She Has Been Open About Her Weight Gain
Bebe said she felt "disgusting" in her own body after gaining weight. "I haven't been posting as much because I don't feel good in my skin, and when I don't feel good, I don't want to post," she said. "That's really honestly the reason I haven't been posting in the last year or so as much as I used to." She added: "I don't know how to help myself anymore or how to love myself."
She Does Her Best
"As much as I tried to be that skinny pop-star, like the ones I grew up watching or see now, I can't seem to do it in a way that feels natural or healthy," she wrote. "I like to eat. I workout. I drink water. I do my best. I follow the rhythm of my body. Even though it gets hard sometimes I show my body love. #EveryBodyIsBeautiful"
Drinking Water is Key
"During exercise, water is the best fluid replenisher for most individuals, although sports drinks help replace lost electrolytes during high-intensity exercise exceeding 45 to 60 minutes. Individuals who sweat profusely during exercise and whose sweat contains a high amount of sodium (you may notice salt stains/rings on your athletic wear) should choose sports drinks and ensure that their diet contains adequate sodium to prevent hyponatremia (water intoxication)," says ACE Fitness.
She Works Out
"Exercise and physical activity can be enjoyable. They give you a chance to unwind, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun social setting," says the Mayo Clinic. "So take a dance class, hit the hiking trails or join a soccer team. Find a physical activity you enjoy, and just do it. Bored? Try something new, or do something with friends or family."
She Stays True to Herself
"Making it as a female in the music industry and being able to take care of myself…and being able to take care of my parents feels like success to me," she says. "It allowed me to follow my dreams and believe in myself, allowed me to break the rules," she told Self. She added: "I want to put out a piece of work that I'm truly proud of, start to finish," she says. "My last album was cool. There were some incredible songs on there. But I feel like a lot of them weren't true to who I am as an artist."
