Demi Lovato is confident — and she’s not sorry about it!
On Thursday, the singer, 27, showed off her unedited body in a sexy leopard-print bikini snap on Instagram. The image, which was taken during her summer getaway to Bora Bora, saw Lovato looking over her shoulder as she wades in knee-deep water while featuring her backside.
Though Lovato appeared to embrace her body in the steamy shot, the star revealed it actually took a lot for her to post the snap without editing her appearance, as she has a “fear” of exposing the cellulite and imperfections of her body to the world.
Lovato even admitted that the fear has prompted her to alter previous bikini photos from her Bora Bora vacation, but said that she realized she was tired of attempting to live up to unrealistic standards of beauty.
“This is my biggest fear. A photo of me in a bikini unedited. And guess what, it’s CELLULIT!!!!” she wrote. “I’m just literally sooooo tired of being ashamed of my body, editing it (yes the other bikini pics were edited – and I hate that I did that but it’s the truth) so that others think I’m THEIR idea of what beautiful is, but it’s just not me.”
“This is what I got,” Lovato proudly stated. “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.”
