Lady Gaga has put on a great amount of weight. The usually slim and trim star has a lot more curves now since she's gained 25 pounds.

Fans and even fellow celebrities commented on Gaga's plumper figure. Kelly Osbourne stated that the mother monster could be pregnant.

 The 26-year-old entertainer explained that her love of pasta and pizza is the one to blame for the weight gain. However, her reason didn't stop others from making harsh remarks. After being scrutinized for being less than the standard "perfection" the mother monster speaks out on the emotional toll it has taken on her.

"Thank to my fans who love me no matter what, and know the meaning of real beauty & compassion. I really love you," tweeted the gracious singer. Many celebrities have developed low-self esteem and even chronic mental disorders after being tremendously criticized by the press for their physical appearance.

Gaga also uploaded a photo of a Marilyn Monroe meme that supports positive self-image. The post read, "To all the girls that think you're ugly because you're not a size 0, you're the beautiful one. It's society who's ugly."

Of course any Lady Gaga statement has to be bold. The "Born this Way" singer did not just stop at the tweets, she shot back at her critics with fashion. On Saturday, Gaga donned an outrageous oversized pink and blue dress in Paris. The balloon-like ensemble shaped Gaga as a fuller sized woman, giving her much more hip and arms than she actually has. The wacky dress almost looked like a paper cutout. It was a blatant dig at the press for making such a big hype over her body size. Gaga finished off her look with kooky two-tone glasses and blue sky-high platform lace-up boots.

Even though she is comfortable in her own skin, Gaga is dieting to get back into her usual slender shape. "I'm dieting right now, because I gained, like, 25 pounds," Gaga told radio host Elvis Duran. "And you know 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."

Gaga was most likely overindulging while in Amsterdam. Not only did she enjoy the "herbal delights" the city has to offer, sources are claiming that her massive alcohol intake also has something to do with her weight gain. "Alcohol sugars can only be stored as fats. Whereas most sugars can be used as fuel and whatever is left over is stored," nutritionist Majid Ali told RadarOnline. "So all that drinking adds up as fat pretty quickly, no matter what the rest of her diet is like."
