Niki DeMartino Opens Up About Struggling With an Eating Disorder (Video)

Niki DeMartino is speaking out about dealing with an eating disorder.

The vlogger took to social media on Friday (June 8) to share her story with fans.

“This is probably the most scared I’ve ever been to post a photo & video on my channel,” she wrote on Instagram along with photos of herself. “Just a few months ago I couldn’t admit things to myself, and now I’m sharing my entire story to the world.”

“I used to see vulnerability as weakness, and kept so much to myself,” she continued. “I thought it was easier to pretend everything was okay. But now I’m realizing what a true blessing it is that I’ve been given this platform to share my story, be vulnerable, and spread awareness to this illness. I feel a great sense of responsibility to speak out, knowing there’s so many people who’ve gone through this or are going through this and DON’T see the light.”

“I truly feel that if sharing my story helps some of you, than it’s worth it,” she added. “You are stronger than you realize.. whether you believe that or not right now. If you want to hear my story about my eating disorder, you can watch it on my channel ‘Niki DeMar.’ I love you guys more than you know. This is for YOU. You guys make me stronger everyday. The love is mutual 💙 XX.”

She also captioned the video, “Bulimia.com … Call 24/7 for eating disorder treatment 1-866-574-8814.”
