Known for her songs about confidence and body acceptance, Pink retaliates back at people who shame women for their weight and plump figures.
The pop star posted an Instagram gym selfie on Sunday and dedicated a message to women who are struggling to conform to fitness standards because of body-shaming.
“Would you believe I’m 160 pounds and 5’3″? By ‘regular standards, that makes me obese,” she captioned her selfie. “I know I’m not at my goal or anywhere near it after baby [number two] but dammit I don’t feel obese. The only thing I’m feeling is myself. Stay off that scale ladies!”
Fans took to Instagram to thank Pink for her positive message. “You are the true inspiration for new moms…keep it real, always,” one user lauded.
