When Georgi Phipps lost 63kg, she was excited to share her transformation with family and friends, but it wasn’t the reaction she hoped for.
“Adele was viewed by the plus-size community as a role model. When she lost weight, she was seen as having sold out.
Adele was met with an explosive social media backlash when she unveiled her weight loss earlier this year. Picture: Instagram“Even when I came off steroids in mid-2013, poor eating habits, such as having huge bowls of pasta and packets of biscuits, had become the norm,” she said. “My GP agreed that a sleeve gastrectomy, where 75 per cent of the stomach is removed, was the best option for me.”Other social media users pointed out that Adele has been criticised both before and after losing weight. Picture: TwitterIn May 2018, after months of medical tests and psychological evaluations, Ms Phipps had her surgery.
Georgi first began to put on weight in 2012 when she was prescribed high-strength steroids for fibromyalgia. Picture: Georgi PhippsShe said some people referred to her surgery as “cheating” and was judged for not losing the weight “naturally”.
