Demi Lovato opened up about how her past eating disorder triggered her during her wedding planning.
During the promotion of her new cookbook at Demi Lovato In conversation: “One plate at a time” During the event on Tuesday, March 17, the actress and singer opened up about how she felt “intimidated” when deciding her wedding menu.
While speaking about her healing journey from an eating disorder, Lavato said, “I think this is a reflection of where I am now in my journey of recovery with disordered eating and my eating disorder.
“It took a long time. The first time I went to treatment for an eating disorder was when I was 18. And it took a long time for me to get here, to feel comfortable around food, to step into the kitchen.”
She noted, “Sometimes it can be a long process for people. And I’m one of those people, but I’m so proud of the journey that I’m on and I’m excited. I’m excited to share that and to share these recipes that we’ve created.”
The “Heart Attack” singer, who tied the knot with Jordan “Jutes” Lutes last year, said planning food for her big day was “intimidating,” but her now husband stepped in to support her.
“We were picky about what we had on the menu when we did a test, so the caterer came to my house and cooked, I think it was 18 different types of food,” Lovato recalls.
“And that was intimidating, but I got through it with the support of my loving husband and in the end we settled on a few dishes and yes, we were picky about what we had at the wedding. We wanted food that we loved,” she added.
