Demi Lovato Claims She Has Always Had An Eating Disorder

By Ikam Acosta

Demi Lovato claims she has always had an eating disorder and has never had a normal relationship with food. She has been bringing up the eating disorder topic since first coming out about it over a year ago, hoping it would free her from her overeating and starvation cycle.

Demi claims she started overeating at age 8, when she was a binge eater. She then tried the starvation diet approach after being harassed by other girls in school for being too heavy. Demi recalls,

"When I turned 12 I was bullied in school and they called me fat. I went from being an over-eater to stopping eating and I lost about 30 lbs. From then n, I continued under-eating, but my weight plateaued. [Then] I started throwing up to lose weight."

Demi has since come out about her disorder and sought treatment for her anorexia and bulimia. She admits her recovery will be a long-term process and needs all the help she can get. Hoping she could help other girls facing the same situation, Demi commented,

"There's definitely a temptation- every meal I fight it. It's an addiction and I'm going to have to fight it for the rest of my life. There's no cure and I may mess up, but I want to be a better role model for my fans and my younger sister."

Have you or anyone you know ever suffered from an eating disorder?
