Demi Lovato Opens Up About Her Ongoing Battle With Eating Disorders

Demi Lovato spoke about her battle with food

Demi Lovato has been open about her struggles with food and body image. Her eating disorder, which includes bulimia, anorexia, and compulsive overeating/binge eating, began at the age of 8. The singer entered treatment for the first time at age 18 and has been finding ways to deal with the issue.

In a recent interview on the Street You Grew Up On podcast, Demi shared details about her eating disorder and that her journey is far from over. Demi revealed that she has been to a treatment facility several times, and still the singer feels that she is not fully healed. Elaborating on her struggles, Demi said:

“I've been to treatment several times. Today, I'm not in a place where I see myself as fully healed. I don't think that that's something that I even think about striving towards because it doesn't seem realistic. I think that food is going to be a battle for the rest of my life, but it's a manageable battle.”
