Just Keep Holding On

Demi Lovato has uploaded a new blog to Seventeen.com!

This time her blog focuses on recent comments made about her over the past few weeks, how excited she is for her concerts, and how hard her journey has been.

Demi’s full blog can be found below the jump.

I love how open Demi is about this whole situation. Demi is healthy and happy and that is all that should matter.

Thanks @CircleOfDisney!There has been a lot of media attention on some comments made on Twitter the night of the VMAs. I responded to a negative tweet about my body and I want to set the record straight for my fans that I am happy and healthy.

I am on a journey to recovery and it is one that I have to take day by day. I felt like I had to stand up for myself, which I tried to do in the best way possible. Although it is hard to hear criticism, I have been surrounding myself with healthy people who help me to stay healthy. But I definitely want you all to know that the support I receive from my fans means the world to me. It allows me to STAY STRONG and continue my journey! I hope that I can inspire each of you to do the same.

I am soooo excited for my upcoming shows in NYC (9/17) and LA (9/23 )! YAY!! It feels so good to be back on stage. I am loving dancing and rehearsing every day. I feel so lucky to work with such amazing dancers, musicians, choreographers — what an inspiration they are to me! Singing and performing keeps me feeling strong and energized. I feel like I am truly myself when I am onstage and…I LOVE getting to see all of you!!! These shows are going to be amazing! I hope to see you there!

Stay Strong!
