“Never said I was a model”

Selena Gomez recently got candid about her recent weight gain, and the health issues that led to it.

She tackles it all in a new video shared to Twitter.

In the video, she explains, “When I take it, I tend to carry a lot of water weight, which is normal. When I don’t, I tend to lose weight.”

“I just want to speak and encourage people who are ashamed of what they’re going through, but no one knows the real story.”

Although it took a major toll on her mental health, Gomez admits she’s more focused on the bigger picture.

I just want people to know you’re beautiful and you’re amazing,” she added in the video.

“Yes, we can feel bad sometimes, but I prefer to be healthy and take care of myself. My medications are important and I believe they help me.”

She also admitted she was “not a model” and “never will” before wrapping up.

“I just want people to know you’re beautiful and you’re amazing,” Gomez urged her fans.

“Yes, we sometimes feel bad, but I’d rather be healthy and take care of myself. My medications are important and I believe they help me.”
