Demi Lovato shares an empowering post-workout message on Instagram

Demi Lovato is the body-positivity queen we all need. Yesterday, instead of complaining about how exhausted she was after her workout, she shed some light on all of the positive aspects involved in taking care of yourself.

The "Sorry Not Sorry" singer posted a bikini photo on Instagram and captioned it with enlightening words, especially after everything she's been through this year.

Idk what to caption this.. reality is I’m sitting at the gym post jiu jitsu feeling high on life and drinking my post workout shake. I’m sweaty and not looking this glamorous right now but f*** I feel awesome and posting this feels empowering because I like this pic where I feel sexy and I can also defend myself from anyone that ever tries to attack me. Any size, any shape, any gender. I have security but in the moments I’m alone I feel confident (no pun intended) that I can hold my own against an attacker and hope everyone finds something they become as passionate about as I feel about jiu jitsu," she wrote.

Lovato has consistently been vocal about body positivity, consistently speaking out about her own quest for it. The singer previously opened up about her struggles with bulimia and how proud she is to have overcome it, finding a love of fitness and self-care along the way.

In March, The Inquisitr wrote an article about Lovato’s figure looking “fuller” after a workout. In response, she wrote on social media, “I AM MORE THAN MY WEIGHT.” The author of the article apologized to Lovato, and the singer posted the apology to social media and said, “let’s create change together.”

Keep killing the jiu jitsu game, Demi – your Instagram is proof that there's nothing wrong with being confident.
