Summary
- Demi Lovato continues to manage her eating disorder, viewing it as a lifelong battle.
- She no longer seeks perfect healing but strives for body acceptance.
- Lovato attributes early food issues to childhood attention shifts.
Demi Lovato has shared an update on her lifelong journey with eating disorders, stating she does not consider herself fully healed. Instead, she focuses on a place of acceptance, acknowledging that food will likely remain a manageable battle throughout her life. Lovato discussed how attention shifts in her childhood, following her sister's birth, contributed to early coping mechanisms involving binge eating.
Her experiences as a teenager led to anorexia and subsequently bulimia, prompting her to seek treatment at age 18. Lovato's recent 'It's Not That Deep Tour' served as a significant part of her healing process. Despite initial anxieties about perceived weight gain, she found that audiences still connected with her music, reinforcing that her worth is not tied to her physical appearance.
Lovato emphasizes that her value, and the love she receives from her husband and family, is not dependent on her body. She proudly acknowledges her progress in recovery, prioritizing being a good human above all else.
