This is so brave!
Demi Lovato posted an unedited bikini photo to Instagram and said, quote, “I’m just literally sooooo tired of being ashamed of my body. I want this new chapter in my life to be about being authentic to who I am.”
She admits to posting edited photos in the past, but says, “I want this new chapter in my life to be about being authentic to who I am rather than trying to meet someone else’s standards.”
Lovato has struggled with an eating disorder and drug addiction in the past and is now in recovery.
She adds, quote, “Just so everyone’s clear . . . I’m not stoked on my appearance BUT I am appreciative of it and sometimes that’s the best I can do. “I hope to inspire someone to appreciate their body today too. #nationalcelulliteday #celluLIT”
