Lady Gaga & Body Revolution
Earlier this year Lady Gaga admitted to having an eating disorder as a teen; specifically, bulimia and anorexia. Her confession sparked the “Body Revolution”, and women from all over the world have been inspired to send photographs and talk about their own struggles with their bodies.

Some are staying it is another publicity stunt but it doesn’t really matter. Lady Gaga’s fans adore her. She has almost 30 million followers on Twitter! And so she is a role model for all of her “little monsters”. She is inspiring bravery and courage. If she says, “Ur Fine” and “you don’t need to diet” on Twitter, then they believe her.
And, really, if that helps a young girl or a woman to address her body image and eating issues, then that’s all that matters!
