Demi Lovato is ready for any body insecurities that come her way.
The singer, 25, said Monday that she decided to share photos of her cellulite and stretch marks last week to fight through a vulnerable moment.
“I was on Instagram and I started comparing myself to these Instagram models and I just thought to myself, someone needs to show my fans and anybody that’s looking at my account that what you see isn’t always what’s real,” Lovato told E! News. “And so, I decided to embrace my flaws and — I don’t even like to call them flaws, it’s just a part of who I am — and show the world that I’m imperfect, but that’s what makes me beautiful.”
In a series of four photos on her Instagram story, Lovato posted that she has “no thigh gap” and “extra fat” along with pictures of her cellulite and stretch marks.
After a long battle with disordered eating and bulimia, Lovato said in January that she’s done with dieting and “food shaming” herself, though she added to PEOPLE it’s still a tough journey to fully embracing her body.
“It’s a daily battle. Some days I feel great and some days I don’t feel great. And sometimes it’s periods of times,” she told PEOPLE. “I stopped dieting and have gained a little weight so it’s been a struggle but at the same time, I’m happier because I’m not restricting myself from certain foods and I’m no longer food shaming myself.”
