Singer & songwriter Demi Lovato, who has battled bulimia and self-starvation, took to Instagram the other day to celebrate her curves and make peace with her eating disorder. Lovato posted a photo of herself in a skintight nude bodysuit and shared a fun fact about her body shape. She wrote alongside the photo:
“Fun fact: I never had boobs until I started eating what I wanted. My whole life I hated my small tittaayyys and then when I finally let go of my eating issues, I GOT THE BOOBS I WANTED!!! 😂😂 this is no push-up bra or boob-job y’all!!! IT’S ALL ME!! And you know what, they’re gonna change too!!! AND I’LL BE OKAY WITH THAT AS WELL!!”
Through the post, Lovato, who recently ended her engagement with actor Max Ehrich, showed off that she could cope with the eating disorder by focusing on the better results of it.
Then, the star stated that the changes in the body and appearance are lessons for humankind, and asked her 93 million followers if they have a story like hers:
“But let this be a lesson y’all.. our bodies will do what they are SUPPOSED to when we let go of trying to control what it does for us. Oh, the irony… 💞 Did you have a similar experience when making peace with your eating issues?? I’d love to hear!!!”
As fans may remember, Lovato had been battling bulimia since she began to binge eat when she was 9. In 2013, it was reported that the Disney star developed a sober-living facility because she tried to avoid returning to her eating disorder.
Regarding her struggle, back in February, Lovato spoke during an episode of ‘Pretty Big Deal’ podcast, hosted by plus-size model Ashley Graham:
“I thought the past few years was recovery from an eating disorder when it actually was just completely falling into it. And I just realized that maybe my symptoms weren’t as obvious as before, but it was definitely an eating issue.”
