How Does Lady Gaga Feel About Her 25-Pound Weight Gain? 5 Weird Fan Questions Answered by Wetpaint Entertainment

Lady Gaga told fans she recently gained about 25 pounds (thanks to her dad’s irresistible Italian food), and though she’s trying to drop the extra weight, she’s not sweating her fuller-figured look.

In a chat with iHeartRadio host Elvis Duran, the pop superstar explained, "I really don't feel bad about it, not even for a second. I have to be on such a strict diet constantly. It's hard because it's a quite vigorous show, so I tend to bulk up, get muscular, and I really don't like that. So I'm trying to find a new balance."

As a result of the ridiculous negative press related to her weight gain, Gaga has launched “A Body Revolution 2013.” On September 25 she posted these photos of herself in her underwear to her social networking site, writing, “Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15. But today I join the BODY REVOLUTION. To Inspire Bravery.”

“BREED some m$therf*cking COMPASSION,” she adds.

Go go, Gaga!
