Demi Lovato 'Doesn't Have To Fucking Wear Jeans' If She Doesn't Want To

Demi Lovato has been working hard to love and accept herself, although she "doesn't believe" she's brilliant. Case in point, that’s not the aspiration for her anymore.


The singer recently appeared on the newest installment of model Ashley Graham's Pretty Big Deal podcast, which dropped Tuesday (February 18); the two shared a brief chat about how Lovato is learning to appreciate her body in a healthy way.


"I have a bunch of people that I work with in the recovery aspect of my life. One of these is a dietician, one of those is a therapist," she mentioned of her support team. Right now If I look in the reflect and I begin to have a negative thought, I don't stop and mention, 'No, you're cute, you're gorgeous, I love you, you're brilliant the way you are.' Because I don't believe that."


She explained that, as a substitute, she preferred to tell herself "You're healthy and I accept you," in a bid to "express gratitude" and “reality" rather than making a task to convince herself of a statement she may not believe on any given day.


"I would love to be in a place where I can mention I'm super confident in my body, nevertheless the reality is, I'm not," Lovato admitted. She noted that she recently stopped keeping track of her weight, which gave her "freedom."


"It's the most free that I've ever felt in my whole life," she mentioned triumphantly, adding that she hasn't worn a pair of jeans in "forever."


"I don't like jeans, they don't make me feel good now. And I don't have to fucking wear jeans if I don't wish to she explained, to Graham’s approval.


Lovato has been on a long road to recovery, which recently culminated in her releasing "Anyone,” a pretty song about her experience with sobriety and self-love.


At the end of January, she took the stage at the Grammys to perform the track — and naturally there were no jeans in sight. As a substitute, she appeared in a flowing white gown to perform  the track, which she had written just four days ahead of her near-fatal overdose in July 2018. The star poured her heart out while in the efficiency, with soft piano accompanying her soaring vocals as she sang about her experience with substance use.


"I listen back and hear these lyrics as a cry for help," Lovato recently told Zane Lowe of the new single. "You sort of listen back to it so you think, how did nobody listen to this song and think, 'Let’s help this girl'?"


Right now, it seems she is in a good place – or getting there – one step at a time.
