This just seems like a dangerous thing to do for a person with fragile body image. People will write comments and some of them will not be kind. It is the realm of the Internet- where anonymous commentors can find something negative and hurtful to say about anything- especially the female body. I hope she is strong enough not to listen.

To me, the problem is not with Demi's decision to post a bikini pic, but the problem lies within the people who are interprating this as "flaunting her hot body" rather than her just being proud of her new direction towards a healthy self overall. I only see this as a negative thing is people are seeing it as negative, but I don't believe it was intended to for that reason. I believe that outside the new healthy body, she will continue to display a healthy mind and lifestyle as well. I think Samantha hits the nail on the head with her last statement.

I talk about bikini confidence a lot on my blog because while my quest to wear my first bikini was initially based on healthy eating and weight training, I realized that the bigger issue was the fact that I was not comfortable enough in my body to wear a bikini in public. I was ashamed of how I looked and had terrible self image. I still struggle with this. To me, the most important thing was to build confidence in myself, in my beauty, in my body-- the bikini was secondary. I wish the media saw Demi's move the same way. Promoting her improved self image rather than her 'hot bikini body'. I’m ALL for Demi’s move to feel confident enough to post a picture of herself in a bikini.
