In her 31 years, the singer and actress has inspired us in all sorts of ways, uplifting fans through powerful messages as she faces her own ups and downs in the spotlight.In honor of Lovato’s 31st birthday on Aug. 20, 2023, find yourself inspired with some of her most empowering quotes.01of 10On a New Way of LifeDemi Lovato.Kevin Mazur/Getty"I used to have people watching me the night before a photo shoot to make sure that I didn’t binge or eat and be swollen the next day … It’s just a totally different world now … I don’t prepare for photo shoots, even.

There are days when it’s hard to, but more and more, there are days where I’m actually proud of my body."— toComplex04of 10On Being ‘CELLULIT!!!!‘Demi Lovato/Instagram"This is my biggest fear. A photo of me in a bikini unedited. And guess what, it’s CELLULIT!!!! I’m just literally sooooo tired of being ashamed of my body, editing it (yes the other bikini pics were edited - and I hate that I did that but it’s the truth) so that others think I’m THEIR idea of what beautiful is, but it’s just not me. This is what I got. I want this new chapter in my life to be about being authentic to who I am rather than trying to meet someone else’s standards. So here’s me, unashamed, unafraid and proud to own a body that has fought through so much and will continue to amaze me when I hopefully give birth one day. It’s such a great feeling to be back in tv/film while not stressing myself with a strenuous workout schedule before 14 hour days, or depriving myself from a real birthday cake rather than opting for watermelon & whip cream with candles because I was terrified of REAL cake and was miserable on some crazy diet shit. Anyway, here’s me, RAW, REAL! And I love me. And you should love you too! Now back to the studio.. I’m working on an anthem.. 🙏🏼🙌🏼🤷🏻♀️ also. Just so everyone’s clear.. I’m not stoked on my appearance BUT I am appreciative of it and sometimes that’s the best I can do. I hope to inspire someone to appreciate their body today too."— onInstagram05of 10On Figuring Out What She WantsDemi Lovato.Kevin Mazur/Getty"I want a career that has nothing to do with my body. I want it to be about my music and my lyrics and my message. And I want a long-lasting career that I don’t have to change myself for.

I had a little anxiety going into it but the cast and crew were so professional and easy to work with, it calmed me down immediately.

Then, I thought about how proud I am for being able to feel comfortable enough in my skin to do that. I rarely ever showed my arms before.. now I’m in this!! (Granted, it barely shows anything BUT STILL) I don’t always feel good in my skin, so when I do, AND I feel sexy enough to post - I do just that! It’s important to celebrate the little wins.
