People are marveling at Adele's weight loss, but others are outraged at the fat-shaming

Singer Adele astounded her fans with her weight loss, but others were angered by the comments that they perceived as "fat-shaming" those who had trouble with their weight.

Adele celebrated her birthday by posting a photograph of herself to her Instagram account and her more than 35 million followers. Many praised her for her weight loss, which she had previously discussed in an interview with Vogue in 2016.

"I was trying to get some stamina for my tour, so I lost a bit of weight," Adele said.

"Now I fit into normal, off-the-shelf clothes," she added, "which is a really big problem for me!"
