Demi Lovato revealed to her fans that she has not been concerned with dieting. In fact, she has shared her message loud and clear in an educational and empowering way.
Earlier this week, an Instagram user posted Lovato’s photo leaving the gym, tagged her and captioned it with an offer, “hey demi dm me so we can discuss a diet plan for you,” @selenuer wrote.
Responding to the body-shamer, which was captured by the website The Whisp, Demi wrote: “I actually am choosing not to diet and fall back into unhealthy behaviors at the risk of losing my sanity or mental health but thank you for the offer! Super sweet.”
Her answer could be considered sarcastic, but the heart emoji that she concluded the post with seems to be suggesting that she was being genuine.
Lovato has always been open about her struggles with bulimia and drug abuse.
In March, a headline commented on her “fuller” body size. She responded by posting a series of Instagram stories about the dangers of diet culture. She wrote, “I am more than my weight. 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 OK to write headlines about people’s body shapes.”
In July 2018, she was hospitalized after a near-fatal overdose in her home. Later, she underwent rehabilitation.
The pop start then dedicated herself to working out as part of her recovery, which included regular boxing and MMA sessions at Unbreakable Performance Center in L.A. In 2017, she said she finds exercising “therapeutic.” Lovato added, “I feel the most confident when I’m in the gym — whenever I’m training, whether it’s boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu.”
