Demi Lovato knows how to remind herself she is beautiful no matter what anyone says.
The 24-year-old posted a thigh selfie to empower not only herself but her fans. "I don't have a thigh gap and I'm still beautiful the way I am #recovery #selflove #EVERYbodyisbeautiful," she captioned her beach photo.
On the same day, Demi, who has been very open about her battle with eating disorders [2], also posted a series of tweets explaining she still struggles with body image issues, but is continuously dealing with them and reminding herself she's gorgeous just the way she is [3].
Guess what, I got stretch marks and cellulite and I'm totally cool with it. 💁🏻

Look in the mirror and tell yourself how beautiful you are as many times as you need to until you believe it. 💗 #selflove [5]

Sometimes when I'm having bad body image issue days, I remind myself that I'd rather live in freedom from my eating disorder than worry

about what people think about my body. I am more than a number and a jean size. Fuck yeah!
