Demi Lovato is the November cover girl for
Teen Vogue – in this issue, Lovato reveals she is not going to sacrifice her
mental health to have the perfect body
Here is how the 21-year-old singer and X
Factor judge puts it;
On
self-acceptance:
“I don’t have the body of a model or Barbie.
My main thing about being in the spotlight with my fans is; I want to be real
to them. I have my problem areas, but I’m happy in my skin right now. I’m not
going to sacrifice my mental health to have the perfect body.”
On
learning to speak up for herself:
“You’ve gotta be honest with people around
you and honest with yourself. When you’re having a rough day, be like, ‘I don’t
want to talk about this, but I need to get it off my chest.’ If you have a
secret—secrets make you sick.”
