In her own words, Demi Lovato posed her "biggest fear" with a photo: The US singer posted a picture of herself in bikini on Instagram - unprocessed.
"It's cellulite !!!!", wrote the 27-year-old. "I'm literally sick of being ashamed of my body." The other bikini photos of her had been edited later. "I hate that I did it, but it's true."
She wanted to correspond to the ideal image of others, wrote Lovato. But that is not her. She wanted to be authentic in this new chapter of her life.

This is my biggest fear. A photo of me in a unedited bikini. And guess what, it's CELLULITE !!!! I'm 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) , but it's just not me. This is what I got. I want to meet someone else's standards. So here's me, unashamed, unafraid and proud to own a body that has been 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 / movie while not stressing myself with a strenuous workout schedule before 14 hours, 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 what 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 .. ♀️ So. 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 inspect your body today too. #Nationalcelulliteday #celluLIT
