Sy’Rai Smith has shared about the perks of being a celebrity’s child, and all the unfair criticizes she had to bear. She also had pressures with body image and shared about her weight loss journey with The Real that she got compared to her own mother, who is small in terms of her weight and felt like an outsider.
She said,
“Sometimes it was a little bit difficult because seeing my mom dress a certain way or wear certain things, or when she was on the carpet or anything like that, it was kind of difficult because ei was like, ‘Why am I not that way? ‘Why am I not that size and why was I made the way I was made? And sometimes I would feel a little sad or feel like she was embarrassed of me.”
Then she revealed that her mother never pressured her to lose weight. Instead, she was always reminded of her beauty both inside and out. She shared her mother is her biggest cheerleader and is very appreciative of the support and love she received from social media.
She shared that her health issues were the reason for her weight loss, saying, “I just decided to really take my health seriously so I changed my mindset, changed my mentality and I knew that being in the size or the body that I was in, I knew my life wasn’t going to be as long... I just knew that living my purpose, I wouldn’t be able to live in that body.”
As she began to lose some weight, she talked about how she felt jealous at times, comparing herself to an ideal image standard despite her progress. She said, “It wasn’t easy to look at myself and then I grow up in an era where a lot of young women compare themselves to another woman on social media. I'm a victim of that, I get very jealous and very insecure when I look at other women and I know my body has been through a lot and I always have to remind myself of that. The scars I have the stretch marks that I have... it’s for a purpose... but I do feel a little pressure.”
She added, “people have eyes on me at all times...I did feel pressure to quickly do it or maneuver to kind of form a little Instagram body, but that’s not normal.”
Sy’Rai has shared a video on social media showing her impressive weight loss journey in a series of photos slideshow where she showed her before and after results. Many people supported her and gave her words of applause. Her mother also commented, “Nobody truly knows what she’s been through. So blessed and overjoyed to see her healthy and happy.”
