lucky sports agent getting a different Adele than
everyone else has gotten?” Talking about Adele’s boyfriend Rich Paul.
“Yeah,” Adele answered hesitantly. “By arriving and turning up [for myself], maybe I’m getting a
different version of him at all. it is just timing. It’ll be interesting to see what my
reaction will be like in general to anything that hurts me now that I feel so secure in myself.
And I’m talking outside of romance as well.” Rich and Adele have "really connected"
in the few months they have been dating, according to the source.
"Adele is having so much fun with Rich; they have bonded over their shared sense of humor,
and they admire each other's work ethic." They make time for each other and give each
other plenty of space so they don't become overbearing," they revealed.
