Demi Moore: "I Have Had A Love-Hate Relationship With My Body"

Demi Moore covers the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar, and after looking at these shots of the 49-year-old actress, ex-husband Ashton Kutcher has to be kicking himself for cheating on her!
Demi was interviewed by longtime pal Amanda De Cadenet, and the ladies chat about everything from their upcoming Lifetime series The Conversation to Demi's guilty pleasures (watching Jersey Shore and sleeping in the nude!).
Of course, the interview also touches on some more serious issues, and Demi reveals that she has struggled to find peace with her body image. "I have had a love-hate relationship with my body," she said. "When I'm at the greatest odds with my body, it's usually because I feel my body's betraying me, whether that's been in the past, struggling with my weight and feeling that I couldn't eat what I wanted to eat, or that I couldn't get my body to do what I wanted it to do."
Demi continues, "I think I sit today in a place of greater acceptance of my body, and that includes not just my weight but all of the things that come with your changing body as you age to now experiencing my body as extremely thin - thin in a way that I never imagined somebody would be saying to me, “You’re too thin, and you don’t look good.” I find peace when I don’t see my body as my enemy, when I step back and have appreciation and look at all that my body has done for me."
On her fears, Demi says, "I used to think that what scared me was the idea of being abandoned until someone said to me, ‘Only children can be abandoned. Adults can’t be abandoned because we have a choice. Children don’t have a choice.’ So I started to rethink. ‘Okay, it’s not that. What’s the underlying thread that really scares me?’ I think what scares me is not having the courage to reach my full potential."
But does Demi think she's too thin now?

You are an embarassment to "Empowered Females" the Women's Lib Movement should smack you silly,
Get some self respect for your family sake.
So do we.. mostly it's hate.. you keep topping off the surgery's and starvation for attention and because you won't behave with any dignity and sanity.. Look at Helen Miriam and learn something cookie..
hooker granny
She looks fabulous!
Divorce makes the body go into flight or fight syndrome and get very thin... she will even out with time. Go Demi...
No body cares.
Skankworld.
SHE NEEDA BILLIONAIRE WITH A BIG WANG HA! DON'T WE ALL!
She doesn't sound like the brightest bulb in this interview.
I guess it wasn't good enough to keep her husband faithful....
Huh..why would he be kicking himself? He knows what she looks like without the makeup and the photoshopped images we get to see. She is 50 not 30. Stop acting like you are one and grow up Demi
Is it true she effed Brandi Glanville??? HAWT!!!!!!!!
Stupid to be pining over a dumb kid who needed 3somes to stay in their so-called marriage.
nice shoes
WTF? She can walk by any construction site and pick up a new dude who will give her more attention than Kutcher did.
What a load of crap, of course adults can be abandoned.
let me guess, the "HATE" won?
Why should she be an embarrassment? She is explaining how she feels in this article, she does not have to explain how YOU feel, nor does she have to agree with you. Why do you people contrast your opinions on to someone who does not even know and WHY should she live the way YOU think she should? She is simply explaining her thoughts on her struggles why do you need to insert your concepts? Seems strange that so many people can take the time out of their day to be bitter and hateful towards a woman who has suffered. She married Ashton and stood up and spoke vows that he broke, she is and was devastated as any one would. Why is she excluded from compassion and kindness. Your like the village mob who wants to stone her with your hate and words. Let the first one of you who is perfect in every aspect throw the first insult. Your a bunch of very sad and jealous people, and Demi remains rich and beautiful. Get some counseling ladies.
When is this hag going to get over herself. On another note on her face being all natural pigs will fly Demi.
She's been outted as a serial drunk, druggy and cheater now.. how funny is that after her seriously sad and regretful fabrication story..
BRAVO DEMI!!! BRAVO FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO FINALLY SPEAK OUT AND LET THE WORLD KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!! WE ALL LOVE YOU IN CANADA AND WE'VE BEEN WAITING TO SEE THAT HOT BODY FOR YEARS! ITS ABOUT TIME YOUR BACK ON THE MARKET CAUSE THIS CANADIANS STANDS ON GUARD FOR YOU! OMG YOUR SO SEXY AND HOT IN THOSE PHOTOS IT MAKES FANS ALL GIDDY WITH DELIGHT! ITS HARD TO BELIEVE YOUR ACTUALLY A MOTHER BECAUSE YOU LOOK SO YOUNG AND SWEET! YOU KNOW BOYFRIENDS COME AND GO BUT FANS ARE FOREVER SO KEEP YOUR HEAD UP CAUSE WHO KNOWS WHAT THE WIND MIGHT BLOW IN! YOU'RE STILL SO SEXY ITS SUCH GOOD NEWS THAT WE'LL BE SEEING MORE OF THIS SEXY DIVORCEE IN THE COMING YEAR! 2012'S GONNA BE A BIG YEAR FOR DEMI AS SHE TRAVELS ON THE ROAD FORWARD IN HER CAREER! CAN'T WAIT! XOX
Her comments make no sense at all? What is the statement she is trying to make, that she's finally perfected Anorexia and that being sickly thin-looking is easy to accept?
