Los Angeles, California - Lizzo credits her boyfriend for helping her think about weight loss in a new light.

While appearing on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast on Monday, the Juice singer spoke about boyfriend Myke Wright and her own altered perspective on "losing" – or "releasing" – weight.

"My man, he's so funny. He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I lost five pounds,' and he was like, 'Where did it go?'" she recounted.

"I was mad at him, I was like, 'Why would he say that?' but he was like, 'Where did it go?'"

The About Damn Time artist went on to say that she didn't want to "lose anything" in her health journey but rather wanted to "win."

"I want to be very intentional about the words that come out of my mouth because there's young people who are watching me, and they're experiencing what I'm putting into the world," she said.

"They're applying it to their own experience and their own life just like I did when I was a kid."

Lizzo explained that, for her whole life, she had seen how the media treated those who gained and lost weight. She noted that this had affected her own "brain chemistry" around the topic.

"Be careful with your words because it can affect somebody in ways you don't even know," the pop star said.

"Even me releasing the weight has affected people and I take that seriously. I take that responsibility," she added.

"And because of that, I want to transmute it into something that makes people feel comfortable and less afraid of it."
