“For me, I was diagnosed with Lyme earlier this year, and I definitely like lost a couple lbs. And people’s reaction of like, ‘You’re losing weight,’ you know, like they’re congratulating you,” Schumer described. “And I’m like, it’s really just about my health.”

She says that the media focuses on people’s weight, not their health. “My problem with it is that focus, that emphasis on weight. It’s just from the media,” the comedian said. “It’s from what we’re watching and it’s all outward and it’s so negative. And I really reject that.”
