Kelly Clarkson Shares Insight Into Her Health and Weight-Loss Journey

The “Breakaway” singer explained how she discussed her plans to move across the country with NBC, the network that airs her show.

“‘I’m not trying to sound ungrateful, I just can’t stay here anymore for my mental health; for me and my kids,'” Kelly recalled telling network executives. “They weren’t doing well either. For the past few years, I’d just been showing up and smiling and doing what I’m supposed to do, but you can only compartmentalize so long until you break.”

It turns out, being open to change has its perks.

“To be able to come into season five feeling good and knowing my kids feel good—and the dust has settled,” she continued, “Season five is my first season to actually enjoy every minute of it.”
