Kelly Clarkson Reveals She Started Weight Loss Journey Because Of Scary Diagnosis!

Kelly Clarkson slimmed down her figure for reasons beyond vanity.

During Tuesday’s episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, guest Kevin James complimented her appearance — which opened a whole can of worms! Kelly has obviously lost a lot of weight recently! And his comment caused her to reveal her new, smaller figure is actually the result of a scary diagnosis she received a few years back:

“I was told I was pre-diabetic. That’s literally, like, what happened. And I was like, well, I wasn’t shocked. I was a tiny bit overweight. But I wasn’t shocked by it.”

OMG! We’re so glad that she took action and put her health first! But it sounds like it took a while… She continued:

“They were like, ‘You’re pre-diabetic. You’re right on the borderline.’ I was like, ‘But I’m not there yet.’ And then I waited two years and then did, however, move into the, ‘Okay, I’ll do something about it.’”

Must have been easier after dropping that 180 lbs of dead weight first, right? See her talk about the change (below):

She really does look amazing, and even more so because she’s healthy! Earlier this month, The Voice judge alluded to a medical issue while talking about her weight loss with People, but shared that she did it without Ozempic! Kudos to her!
