Recovering from an eating disorder is a long process, and if anyone can speak to that, it's Demi Lovato.
Almost a year-and-a-half after completing treatment for "emotional and physical issues," the former Disney starlet, 19, says she's too insecure about her physique – she's now a size 10-12 – to book new projects.
"I need to be secure in my body before I go back in front of the camera," Lovato tells British mag Fabulous.
"Anyone in recovery from an eating disorder would find that triggering, and I'm not ready … Knowing I have bad angles and the photographer can take a bad shot makes me insecure."
The troubled actress, who has previously played down past drug use, also opens up about how she was exposed to drugs and alcohol even though she was underage.
"Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol in restaurants or clubs," she admits. "They wanted me to come back so I would be seen there. They were basically kissing my ass. I thought they were my friends. I thought I was having fun."
Lovato says she can see how young stars end up in trouble – or worse. "Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says 'no,' " she says. "That's why so many end up overdosing and dying. It could definitely have happened to me."
Eventally Lovato got help, but she describes treatment as "really hard and scary."
"I had 14 hours of therapy a day. I listened to music and learned to knit. When I finally left, it was like being let out of prison," she says.
Looking back at her ups and downs, Lovato says ultimately she doesn't regret having a childhood spent in the limelight.
"There were times I wish I'd been a normal teenager so I could make mistakes and not be scrutinized. But I don't mourn the childhood I never had. I'd rather have been traveling the world and making albums than at high school."

Demi will be appearing on MTV's Punk'd next Thursday, May 3rd! She will be appearing as a guest, and will be punk'd by Nick Cannon. Are you excited to see Demi punked on Punk'd? I sure am. It's seems like it'll be really funny since I've watch the show before with other celebrities being punked as well. From the sneak peek preview, be prepared for LOTS of censoring, especially from Ashley Tisdale freaking out, as well as Demi being censoring out. (They censor out like EVERY curse word they say.)

Demi Lovato pledges to "Stay Strong" in her MTV documentary, the aptly titled Demi Lovato: Stay Strong," which will debut on Tuesday, March 6, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. When the trailer dropped last week, fans immediately began to watch it on repeat.
It lends insight and gives sneak peeks into what Lovatics will get to see and hear from the star when the full show airs next week. The deeply personal special follows the singer/actress as she struggles to confront her personal demons, while also focusing on her music career.
"I wanted to do this documentary because I told a lot of my story but no one has taken cameras inside of my life and gotten to see what it's like first-hand a day in the life of me," she told MTV News on Thursday (March 1). "I thought it would be a cool opportunity for my fans to see what it's like."
Before the show airs, MTV News is taking a look at several of the must-see moments from the trailer.
Her Fans
Demi opens up about the support she received from her fans during her personal struggles, noting that they helped her though her darkest days and still do. Her fans also talk about how appreciative they are of her openness and honesty. She even visits the Illinois treatment facility where she spent several months. She later says, "I'm not fixed; this is a daily battle. But I continue to work my butt off because now I want to be a legitimate role model."
Battling Her Eating Disorders
The singer/actress makes her way home for her first Thanksgiving since treatment. Having dealt with eating disorders, she goes to a family gathering for a holiday that's focused on eating. "I never thought that I'd be a role model," she says about her public image. "When I first started in the industry, everyone just kind of made me a role model, and I hated that. I had so many issues underneath that needed to be taken care of. ... It literally ended up driving me insane."
Getting Back to Touring
She cut her tour with the Jonas Brothers short in 2010 when she went into treatment, and in fall 2011 she embarked on her first tour since leaving treatment. About the trek, she notes, "This time on tour I feel like I am definitely not taking anything for granted."
The special is named after two tattoos on her wrists that read, "Stay Strong." The ink pays homage to her devoted fans, who stood by her side through her recent personal struggles through her return in 2011, when she released her album Unbroken.
"It's something that my fans were actually drawing on their wrists while I was still in treatment," she explained about the significance of her tattoos. "Some people even got tattoos of it, so I wanted to show you guys that I will never forget the support that you guys gave me."
Don't miss "Demi Lovato: Stay Strong," debuting Tuesday, March 6, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

"‘Punk’d’ Returns March 29 With Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus & More"
Ashton who? When 'Punk'd' returns next month, it'll be hosted by a younger, cooler crowd. We've been anxiously anticipating the return of MTV's Punk'd ever since we first saw the clip of Khloé Kardashian and Miley Cyrus' awkward encounter with a pizza guy's testicles. And now, thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we can happily report that the new-and-improved Punk'd will premiere March 29 at 10:30 p.m., right after the series premiere of Pauly D's reality show The Pauly D Project. Kellan Lutz, Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato are among the other celebrities who will appear on the re-vamped Punk'd.
