Body positive and proud
Demi Lovato is every girl struggling with body positivity and self-acceptance. A little confused, a little adorable, but working really hard.
As per the People, on an Instagram post she uploaded on September 5, Demi showed off an unedited picture of her beautiful body in a leopard-print bikini as she looks over her shoulder while wading in knee-deep water.
Though Demi, who’s been battling with addiction, mental illness, and disordered eating, appeared to embrace her body in the steamy shot, the star revealed the struggle she experienced before posting the unedited snap, as she has a “fear” of exposing the cellulite and imperfections of her body to the world.
While she spoke about her fear of “exposing” her body with the cellulite showing on her thighs, Demi did turn up on the other side of the struggle. “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,” Demi wrote. Many of her followers even expressed support to the singer.
