Demi Lovato needed all her bravery to show off her body just the way it is, without editing the picture at all! The singer took to social media with one goal in mind – to use her voice and example to empower others and judging by the positive reaction she got to her unedited bathing suit picture, she succeeded.
Of course, it was not easy at all and Demi confessed that she was really scared to do it.
But she is well known for being raw and open with her fans, which is why this was just another step towards making her message even clearer.
It looks like Demi wanted to get out of her comfort zone and just stop being ashamed with her body.
In the caption, she wrote: ‘This is my biggest fear. An unedited photo of me in a bikini. And guess what, it is CELLULITE!!!! 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.’
She went on to say that ‘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. So here’s me, unashamed, unafraid and proud to own a body that has fought through so much and will continue to amaze me when I hopefully give birth one day. Anyway, here’s me, RAW, REAL! And I love me. And you should love you too!’

This is my biggest fear. A photo of me in a bikini unedited. And guess what, it’s CELLULIT!!!! 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. 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. So here’s me, unashamed, unafraid and proud to own a body that has fought through so much and will continue to amaze me when I hopefully give birth one day. It’s such a great feeling to be back in tv/film while not stressing myself with a strenuous workout schedule before 14 hour days, or depriving myself from a real birthday cake rather than opting for watermelon & whip cream with candles because I was terrified of REAL cake and was miserable on some crazy diet shit. Anyway, here’s me, RAW, REAL! And I love me. And you should love you too! Now back to the studio.. I’m working on an anthem.. 🙏🏼🙌🏼🤷🏻♀️ also. Just so everyone’s clear.. I’m not stoked on my appearance BUT I am appreciative of it and sometimes that’s the best I can do. I hope to inspire someone to appreciate their body today too. 💗 #nationalcelulliteday #celluLIT 🔥🔥🔥
And that was not all! Aside from inspiring many women out there, she also revealed that she was also ‘working on an anthem’ in the studio.

Later on, she took to her IG stories to add: ‘Literally shaking still…that was so hard for me to post. But wow… so blown away by the love and support.’
