It is your birthday. You get a beautiful, huge cake, filled with candles to blow. When it comes to cutting the first piece, he discovers that it is a watermelon molded into a cake shape and covered with a layer of whipped cream.

Imagine the disappointment!

That was the reality of Demi Lovato for eight years in a row.

Famous since she was a child, the pop music star has suffered from eating disorders for decades and has faced anorexia, bulimia and binge eating. A daily battle over which she claims to have greater control today.

How?

Without depriving yourself of small pleasures, like a simple birthday cake.

Demi also turned the story into music. On the album that came out yesterday and bears the same name as the documentary - in addition to the subtitle "the art of starting over" -, she included the song "Melon Cake", precisely about regaining control of her own life and overcoming this sad part of her trajectory. .

May Demi's birthday cakes taste better every year!
