She Still Has Things About Her Body She Does Not Like
"I don't know if I feel different. I still have things about my body that I don't like," she said in an interview with The Face magazine published Thursday. "They're not insecurities. But on the cover of Vogue, they were all trying to put me in sleeveless dresses. I was like: 'I ain't showing my arms! Are you mad?' I've never liked my arms, ever, and I still don't like my arms. It goes back to that thing of being thin and being happy. "Yeah, my arms are half the size, don't mean I f–king like them! F–king hate my feet still."
She Can't Wear Stuff That Used to Fit
"There's so much jewelry I can't wear [now] because of my hands. No one tells you that, when someone loses weight," she explained. "Not that I was trying to lose weight. But my rings don't fit me anymore. Things that were gifts for my 21st birthday, I can't f–king wear," she told the Face.
She Worked Out Three Times a Day
"It was because of my anxiety. Working out, I would just feel better. It was never about losing weight, it was always about becoming strong and giving myself as much time every day without my phone. I got quite addicted to it. I work out two or three times a day," she told British Vogue. She added: "So I do my weights in the morning, then I normally hike or I box in the afternoon, and then I go and do my cardio at night. I was basically unemployed when I was doing it. And I do it with trainers."
She Can Joke About Her Weight Loss
She joked about her weight loss in her opening monologue on Saturday Night Live. "I know I look really, really different since you last saw me," Adele said. "But actually, because of all the Covid restrictions…I had to travel light and I could only bring half of me, and this is the half I chose."
This is What She Wants to Say with 30
With her new album 30: "I just wanted to acknowledge all of the many layers of myself, which I think is definitely something that comes with age. Obviously, after a really big life moment, like my divorce, it's good to experiment a little bit more with sort of eclectic inspirations. I wanted to, more than anything, just comfort myself. It wasn't really about what I wanted to say for people. It was more like: 'What do I need to hear for myself, lyrically?' It was just my friend, [the process of] making this album. I had to spend a lot of time on my own in order to figure a lot of things out," she told the Face.
