view original post

Pop star Meghan Trainor never expected to face such a significant backlash after losing 60 pounds.

The “All About That Bass” singer, 31, who is married to Daryl Sabada, opened up in a new interview with Extra about how the cruel social media comments following her weight loss drove her to despair.

“Like, all my comments were just evil, attacking me,” Trainor told Extra. “I started posting pictures of myself recently, just like I always did, but for some reason, a flame went off and everyone got mad. Just like, ‘Ew, don’t recognize you. You’re just a walking nose.’ Crazy stuff. Like, mean.”

While she tried to convince herself it didn’t upset her, it did.

“I was like, ‘This doesn’t affect me.’ Yes, it did. I cried so much. They got to me. And my therapist was like, ‘You give them a lot of power,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, I wish I didn’t.’ So I’m trying to learn at 31 how to not give strangers power,” she continued.

Trainor went on to say that a stranger walked up to her and commented on her weight loss before saying anything else.

“Didn’t say hi. Wasn’t like, ‘Nice to meet you.’ Was just like, ‘Yo, I saw a video of you earlier and you, like, shed all this weight,’” the singer remembered. “I was like, ‘Hello? Nice to meet you?’”

Trainor’s Trainer Posted Her Before-and-After Weight Loss Photos

Trainor’s trainer, Bella Maher of Malibu Bodies. shared some before-and-after photos of Trainor on her Instagram page. In the pics, the pop star can be seen sporting working clothes and smiling for the camera with her eyes closed. But in the caption, Maher opened up, stating that the difference between the two photos is more than just dramatic weight loss.

“Watching her transform from the inside out has been one of the most meaningful parts of my work. She did so much of this on her own before ever introducing a GLP-1, and even after starting it, the medication was simply a support, not the reason for her results. GLP-1s can be a powerful tool, but they’re certainly not a transformation plan. SHE is the reason this worked,” Maher wrote. “She prioritized strength training, protein, intention, structure, and showing up even on the days she didn’t feel like it. She built this. She earned this. And now she gets to live in a body that supports her for life. SO proud of you, my girl!! EDIT: AND P.S. it was actually Jan 2024 not 2023!!”

Trainor Opened Up About Her Weight Loss

Back in March, Trainor spoke on Instagram about how honored she was to be recognized by Billboard as a “Woman in Music.” However, she expressed disappointment that people were more focused on her slimmer appearance than her music achievements. In the caption, she revealed she had been using Mounjaro, the brand name for the injectable prescription drug tirzepatide.

Trainor also had plastic surgery, undergoing a breast lift and getting breast implants.

“I love my results so much,” she shared on social media after the surgery. “My breasts look fuller yet completely natural, and they complement my body proportions beautifully.” She also joked that her breasts are “finally twin sisters and not distant cousins.”
