Demi Lovato has had an unhealthy relationship with food for as long as she can remember. She has struggled with her body image for her whole life, though she did not begin binging and purging until later. At 8 she began overeating, and at 12 she started starving herself and vomiting to lose weight.

Demi told You magazine:

"I think I was born with an eating disorder, because I've never had a relationship with food that was normal. I remember looking in the mirror with nappies [diapers] on thinking, 'You're fat, change it'"

"I started overeating when I was about eight; I was a binge eater. I would bake a whole plate of cookies and eat them all. Then when I turned 12 I was bullied in school and they called me fat. I went from being an overeater to stopping eating and I lost about 30 pounds. From then on I continued undereating, but my weight plateaued. I started throwing up to lose weight."
