According to Harper's Bazaar magazine, the 49-year-old actress who has been the subject of concern for her thin frame following the split from her husband Ashton Kutcher, said that she likes to be in control and hates to feel like her body is betraying her.

Demi Moore is addressing the controversy in the February 2012 issue of the magazine after months of speculation on her weight and numerous reports that she was basically living on coffee and cigarettes.

Demi's weight plummeted right after word got out in the press that Ashton Kutcher, her husband of six years, had cheated on her precisely on their sixth wedding anniversary. However, all this time the actress continued to lose weight and the media quickly picked up on it.

Speaking with good friend, Amanda de Cadenet for Harper's Bazaar magazine, Demi said that she has always had a very odd relationship with her body and that she was never really happy with the way she looked.

"I have had a love-hate relationship with my body," Demi shared. There were moments in life when the actress felt as if she was waging a war on her body and it is one that she would often lose.

"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," the actress explains.

Nowadays, Demi is more accepting on her flaws, however, she also knows that not all is well with her.

"What scares me the most is, not knowing and accepting that, just about everything is not in my control. That makes me feel unsafe. I think being comfortable is perhaps overrated. I think a better word than comfortable is accepting. Accepting weaknesses and strengths and being more able to celebrate all of it as a whole package," Moore said.

Moreover, the actress said that she has finally come to terms with her body and she has accepted getting older.

"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 in a way that I never imagined somebody would say to me, 'You're too thin and you don't look good'," Demi said.
