Gaga shuts down body shaming attacks: “I’m proud of my body”

Thirty year old pop superstar Lady Gaga was the victim of body shaming after performing at the 51st Super Bowl half-time show for wearing a crop top that showed her "muffin top" and a "beer gut", according to critics.

Gaga took to Instagram to combat her critics and wrote a very powerful message attached to a photo of her half-time show outfit that will help all women struggling with body image. "I heard my body is a topic of conversation so I wanted to say, I'm proud of my body and you should be proud of yours too. No matter who you are or what you do. I could give you a million reasons why you don't need to cater to anyone or anything to succeed. Be you, and be relentlessly you. That’s the stuff of champions. Thank you so much everyone for supporting me. I love you guys. Xoxo, gaga" (Instagram)

The nasty comments made toward Gaga just goes to show that people will try to tear down anyone to bring themselves up, even the most famous people in the world.

If you are struggling with body shaming don't listen to your critics, listen to yourself. Change your body because you want to, not because someone else wants you to.

As Gaga said, "Be you, and be relentlessly you. That’s the stuff of champions."
