In the past Demi Lovato has been called the “Fat Disney Girl,” and that has been affecting Demi’s life a lot recently. Many of her Tweets in Twitter have been related to how she is a size 2 and doesn’t understand why people would think she was anything but healthy.
Demi has been a great role model for young girls telling them that as long as they feel good then they have nothing to worry about! Demi has always been very open about the size and shape of her own body and has tried to get others to be the same.
But now people are getting more worried about Demi. In the picture above she looks SO tiny.
Along with tweeting the above picture, Demi also tweeted the following lyrics:
“I need you to know, I’m not through the night.. Some days I’m still fighting to walk towards the light.”
The song is “Courage” by Super Chick, and if you read the lyrics, it’s a heartfelt tune about the struggles of anorexia. Some more lyrics go like this:
“I told another lie today
And I got through this day
No one saw through my games
I know the right words to say
Like “I don’t feel well”
“I ate before I came”
Do you think Demi is ok?
If anyone you know suffers from an eating disorder please visit the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders website HERE for more information.

OH NO!!! I hope she isn’t anorexic
I liked Demi the way she was
I think Demi is fine!!!!!!!!!!! she mostly likely just the way she is standing!
she may have been twittering saying she’s a size 2! but she has twittered saying “6 o’ clock and I still haven’t eaten! I. NEED. FOOD. Ahhhhh!!!
10:32 PM Aug 5th from web” even though it was 11 day’s ago it proves she is eating! Demi not the type of person who would go anorexic!! beside’s anorexia is not about thinking your fat! it’s must more complex than that! and she love her fan too much I disappoint them by doing something like this! it’s just not demi!!!
Oh my gosh, SHE’S NOT ANOREXIC. For God’s sake, it’s just the way she posed that makes her look so skinny. I met her in person last week and went to her concert(9th row) and she looked perfectly normal. She’s NOT anorexic. People just have to keep finding flaws about all the stars, can’t you just give it a rest?
i hope shes ok..
look at her stomach its kinda creepy
I hope she’s okay too.
oh my god !! who ever said she were fat or overweight must be like blind
!! even though i don’t like her and i think shes really gay i have got to say she was not fat at all :S god some people need to sort thier heads out seriously ;/!
I hope she is ok I mean I dont like her but no one diserves to be sick
I just saw her in person. She’s fine. No anorexia. Geez. Can’t these Disney stars just live their lives without being called fat or anorexic. Imagine is she were to see this post. So sad. Post some real news.
I think she does look pretty skinny but look at how her arms are in the air and she is leaning back. and she has the same problem i do her hip bone sticks out, but i am NOT anorexic at all.
The thing about the lyrics is a little strange though…. =/
Yeah I met her 2 weeks ago and while she is skinny, she’s all around tiny, period. As in she’s REALLY REALLY REALLY short. Like the 12 year old girl behind me in meet and greet line was Demi’s height. So she probably is about her ideal weight when you take her shortness into consideration.
Obviously shes sucking her stomach in.
People are sooo cruel. She isn’t fat she is healthy. In Hollywood you are soo pressured to be a size zero and 105 pounds. She also is not anorexic. I have seen skinnier. Its the way she’s posing! Go Demi!!!
maybe it’s just because of the way she’s posing!!
i did the same pose and my hip bones were shown!! and i weight 114 pounds!
go demi u rock!
omg like demi lavato is notanerexic some poeple are just born being skimny
i think that she does. i have one myself and i immediately noticed when she put those lyrics. she also has put several other “ED” themed songs on her twitter but unless you are familiar with it, you won’t pick up on it. She actually tweeted “courage by superchick” atleast a month ago, before she ever typed the actual lyrics. All of the talk about “omg i havent eaten all day” or “oh i didnt even finish my bowl of oatmeal. SOO full’ is because she WANTS attention, people. She is crying for help. Remember the pictures showing she cuts herself? She was a fat little girl, and im sure she never wants that to return so she has turned into this obsession.
i hope someone picks up on the signs.
I hope she is not anorexic if she is she needs to gain weight she is not fat at all!!!!!!!She should not be so skinny that is really dangerous she could die and she is my favorite celebrity!:(
I highly doubt that she is. But why couldn’t she? Enough anorexic love their families but yet they still are mentally unable to move past this. Saying that she loves her fans too much? She doesn’t really owe you much, I imagine she rather keep healthy for her FAMILY not FANS! Besides, she’s had problems in the past for depressions, anorexica typically stems from that.
Everyone who is in denial should stop because she is totally anorexic.Now don’t get me wrong I love demi I think she is one of the best disney stars every,coming from the bottom of my heart but coming from a former anorexic I know this song better than I know myself. Only anoreixc girls listen to this song for thinspiration (inspiration to be thin) If she’s not then why would she put the lyric to that song down out of all of the songs in the world.
SEE THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU KEEP ON CALLING SOMEONE FAT!
Demi wasen’t FAT AT ALL! I’ve been trough this myself but my parents found out just at time so I could get help now I hope Demi can get help!!
She isn’t aneroxic, sorry idk how to spell it, she’s just sucking in her stomach….theres nothing wrong with her. I just met her today….she’s normal sized and REALLY nice!
wow, demi lovato is a skinny, messed up weirdo!! i mean, i luv her voice {AND SHOW} but its impossible to be this skinny and NOT have sumthing wrong with you!!!! Demi, GAIN SUM WEIGHT!!!!!!! <3
Demi’s alright!!! She eats normally and she’s NOT anorexic. Demi wouldn’t go anorexic! If she helpes who has an eating disorder, why would she HAVE an eating disorder! That pic has been take like 2 years ago, and Demi’s ALWAYS BEEN FINE!!!
OMFG!!!!! ITS JUST A BAD ANGLE, JEEZE PPL DO ANYTHING TO RUIN CELEBRITYS LIVES
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i support dems, she awesome and is perfectly fine w/ her body!!!!!!1
i’m sure she’s fine!
yeah, i’m pretty sure she’s not anorexic.
anorexia means she doesn’t eat…. and reportedly she went to lunch with joe and nick and ate… FOOD!
she is vegetarian now i think, so that might have an impact on her weight/ dress size?
she also talks about how she’s a really healthy eater, so if she is doing anything, i think it would include healthy eating habits.
chill out people. haha
fans, she’s ok. she’s been eating fine and she’s a great friend of mine so i would of guessed if she was’nt eating. you guys dont need to get worried about anything and shes healthy and fine so thank you but theres no need for everything.
my best friend has that body and she eats like a maniac. she’s fine
Evry other pic i see of her she looks amazing….she has thighs and embrace them so yup tht ws prob jst a bad angle or she sucking in her stomach or watevr! Leave the poor normal girl alone!! I mean @ 1 point she ws “fat” & now shes “too skinny” i mean make um ur FREAKIN MINDS PPL!!!!! shes beautiful no matter wat…..lik really shes def fine now
Honestly, no..I think something’s wrong. =_=” I think it’s sad how so many Disney actresses are skinny these days. Ashley Tisdale used to be, but she put on some more weight and looks fabulous. Brenda Song is gorgeous. Vanessa Hudgens is in great shape and there have been so many others. Seems like they’re getting thinner as time goes on.
Demi never needed to lose a pound but she’s CLEARLY been losing more and more weight. I really thought she’d be the one who could show people what a healthy girl is supposed to look like, seeing as all the others are in the past.
Not to be mean but you can be this skinny and not be anorexic. But she has a had a dramatic weight loss. And Helen anorexia does’t just mean you don’t eat. It means you eat very little or don’t eat at all. Coming from another former, i know what is happening. I’m not a fan, but I do hope she gets better.
Demi is NOT fat. In fact she should go eat a cheeseburger and wash it down with some fries and a milkshake. She’s super skinny but I don’t think she has an eating disorder. I think she’s HEALTHY!!!!
WTD! Dude I’m skinnier than her WAY skinnier and I’m not counted as anorexic!:D
Okay, as someones else pointed out, anorexia does not mean that you don’t eat, you just eat very little. And medically, to be dignosed you need to meet certain criteria, like being underweight along with other things. I think Demi looks pretty decent here, her stomach may not be sucked in, some people’s stomachs just look like that. She might have eating problems, as the media can be cruel sometimes, but we don’t really know unless she comes out and says something. I’m not a fan, but I hope she’s ok, because anorexia is a painful thing to have.
Hey! I’m Demi’s cousin and SHE IS NOT ANOREXIC! It just runs in out family! I’m tiny, too!
shes not anorexic…well thats what i think but shes smarter than that and lets just say she is it could possibly be people talkin shit bout her…just puttin that out there ha. and a shout out to SELENA GOMEZ I FREAKIN LOVE U GIRL!!!!!
she just entered rehab for cutting / eating disorder
You know what’s funny? Everyone on here is like OMGZSDFH SHE IZ NOT ANOREXIC GEEEEEZ!!!!! but she’s just been admitted to a hospital for self-injuring and having an eating disorder.
So I’m gonna go with yes, she does have issues with food. Probably EDNOS though.
Honestly, as someone who frequents eating disorder support websites due to my own eating disorder, I think she does have disordered eating. She has just entered treatment, though, so she’s moving in the right direction. Posting those lyrics is kind of indicating. Superchick is commonly listened to by people suffering from eating disorders. The singer in the band has an eating disorder so it feels like somebody understands you. And to the people that are saying “she looks fine not anorexic” just because somebody is not scary skinny, does not mean they can’t have an eating disorder. There are tons of eating disorders, like EDNOS as Meghan has stated. There is also BED and COE which means the person would end up GAINING weight. A lot of times a person with an eating disorder is afraid to tell somebody because they don’t want to get the reaction of “but shouldn’t you be skinny, then?” IF you have read some interviews she does discuss the issues she has had with her own image.
omg .. it cant be!!btw i love demi ..
ppl stop saying she isnt anorexic because she is!!! if her rep said it, its true!!!!!!
omg, demi is a beautiful girl. she isn’t fat, she isn’t ugly. she’s just beautiful. how could anyone say she’s fat :O that just doesn’t make sense. i hope this isn’t true
omg she might be but then again might not be I am a little photogpher and u can tell by the way shes posing tht shes not sucking in nor streching her stomach enough to make her look thtat skinny but if she was look at her arms then again i no someone that was and was about that size
You cannot be the one to decide whether someone has an eating disorder or not, unless you have one yourself. Those lyrics she posted are lyrics to a song that only people with eating disorders would know; and they’re written by an artist whose songs are mainly about eating disorders for she has one herself. Posting tweets about how hungry she is, and how she hasn’t eaten all day is a subtle cry for help. When you try to hard to be normal, to try to escape it. For example, her saying she feels all girls should be happy with their bodies and to treat them right and then they will will be rewarded. She says that to make HERSELF believe it too, because I do the same exact thing. “she looks fine, its just the way she is standing” is not a valid comment whatsoever. She has clearly dropped weight; you can tell when weight loss is healthy and not healthy. Demi is naturally a curvy girl, and when she has that dramatic of weight loss while cuts appear on her arms……It is clear she has self esteem issues, those cuts were not an accident. In pictures, you can tell that they were fresh. My heart goes out to her because I know what exactly she is going through.. except she has the misfortune of dealing with it in the spotlight.
Every star is becoming thin, I guess Its the new thing. Its horrible. The world is seeing fat on these teens when there is no fat all all!!!. I think its way to much pressure on the child/teen stars.
I’m so disgusted at the people just LOOKING at her and judging whether or not she has an eating disorder. Just because someone is not on the brink of death does not mean they don’t need help.
i i know that song and anyone not going through the same experience wouldn’t listen to it, because it’s clear what it’s about.
i think it’s disgusting how people are pressured so much to change, to be the same as everyone else. demi lovato is beautiful, and bullies changed the way she thought about herself. think about what you say before you say it because calling someone fat or ugly may not seem like it does much, but bullying can destroy lives. the names that you give the person, eventually they will begin to believe them.
i really hope demi is doing well, and will get better soon. i’ve always thought she was a brilliant role model and her getting through this is going to make her an even better one.
<3
yes demi has an eating disorder didnt you guys heard she went to rehab because of cutting eating disorder and something about punching a dancer or whatso ever…
There are other eating disorders out there, why automatically assume it’s anorexia ?
Look at her belly-its not got any flab on it. Whoever said she was the,”ffat dinsey girl” is mad.
I love you demii.. i have met you twice, once on tour and the other in hollywood.. and both times you look amazing you looked nothing like this.. you beautiful just the way you are and if you want to change you self then so be it.. but it won’t be your own life your messing up … Please get well soon .. before you future disappears.. and i don’t think your fans will be happy about ,, its your life. But please dont destory it x
