On Wednesday (May 5), the musician shared an Instagram post all about self-worth with a Boomerang clip of her holding a coffee mug that reads I am worth it and features a heart symbol from the National Eating Disorder Association. This is the @neda symbol for eating disorder recovery. I painted this at @colormemine years ago, Lovato shared. Even though I was in the throes of my eating disorder, I still made this in hopes that I would truly believe it some day. I still struggle. Daily. There are periods of time where I forget about my food struggles and other times it s all I think about. Still, she continued. But that is what ED recovery looks like for some people and I still have hope that someday I won t think about it anymore. For now my mug reminds me that I am worth it, and today I believe it.
