Lost 45 kg and won 16 Grammy Awards: how the singer Adele, who until recently did not believe in herself, has changed. Impressive photos

British singer, songwriter, and poet, winner of 16 Grammy Awards, and the first musician to win Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year twice. Her iconic song Skyfall, which became the soundtrack to the James Bond film, won an Oscar and a Golden Globe. All this is about Adele, one of the most famous and successful singers in the world. It's hard to imagine that this legendary and gorgeous woman used to be a completely insecure, shy girl with many complexes.

Nowadays, probably no one remembers that Adele was 45 kilograms overweight. Being overweight, however, did not prevent her from reaching significant heights and winning the favor of a multi-million fan base. However, in 2019, the artist decided to completely change herself and her lifestyle, losing the same 45 kilograms. OBOZ.UA will tell you how the singer fought her insecurities and show you how she changed before and after her impressive weight loss.

It's hard to believe, but in her youth, Adele was a fan of the Spice Girls and Britney Spears. Did they influence the formation of her musical style? Hardly. Nevertheless, the singer still admits that she loves listening to pop tracks from the noughties.

Whether it was because she was overweight or for other reasons, Adele didn't believe in herself at all at the start of her career. She admitted that she didn't think she was beautiful or talented enough.

In 2008, Adele released her debut album "19". It became a huge success and went platinum in 18 countries. The singer won two Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist.

In 2011, Adele released her second album, 21. It became even more successful than the first, winning 6 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. And in 2015, the world saw the release of her album 25 – and another Grammy, this time with five statuettes.

In 2011, the singer became a wife, and in 2012, she became a mother of a son. Angelo became the greatest joy and happiness for the star, but his birth was accompanied by postpartum depression. Adele could not write songs and was sure that she would never return to the stage. Fortunately, the singer managed to put these thoughts out of her mind.

The next difficult episode in her personal life happened in 2019 when Adele divorced her husband. The singer admitted that she was disappointed in the institution of marriage, which she had believed in so strongly all her life.

"I used to take marriage very seriously. It seems that this is not the case now. I demonstrated disrespect for the institution of marriage when I got married and divorced almost immediately. I was amazed at how quickly everything happened," the singer said in an interview.

However, it was the divorce that prompted the star to start fighting her weight. She found comfort in sports, making it her real hobby. As a result, she lost 45 kg in two years.

"After the divorce, I was periodically subjected to terrible bouts of sadness. They literally paralyzed me, I couldn't control my own body. Then I noticed that I felt better in the gym. I started going there every day. It exercised my brain," the artist said.

Adele has had a huge impact on the music industry. Her sincere lyrics and emotional performances have inspired and still inspire millions of people around the world. Recently, Ukrainian TV presenter Anatoliy Anatolich drew attention to the story of the singer, who has been struggling with self-doubt all her life. He showed an eloquent video that shows how much the celebrity has transformed internally and externally.

"I didn't want to write a motivational text, but I will. We always have a chance. To become better, to reach the goal, to achieve the goal. It's trite, but don't give up. This is the simplest recipe. No matter how difficult it is. I love this artist. And I have never seen her like she was in the first shots. Here she is a conscious adult singer. Who is inspired by Britney. Anything is possible," Anatolich aptly captioned the photo.
