When people think about Demi Lovato, a lot of titles may come to mind. She is a singer, a performer, an actress, an advocate, and a champion of mental health, among other things. Demi has had quite a story and shares it with the public in hopes of inspiring them to continue to fight in times of struggle.

In my opinion, and the opinion of many, Demi is the kind of person we need in the spotlight. On top of all of this, she is also a body positivity promoter. The struggles she has faced include the way in which she saw herself. The need to be perfect led her down a dangerous road of drug abuse and eating disorders when she was younger.

Now that she has reached out for help and has encouraged others to do the same, Demi is a strong and healthy woman. She takes fans on a journey through her recovery in her documentary titled "Simply Complicated" as well as through a therapy session before her concerts. She admits that, like most women, she doesn't like what she sees in the mirror every day. However, she loves herself enough to know that everyone has bad days.

Watching Demi's journey to health in the spotlight is what young girls — and people everywhere — need to witness. She frequently posts about her gym sessions and seems to try pretty much any sport. She eats healthy but doesn't stress herself out about it (as shown in a recent tweet where she had pizza night with her friends and did so without guilt). Balance is key.

Demi lets fans know that it is OK not to be skinny — skinny does not always equal healthy. She embraces the body she has and makes sure to take very good care of herself. I think that needs more recognition. In her industry, that vulnerability is so hard to come across.

And if you can't see how hard Demi Lovato has worked in her recovery and her journey to self-love, she doesn't really care. She never needed your opinion anyway!
