“She claims that she is five-foot-three, but I doubt she’s taller than five feet,” said the doc, noting this and other recent images. “So at five feet, she is morbidly obese at around 170.”

Mirkin observed reports that Demi has a history of “yo-yo dieting ... eating disorders that include excesses of food,

Meanwhile, sources insisted that Demi has “turned her life around” and said Levy is a “perfect sober friend — he is a positive influence on her.” She’s also reportedly being visited by former "That ’70s Show" star

Wilmer’s a “constant presence ... and an essential component of the support system her sobriety requires,” said an another insider. During her time at her L.A. home, Demi has a sober coach with her, goes to the gym and attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, insiders said.

And while some pals fear she has sought comfort with food as a way to cope with beating her addictions, another insider had a different take. “Demi is happy and healthy and has done a complete 180 since she overdosed," the source said.

"Her 90 days in rehab have truly turned her life around," the source continued. “She wants to remain out of rehab. She has a sober coach and a complete support system.”
