Demi Lovato<\/a><\/strong> is sharing a very honest message with her fans.<\/p>\n

The “Anyone” singer, who has been very open about her mental health journey and her path to sobriety, is encouraging those who are struggling to not give up. In a post on her Instagram Stories<\/a>, Lovato told her followers that she woke up feeling “not super confident.” Lovato posted this message shortly after her new interview on Ashley Graham<\/a><\/strong>‘s Pretty Big Deal<\/em> podcast was released, during which she talked about being the “most free” she’s even felt in her life<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Woke up feeling not super confident even tho my PDB episode just came out,” Lovato wrote to her fans on Instagram. “Let this be a reminder to anyone struggling out there – this life is a journey with tons of ups and downs but you can’t give up.”<\/p>\n

“I deal with s–t on the daily but I know I’m gonna be okay with God on my side,” the 27-year-old star continued.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

During her interview with Graham, Lovato said that she’s no longer willing to “destroy” her mental health in order to look a certain way.<\/p>\n

“I haven’t worn a pair of jeans in forever because I don’t like jeans, they don’t make me feel great right now,” Lovato said. “And I don’t have to f–king wear jeans if I don’t want to.”<\/p>\n

Lovato also told Graham that she doesn’t know what she currently weighs, but normally she could tell her weight without even needing a scale.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Now, I finally feel like I have freedom from it because I literally don’t know my weight,” Lovato said. “And it’s the most free that I’ve ever felt in my whole life.”<\/p>\n

Lovato is also now focusing on body acceptance over body positivity. As she explained to Graham, “Now when I look in the mirror and I start to have a negative thought, I don’t stop and say, ‘No, you’re beautiful, you’re gorgeous, I love you, you’re perfect the way you are.’ Because I don’t believe that.”<\/p>\n

Instead, Lovato tells herself, “You’re healthy and I accept you.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
