Demi Lovato continues to soar after her 2018 overdose.
Lovato is now coming clean about her challenges that led to that near-fatal overdose.
Lovato opens up to Ashley Graham that an eating disorder and exercise sent her spiraling.
Lovato shared, I don’t have to be in a one-piece leotard on stage, because I’m tired of running myself into the ground with workouts and extreme dieting, that I thought the past few years was recovery from an eating disorder when it actually was just completely falling into.
Lovato also said, I honestly think that’s kinda what led to everything happening over the past year was just me thinking I found recovery when I didn’t, and then living this kind of lie and trying to tell the world I was happy with myself when I really wasn’t.
Lovato concluded, Someone needs to stand up for people that don’t naturally look that way. I had to work my ass off every day in the gym, six days a week, to maintain that figure and it’s just like, that led me only one way and I don’t want to go down that path again. I’m not willing to destroy my mental health to look a certain way anymore.
