Singer Demi Lovato has responded to a body-shaming headline with a powerful message about body positivity. The 26-year-old singer took to her Instagram story to respond after a seeing the body shaming headline that noted she “appears to have a fuller figure,” reports JustJared.com.
“I AM MORE THAN MY WEIGHT,” Demi wrote, before opening up about the dangers of body commentary in the media. She continued, “Unlike the past, I’m not triggered, I’m not upset that someone wrote a headline about my ‘fuller figure’. I’m angry that people think it’s okay to write headlines about people’s body shapes. Especially a woman who has been so open about being in recovery from an eating disorder. I’m not upset for myself but for anyone easily influenced by the diet culture (sic).”

Lovato then went on to criticise similar stories that contribute to a “toxic way of thinking” and negative diet culture talk. “You are more than a number on a scale. And I am more than a headline about my body shape,” she concluded.
