Elle King Posts A Lengthy Social Media Post

Elle posted a video on her Instagram on Wednesday, August 23rd, 2023, that shows her routine before a performance. First, she starts with skincare, then does soundcheck, has a foot race, and does a few exercises to warm up her lungs before singing. Then, in the caption, she goes into detail about her life postpartum. Elle King was pregnant in 2021, making it almost two years since she had her son, Lucky.

King openly states that she was 284lbs at 5’3 from pregnancy, and her body is still recovering. She then shares about how postpartum sent her into depression, heavily interfering with her day-to-day life.

“I fell into a very deep depression during my pregnancy. I also didn’t even realize how intense postpartum depression is and was until I very slowly began to crawl out. I felt trapped in my body. I couldn’t even sing.”

Very proud to announce the birth of our son, Lucky Levi Tooker. On Wednesday, September 1st at 12:06 pm, we welcomed 8 lbs 1 oz of absolute joy and love earthside. We are all healthy and feeling so blessed! Welcome to the world Lucky! pic.twitter.com/2DjuF0P8XO

Elle says she began to do small workouts, warming up her lungs, body, and spirit. She follows by encouraging others to do the same, to become their own champion. She suggests finding music to work out to and to ride a bike or go for a swim. King also inspires self-love, though it is something she has struggled to do in the past.

“I thought I wanted to lose weight, but it’s so much more. My BRAIN functions better on the days I move my body.”

Elle King keeps pushing forward despite having PCOS and being pre-diabetic. Nothing is getting in her way from keeping her body healthy, even if she is not at the weight she originally aimed for.
