Kelly Clarkson on body shaming: 'We are who we are'

'Heartbeat Song' sensation Kelly Clarkson has spoken out about body shaming and confessed that she is learning to accept that we are who we are, and we need to embrace that. 

During an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the songstress explained that she tries to cut herself some slack because otherwise it's just a constant internal struggle of beating herself up, and she wants to find a sense of peace where she can be active or indulge and be fine with either end of that spectrum:

"I think what hurts my feelings for people is when I'll have a meet and greet after the show and a girl whose, like, bigger than me will be in the meet and greet and be like, 'Oh, God!' And they'll say, 'If they think you're big I must be so fat to them.' It's like, you just are who you are. We are who we are—whatever size. It doesn't mean that we're gonna be that forever. "

She went onto add: "Sometimes we're more fit. Like, especially me. I'm such a creative person that I yo-yo. Sometimes I'm more fit and I get into kickboxing hardcore. And then sometimes I don't and I'm like, 'I'd rather have wine'."
