A few weeks earlier, the mom-of-one documented herself trying on different skin-baring swimsuits and revealed the motivation behind her weight loss - which she achieved with the medication Mounjaro - wasn't superficial."My mom took these photos of me while I was packing for a trip. And the last photo I'm on the trip. This year is about self-care and self-love. Let's all appreciate our health, our families, our friends, and have the best year of our lives," the Emmy winner penned. "Moving forward with no regrets. Just love. Not to look hot which does feel fun and temporary. I did it to survive."Schumer noted she struggled with Cushing syndrome - which causes face puffiness due to increased cortisol levels - but after making lifestyle changes, the "disease has cleared."

Another reason people may have been suspicious by her influx of photos is that she deleted all of her old snaps on her profile. However, she denied allegations that she did so "because they were pre-me losing weight.""That's a narrative you created. I'm proud of how I've looked always," Schumer insisted. "I have been working to be pain-free, and I finally am. My endometriosis is better. My back is healing. I no longer have Cushing syndrome, so my face went back to normal. I am grateful to be strong and healthy, especially for my son.""Your Instagram is not your identity, it's a curation of what you want the world to see," she stated, "and I feel great, strong and beautiful and it's been fun sharing that."
