Demi Lovato slams 'thigh gap' craze with new bikini pic

Demi, 22, loves her figure – and she’s not afraid to show it! The ‘Heart Attack’ singer took to Instagram on Friday to post a shot of her bikini bod, proudly drawing attention to the fact she doesn’t have a ‘thigh gap’.

“Regardless of what society tells you these days … You don’t have to have a thigh gap to be beautiful,” she captioned the sun-drenched snapshot.

Thigh gaps are one of the latest body crazes sweeping the internet, with plenty of websites and social media pages fuelling the frenzy. Even Beyonce was accused of photoshopping a thigh gap into her own Instagram pics last year – but Demi is determined to turn the tables.

The singer has been championing a healthier lifestyle lately, posting plenty of selfies from the gym and sharing her ‘juicing’ routine.

Throughout it all, though, Demi has stressed that it’s not about losing weight, but more about getting fit, strong and healthy. She revealed her struggle to love her body in a recent interview, admitting that she knows she has “problem areas” just like everyone else.

“I’m always going to have thick thighs. I can’t change that, and obsessing over it will only make me miserable,” she told Fitness magazine.

“Learning to be grateful for our bodies and taking care of them are the best ways for us to empower ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually.”
