Demi Lovato is only 25 years old, but she's been through a lot in her life. The singer is very open about having dealt with an eating disorder, how she's given up dieting, and now she's speaking candidly on what she does to keep herself grounded. Besides hitting her favorite gym, the Unbreakable Performance Center, where she loves to practice jiujitsu and enjoy other workouts, Demi is a fan of gratitude lists.

"I'll text with a friend, and we'll send each other four or five things we're grateful for and why," she told InStyle for her April 2018 cover shoot. When the interview took place, in January 2018, she was grateful for "my dogs, my friends, this gym. The ability to fly to New York within a couple of hours rather than having to drive there. The opportunity to be able to share my opinions and my story with you." Read on to get a glimpse at Demi's shoot, and read what else she had to say about her life now.

On Becoming the Role Model She Didn't Have Growing Up

  • "I grew up in the era of really, really skinny celebrities. That was the look. And it was cool to be seen partying. Drugs were glamorized, and when I was 12 or 13, nobody [I looked up to] was talking about mental illness. Nobody was talking about eating disorders. Nobody was talking about cutting. I wanted somebody for my little sister to look up to. I took on that role because I knew it was important."

  • "I'm not suffering because I'm alone. There were many years I was in a relationship and I wasn't learning about myself. Now I'm learning about what I like, what I need, and what I want."
  • "I'm very fluid, and I think love is love. You can find it in any gender. I like the freedom of being able to flirt with whoever I want."

  • "They show me their cuts . . . Sometimes I'll meditate afterwards. Sometimes I'll just kind of breathe. I used to sage myself. It's very heavy."
