What makes Demi Lovato stand out in an industry flooded with pop princesses and “Insta-famous” celebrities is her complete transparency. The singer knows she has flaws and, rather than try to hide them, embraces them and gets them out in the open.
The singer took to Instagram to share a photo of herself in a bikini, with the intent of inspiring others to love themselves, regardless of perceived flaws.

She captioned the photo, “No filter no edit, love your body the way it is ?,” spreading messages of positivty that she’s learned over the years.
Last month, Lovato celebrated her fifth year of sobriety after her struggles with drugs and alcohol.
The 24-year-old discussed some of her troubles at the 2017 Teen Choice Awards, as well as her decisions to become sober.
“It feels amazing,” she said to the crowd. “All I’ve been doing is focusing on bettering myself. It’s been quite the journey, but it’s well worth it.”
The singer clearly has an impressive physique, no matter what her level of sobriety, but it has been through her confidence in herself that she’s been able to overcome so many of life’s obstacles.
“It’s all about self love. Tell yourself you’re beautiful daily,” she said. “Be gentle with yourself. Eat carbs without guilt and remember that life is too short to worry about what others think!!”
The self love seems to have a positive impact on the singer, regularly posting impressive photos of herself on social media.
Perhaps even more important than the work she’s done on herself, Lovato has also been an inspiration to others when it comes to finding inner beauty, so much so that Time listed her as one of the most influential people of 2017.
“Demi is using her hard-won wisdom to benefit others. After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, instead of hiding it she partnered with Be Vocal, a campaign devoted to getting people to speak up about mental illness and the stigma around it,” Arianna Huffington said of the performer in the issue.
Huffington added, “She has also been a public role model, unashamedly chronicling her struggles with substance abuse (she is now five years sober) and eating disorders. And having been bullied as a child, Demi has taken up the cause to protect other children. Demi Lovato is a remarkably talented artist and performer. But her courage, honesty and willingness to use her own experiences to help others are what make her a true star.”
