Last month, Demi Lovato proudly decided to quit dieting—and Tuesday she celebrated by posting a photo of herself to Instagram wearing an oversized jacket and white booties. The photo has since been deleted for unknown reasons.
Luckily, fans screenshotted the Instagram before it was removed and have been sharing it with personal stories about how Lovato's confidence has inspired them.
The caption of the deleted photo read: “These are what I call no more dieting thighs and I’m proud of them #thickthighssavelives."
Lovato has admitted before she is self conscious about her thighs. In January, she posted a photo on the beach to share her self love journey.
"I’m insecure about my legs in this picture but I’m posting it because I look so happy and this year I’ve decided I’m letting go of my perfectionism and embracing freedom from self criticism," she wrote. "Learning to love my body the way it is challenging but life changing. Giving up my eating disorder has been the most challenging journey of my life but I work every day towards solid recovery even if I mess up sometimes."
After all, what's wrong with being confident?
