Accept Yourself
Lovato feels their best "in the bathtub w no makeup, no extensions, no lashes…. Just me in my purest form. I don't always feel comfortable in my skin/body so I'm beyond grateful that in these moments, when I'm most vulnerable I can feel beautiful & accept myself as is," the singer penned in a recent Instagram post, along with a photo taken from the bathtub.
Celebrate Your Stretch Marks
In 2020, Demi inspired fans, painting their stretch marks with glitter to honor their eating disorder recovery. "In honor of my gratitude for the place I'm in today, this was a lil shoot I did by myself in quarantine this summer when I wanted to celebrate my stretch marks instead of being ashamed of them. I started wearing actual glitter paint on my stretch marks to celebrate my body and all of it's features (whether society views them as good OR bad) My stretch marks aren't going away so might as well throw a lil glitter on em' amiright? Also let this be a reminder to anyone who doesn't think it's possible: IT ACTUALLY IS YOU CAN DO IT. I BELIEVE IN YOU. This year was tough.. be gentle on yourself if you slip up and remember to get right back on track because you're WORTH THE MIRACLE OF RECOVERY I LOVE YOU," Demi wrote.
You Can Recover
Demi has suffered many setbacks in life, but has always been able to get back up again. "It's going to be okay. No matter how hard your rock bottom is, you can rise above it and you can come back," they said on an appearance with On Air With Ryan Seacrest.
Embrace Your Body Type
Demi suggests celebrating your body. "I'm not naturally super thin. I have an athletic body. I just have to embrace that. There are days when it's hard to, but more and more, there are days where I'm actually proud of my body," Demi told Complex.
Feel Comfortable in Your Skin
"Had to film a sex scene today. My first one!" Demi wrote alongside a recent photo, wearing black lingerie. "I had a little anxiety going into it but the cast and crew were so professional and easy to work with, it calmed me down immediately. Then, I thought about how proud I am for being able to feel comfortable enough in my skin to do that. I rarely ever showed my arms before.. now I'm in this!! (Granted, it barely shows anything BUT STILL) I don't always feel good in my skin, so when I do, AND I feel sexy enough to post – I do just that! It's important to celebrate the little wins. Yay for this random burst of body confidence and yay for awkward hilarious sex."
