You know how you put on “Hello” while walking down the street, feeling like a frickin’ queen or king of the universe, singing the lines out loud like there’s no tomorrow? This is what Adele’s vocal talent does to people—we become fearless.

But this time, it’s not her voice that has caught everyone’s attention. After the 32-year-old singer shared a b-day post thanking first responders for keeping everyone safe, everyone went nuts. The picture revealed her dramatic weight loss and a stunning body in a classic little black dress. But sometimes the internet is cruel, and the negative commentary started flooding in.

This is when Adele’s ex-personal trainer Pete Geracimo stepped in to defend her hard work on becoming happy and healthy. Let’s take a look at what Pete had to say in his post on Instagram down below.

Bored Panda contacted Pete for an interview, so scroll down to see what he had to say about Adele’s inspiring transformation.

This b-day pic of Adele posted on her Instagram caused a stir online

And people couldn’t stop criticizing the singer for her new slimmed-down look

But Adele’s ex-personal trainer stepped in to defend her transformation in this lengthy post

In an interview with Bored Panda, Pete said that the criticism Adele has received is “sadly all too common in the world today, so I felt compelled to remind those that no one should be criticized for achieving their goals, which for all my clients is about improving fitness and health, first and foremost for themselves.”

Pete believes that some people feel the need to spread their armchair negativity onto others “because they lack the drive and motivation to make positive changes themselves.” According to the professional trainer, “everyone’s definition of what healthy is or looks like is different and personal and it must be respected and cannot be compared to anyone else’s.”

When it comes to self-motivation to lose weight, Pete suggests having “little ‘reality checks.’” He commented: “I’m a big proponent of before and after photos. They help us to see changes that we tend to miss when we look at ourselves on a daily basis.” It gives that positive reinforcement and validation, which is proof that all hard work pays off. “Momentum builds and self-confidence rises and before you know it, you have reached your goal!”

Adele has long been both celebrated and criticized for her body which, for many, seemed like it didn’t match the unrealistic industry standards. Chanel’s designer Karl Lagerfeld has famously called the singer too heavy. Now that Adele has turned 32 and posted a picture of her stunning physique, theories that she could have shed 98 pounds have emerged.

In an opinion piece for CNN, research psychologist Peggy Drexler said that there’s never a good moment for a female mega-star to come out with a dramatic change in appearance.“There will always be criticism over kudos; there will always be chatter,” Peggy wrote.

But if there’s anything Adele truly needs, it’s “our empathy. It’s hard enough to come to terms with your own body as a woman not in the spotlight; for a woman who is, and whose weight has been a focus of that spotlight for so long, it might nearly be impossible.”

And more people showed their support for the English singer

"becoming happy and healthy" Bored Panda is surely going to get scolded for writing that. Despite medical science saying that being over-weight is generally not healthy.

Stille20

Actually medical science says being obese is not healthy. People who fall into the category of "overweight" actually tend to live longer. However, this is because muscle mass isn't taken into account when calculating who is defined as "overweight" and more muscle mass does tend to lead to longer life.

the IDEA that people react negatively to this is mind boggling to me. "I'm sorry but I liked you better before" - what's Adele supposed to do with such a comment? "oh no, I'm very sorry, random person from the internet, I am now going to gain all that weight back because you don't want me to be slimmer" People can be so terrible.

People need to stop people shaming , I wish I could lose 98 lbs so good for her ! Anyone whoโ€™s dealt with weight issues knows itโ€™s not easy and itโ€™s more then just exercise and eat right .

What the heck? You are not a true fan if you don't wish well to the very artist you claim to admire. Not a fan myself (I respect her for her great talent, but it's not really my scene), and even I am happy for her. Maybe, instead of letting the envy getting the better of you and comfortably sitting there criticising other people's achievements, you should take it as an example and motivation to get your a*s up and do something about it. The results are not instantaneous, but they're rewarding. Speaking from experience.

It's amazing that she lost all that weight, I'm truly proud of her, especially as having lost a lot of weight myself in the past, I know the struggle. However, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, I am also a bit sad. Because she was an inspiration to many people that you can be successful, and happy and gorgeous without having the impossibly thin and perfect body that all Hollywood women have. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy for her, obviously it's her right and she can do whatever makes her happy without asking anyone (especially me!). I'm just saying.. For me, it was comforting to see that it's ok to not be perfect, to have a little extra weight, so long as you are otherwise healthy and exercise regularly. I'm a couple of kilos above my ideal weight, and even though I exercise and eat healthily, I'm still self-conscious about my body :(

Daria B

4 years ago (edited) DotsCreated by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

Well, still the fact that she achieved all the success while overweight remains. So it's not really a let down. It only shows that you can invest in yourself to improve yourself. And by "improve", I don't mean aesthetics, I mean the way you feel within your own body, your only true and forever home.

Adele was a very elegant, very beautiful woman. Her new styling is, to me, anything but that. It has nothing to do with her weight loss. In the main photo she's overly tan and not well dressed. In none of the images do I see the happy, confident star. I think it's fantastic she is taking charge of her health.

I've never really understood why so many people are so interested in the lives of celebrities. They're random people you'll probably never meet. Why are so many people interested in their lives? I like a lot of bands where I know the names of most or all band members (Panic!, MCR, ect) and there are shows I like where I can name the (voice) actors/actresses for most characters, but I don't really feel the need to follow every moment of their lives.

When you are short , you want to be taller. When you have curly hair, you want straight hair. When you are a large person you want to be slimmer. Human nature is what it is. We always want something else. As long as Adele is doing this for herself and not because she feels out of place, particularly somewhere like LA. The aim is to feel good in your own skin no matter what you look like. I would be happy to have half her talent!!

Some people--pretty much all people--should mind their own business and not other people's. If a woman wants to lose weight and does so then she wanted to lose weight and did so. That is her choice, not the public's.

I've read a few comments on different sites about Adele's weight loss and nowhere did I see any posts that shamed/belittled her. They were all encouraging and full of praise. Maybe some ppl have expressed their negative opinions, but I'm sure it was a minority. I feel the medias nowadays are pushing the nastiness ahead in order to get reactions, because in all honesty, the majority of people ARE kind!!

Famous women get criticized for anything and everything - especially weight changes. She must feel awesome. I donโ€™t know her music, really, but she has an amazing voice. This took hard work no matter what she can buy to help her (trainer, interesting foods, etc.), I lost 20 lbs recently but have gained ten back in this stressful summertime hibernation. Sheโ€™s healthier and gorgeous. And folks criticizing her are getting ready to pounce on any photo of her that looks like sheโ€™s gained two pounds back. Makes me sick. You go girl!

Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy for her, obviously it's her right and she can do whatever makes her happy without asking anyone (especially me!). I'm just saying.. For me, it was comforting to see that it's ok to not be perfect, to have a little extra weight, so long as you are otherwise healthy and exercise regularly. I'm a couple of kilos above my ideal weight, and even though I exercise and eat healthily, I'm still self-conscious about my body :(

Well, still the fact that she achieved all the success while overweight remains. So it's not really a let down. It only shows that you can invest in yourself to improve yourself. And by "improve", I don't mean aesthetics, I mean the way you feel within your own body, your only true and forever home.

Adele was a very elegant, very beautiful woman. Her new styling is, to me, anything but that. It has nothing to do with her weight loss. In the main photo she's overly tan and not well dressed. In none of the images do I see the happy, confident star. I think it's fantastic she is taking charge of her health.

I've never really understood why so many people are so interested in the lives of celebrities. They're random people you'll probably never meet. Why are so many people interested in their lives? I like a lot of bands where I know the names of most or all band members (Panic!, MCR, ect) and there are shows I like where I can name the (voice) actors/actresses for most characters, but I don't really feel the need to follow every moment of their lives.

It's funny how people were harassing Lizzo for being big cuz it's unhealthy. But then someone like Adele decides to lose weight for healthy reasons and people are mad about it!! Ugh!

Good for her, making all this effort to change because she wanted to. But, have to say, if there hadn't been a caption with the photo first time I saw it, I would never have guessed who it was!

When you are short , you want to be taller. When you have curly hair, you want straight hair. When you are a large person you want to be slimmer. Human nature is what it is. We always want something else. As long as Adele is doing this for herself and not because she feels out of place, particularly somewhere like LA. The aim is to feel good in your own skin no matter what you look like. I would be happy to have half her talent!!

Some people--pretty much all people--should mind their own business and not other people's. If a woman wants to lose weight and does so then she wanted to lose weight and did so. That is her choice, not the public's.

A woman is supposed to be the size she decides to work for. If she was willing to put the effort into changing her size then YAY!!! It's not an easy or pleasant trip to make. Be who you are!

I've read a few comments on different sites about Adele's weight loss and nowhere did I see any posts that shamed/belittled her. They were all encouraging and full of praise. Maybe some ppl have expressed their negative opinions, but I'm sure it was a minority. I feel the medias nowadays are pushing the nastiness ahead in order to get reactions, because in all honesty, the majority of people ARE kind!!

Famous women get criticized for anything and everything - especially weight changes. She must feel awesome. I donโ€™t know her music, really, but she has an amazing voice. This took hard work no matter what she can buy to help her (trainer, interesting foods, etc.), I lost 20 lbs recently but have gained ten back in this stressful summertime hibernation. Sheโ€™s healthier and gorgeous. And folks criticizing her are getting ready to pounce on any photo of her that looks like sheโ€™s gained two pounds back. Makes me sick. You go girl!

so many unreal people. iam happy for her, she did the right thing i wish my best friend would be as strong as she is, unfortunly she cant afford an personal trainer. Iam glad people are achieving things they want to, no one has the right to judge over others, you only allowed to judge yourself. One should be happy for another and not striving to discredit.

I'm happy for her, but it'd be easier to think it was just for her health if she wasn't hanging out with people like Nicole Richie.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that Quarantine has made people bored and meaner. Some folks need to discover the wonderful world of video games to keep themselves busy. And if you have never really played...I envy you. Being able to experience some legendary games for the first time again....sigh....

I only hope it was a healthy way to lose weight. If she wants to be thinner or fatter it's her problem.

What a funken world most of people are good for nothing, then she turns from a overweight girl person work hard and you dare to criticize her, when you know you are good for absolutely NOTHING! Take your double standards and shoven up your 7. She was amazing and now she look lovely.

Good for her. I'm desperately trying to lose weight for many, many years. I know what it's like to be overweight but I don't know what it's like to be slim. I envy her but in a good way.

You know what it is. That picture isn't the most flattering. It makes her face appear gaunt. If you look at the other pictures, she looks fantastic and healthy.

Why are people criticizing her for being healthier? And what's all this c**p about her looking better before? I think she looked gorgeous then , and gorgeous now.

Why do we always have to judge people on how they look? It's her talent that is more important. She could go around with a paper bag over her head and dressed in a sack and it would have no bearing on her voice at all. I am seriously fed up with people.

She's probably healthier now, but it has made her look old. Like when Al Sharpton lost all that weight.
