"If you’re reading this… remember you can do ANYTHING you put ur mind to! Stay focused, you got this 💪🏾"
Internet users were quick to express their opinion under the singer's workout video, wherein the majority of the comments referred to the singer getting into shape owing to cyber-bullying and an episode from South Park.

In the episode, one of the characters, Eric Cartman is prescribed an alternative to expensive weight loss medicine in the form of the singer's name. The scene is followed by an advertisement which states:
"“In case studies, 70% of patients on Lizzo no longer cared how much they weighed. Lizzo helps you eat everything you want and keep physical activity to a minimum… Ask about the power of not giving a f**k, with Lizzo."
Referring to the South Park episode, one of the internet users commented under the Truth Hurts singer's gyming post and mentioned:
The comment section of the singer's post was divided into those who claimed South Park caused her to go to the gym, while the other half praised and encouraged the singer:
"The way you feel about your body changes every single day"- Lizzo comments on body neutrality
Lizzo launched her shapewear brand YITTY in 2022, but she keeps endorsing the same and talked about getting into the brand's shapewear-influenced swimwear line in an interview with the New York Times in March 2024.
Commenting on the evolving idea of body positivity, the 2 Be Loved singer told the publication that the idea of body positivity has moved away from the "antiquated mainstream conception" and that it has evolved into body neutrality. She continued:
“I’m not going to lie and say I love my body every day. The bottom line is, the way you feel about your body changes every single day.”
The singer mentioned that there are some days when she adores her body and others when she doesn't feel completely positive. Moreover, since the singer wasn't touring at the time she stated that she was taking the time every day to put some love into her body, adding that there is never a day that she regrets taking a walk or doing pilates.
The Tempo singer also talked about her diet and told the publication that she has been methodical and "losing weight very slowly".
In March 2024, the singer took to Instagram with a post stating "I quit" and mentioning that she was starting to feel like the world didn't want her in it and that she was fed up with being targeted for how she looked online.
However, she clarified her statement in a video in April 2024, telling fans that when she said she quit, she meant quitting on giving attention to any negative energy.
