As Demi Lovato continues to move on from her past struggle with an eating disorder, she is speaking out once again on behalf of those who continue to battle.
“Having an eating disorder doesn’t show ‘strength.’ Strength is when you are able to overcome your demons after being sick and tired for so long,” Lovato tweeted. “Starving is not a ‘diet’ and throwing up isn’t something that only extremely thin men or women do. Eating disorders do not discriminate..Neither does any other mental illness. These are deadly diseases that are taking lives daily. So please, let’s be cautious of the words we use when discussing ED’s and other mental illnesses.”
In addition to her own eating disorder, Lovato has also struggled publicly with bipolar disorder and substance abuse.
