![Jazmine Sullivan on Her Weight: 'I'm Big! Now Carry On'](https://www.essence.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/images/2014/10/14/_recording-artist-jazmine-sullivan-attends-the-2014-v-103-for-sisters-only-at-georgia-world-congress-center.jpg)
Jazmine Sullivan has a body-positive message for her fans, and it comes in the form of an Instagram post.
“Real quick y’all… IM BIG!!!! #nowcarryon #sheesh,” the “Forever Don’t Last” singer said on Instagram last night. “My weight fluctuates depending on what I decide to put down my throat that week. If anything I’d hope that whatever u see in me serves as a reflection and inspires u to love or change certain things abt YOUR life.”
The bold post accompanied a pic of the singer’s New York concert from earlier this week. She goes on to say that she doesn’t want her fans putting her on a pedestal—she’s just taking it day by day like the rest of us. For now, her number one priority is developing that powerhouse voice.
The post comes only a few weeks after she opened up to blogger Necole Bitchie about a previous abusive relationship. She found the strength to leave, and now, she said, when she looks in the mirror, she sees only a beautiful woman. And from her Instagram post, it’s looking like she wants her fans to see the same things in themselves.
“ALLS I’m saying is I love u regardless and want u to spend ur day being happy and growing as an individual,” she wrote.
