Wait, Demi Lovato Is Now Considered Fat?

So, Demi Lovato was one of the many celebrities on my MTV Sunday night at this year’s (truly terrible) Video Music Awards. I was happy to see her, not that I am even a fan of her work (Disney’s Sonny With A Chance and some bad Top 40 songs), but because I had heard she has had a rough year.
Besides apparently going into a deep depression after years of intense media scrutiny (okay, but she decided to be famous, right?) and a painful break-up with one of the Jonas Brothers (not sure if it was the twins or the Mexican one), she also fought a serious bout of anorexia for nearly six years.
Is Demi Lovato Fat? So she took the time and got the help she needed, then the minute she returned to the public spotlight she was greeted with a chorus of remarks, both online and to her face that she is now FAT!
Naturally, it started playing out on Twitter, the nation’s real-time newspaper, the night of the show and Demi fought back. See what she said plus more photos from Sunday night.
Demi‘s first tweet after the show, later deleted, read, “I’ve gained weight. Get over it.That’s what happens when you get out of treatment for AN EATING DISORDER”
She later added, “Guess what, I’m healthy and happy, and if you’re hating on my weight you obviously aren’t. 
#UNBROKEN.”
From an article from the International Business Times (the what?) this week:
“According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, (ANAD), ‘Anorexia is the third most common chronic illness among adolescents.’ 81 percent of 10 year-olds are afraid of becoming fat. 47 percent of girls between 5th and 12th grade say that they want to lose weight because of photos they have seen in magazines. 69 percent of girls in the same group say that images in magazines have affected their idea of what a perfect body is.
And yet: ‘The body type portrayed in advertising as the ideal is possessed naturally by only five percent of American females,’ (ANAD) said. Pressure is in abundance. Unfortunately, body shape is only one example of ‘perfection’ girls feel pressured to attain.”
Read more here.
By-the-way, thank God for the ideal 5 percent but still, let’s cut women who are closer to normal like Demi some slack too. Not everyone needs to be a size zero. And another thing, I only hang out with obese people so it makes me look super-thin by comparison. Maybe Demi needs to dump Selena and make Precious her new BFF so those photos start coming out instead.

THANK YOU BEAN FOR SAYING ALL THAT!
She looks HEALTHY. Perhaps those who called her fat need to get off twitter and research what a healthy person looks like. All I know about her is that she went to rehab for what I think was an eating disorder? Hell I don’t follow her because I’m not into what she “sells” either, but for frick’s sake.. Can we stop praising how skeletal women look and calling them beautiful? I’m not saying to encourage obesity either, but a HEALTHY balance is well.. healthy!

Thin women are real but not all woman need to be a size zero. I was 116 at one point and now I’m 129 and I love my curves and apparently so does a lot of people. Just because she is curvy doesnt mean anything. She’s hot, healthy, and damn beautiful so that’s all that matters.

Kevin, you are ignorant and one of the very reasons why so many young women struggle with eating disorders. She looks healthy, and by no means fat. And by the way, why do you have standards for women to be skinny, when obviously you don’t have that same standard for yourself or other men?

She would look better if she dropped 10 pounds. However, I would rather do Demi than Kim Kardashian. Kim has a grossly obese ass. At least Demi’s body is pretty proportional.

She doesn’t look fat…more like big boned. But i bet she has a great personality. All big girls do. And now she can shop at Lane Bryant.

I don’t think she looks fat BUT standing to Selena “Beanpole” Gomez isn’t helping her. Selena looks so thin she has to run around in the shower just to get hit by the water.

Demi Lovato isnt fat, she looks perfect just the way she is. She looks way better now than she did months ago when she had her breakdown. The few pounds she gained (in all the right places I might add) and the nice tan not only make her look like a completely different person, she also looks more feminine and mature. I know a lot of guys who would kill just to have a fine woman like her on their arm. Keep it up girl, at least there’s one famous Demi who looks like a real woman.
