Demi Moore Opens up About Ashton Kutcher, Insecurities and Weight Issues

In the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Demi Moore opens up about seperating from husband Ashton Kutcher after 6 years of marriage. The 49-year-old movie star revealed insecurities that most women have but rarely share publicly.

“I have had a love-hate relationship with my body,” says Demi about her insecurities. “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 Moore does not have a weight problem, physically. But mentally, she struggles with weight issues that could affect relationships and self-confidence.

The actress continued to say, “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’.”

“What scares me is not having the courage to reach my full potential.” Demi says. “It’s not just about reaching my potential in terms of my career. If I were to answer it just kind of bold-faced, I would say what scares me is that I’m going to ultimately find out at the end of my life that I’m really not lovable, that I’m not worthy of being loved. That there’s something fundamentally wrong with me.”
