SZA talked about her struggle with weight, saying:
“I’ve consistently been dressing in baggy clothes because I was heavy. I was 200 pounds, but that’s not really public knowledge. I was a lot bigger, so wearing baggy clothes [was] not so much as a ’90s thing, it was what was comfortable and what fit.”
The singer came close to hitting 200 pounds on the scale due to her eating habits.
The vocalist weighed 190 pounds and was dressed in a loose t-shirt and socks for her debut performance.

“Really don’t know a name for it lmao no red meat (mostly fish ) no dairy no wheat no sugar.. high veggie ..complex carbs only (squash , avocado . sweet potato ect) hella water dassii.”
SZA also enjoys outdoor workouts for both her physical and mental well-being. She told Billboard:
“I hit the forest, or I hit the park, or I do a lot of walks, a lot of exercises. Sitting still and meditating is a component for me, but it’s not my key component. I need to be outside amongst trees, and among anything nature-based. I’ll drive really far to get there and I don’t mind.”

It’s not about how they think you should be, look, feel, do, vibe, grow, or evolve. It’s about how YOU see you. How you feel you.
