Victoria Beckham Details Relationship With Body & Weight | E! News
Victoria Beckham is getting honest about the pressure she’s faced to be thin. The Spice Girls alum admits that the constant comments on her body throughout the years have led to unhealthy habits and negatively affected her mental and physical health. Victoria reflects in her new self-titled Netflix docue series, which premieres October 9th, “I was weighed on national television when Brooklyn was 6 months old. We laughed about it. We joked about it, but I was really, really young and that hurts.” According to Victoria, who was just 25 years old at the time, the expectation to uphold the ‘9s pop star body type took a toll as she got older. She says in the dock, “I really started to doubt myself and not like myself because I let it affect me. I didn’t know what I saw when I looked in the mirror. You lose all sense of reality. I was just very critical of myself. I didn’t like what I saw.” And the public’s name calling was particularly harmful. As Victoria notes, I’ve been everything from porky posh to skinny posh. It’s been a lot, and that’s hard. In fact, the scrutiny led her to develop an eating disorder, which she says she struggled with in silence. She says, “I was controlling my weight in an incredibly unhealthy way. When you have an eating disorder, you become very good at lying, and I was never honest about it with my parents. I never talked about it publicly. It really affects you when you’re being told constantly you’re not good enough.” And even today, Victoria shares that the feelings never seem to go away, adding, “I suppose that’s been with me my whole life.

I could tell without her telling me!

What a shock…
Meanwhile.. people in Gaza are starving & dealing with famine due to war, genocide, holocaust.
From this post, i have learnt that no matter how rich, successfull,& famous you are…, you can still get health issue, not from poverty But from the abundance.
u think🙄
Been there. Got the t-shirt.
when was she ever fat
Thank you for being brutally honest VB. We know you have been through a lot and we love and appreciate you. I am sorry that you were made to feel like this as nothing was ever wrong with how you looked.
The world we live in is so judgmental and cruel, you never deserved that. 🤗 🥰 ❤
Literally no-one cares
She has never been honest about anything. She is a ridiculous fraud
Ask for help VB❤
Nobody cares, jog along 🙄
Shes a vegan i read thats just so notvrralistic cause i like need fish prawns

You said nothing that we don't already know. Why carry your rich people issues online for us to try and solve ? Mam! Go eat several burgers and keep it moving!!!! When fake and vapid tries to be real and relatable🥱🥱🥱🥱🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Think we all knew this, hope she feels better soon.❤
I used to pray that i would marry chunks when I got older 😂😂😂
😂 The people who comment on this channel with so much negativity and hatred are very bitter sad people and I feel very sorry for you
I have a "relationship" with my weight. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
And the sky is blue! We all knew this. She just lied about it for decades.
She is honest about her life through out her life and marriage.
Poor Victoria, my heart goes out to her. I’m proud of her for being so candid! In recent memory look at the nonsense Nelly Furtardo has to put up with for re-emerging curvy. People don’t understand how much pressure is on celebs to appear “perfect” and unchanged.
We had shows like America’s next top model growing up where there are clips of Tyra banks calling a girl who was a size 8 phat. It was a really dark time.
🇺🇸Netflix doc is so good..Love her, love her and him, love them together, love that she can admit she made mistakes, she listened to people who knew what they were doing..SHE SEEMS HUMBLE, SHE IS Beautiful, charming, stylish, creative, 🩷love her🩷
I admire her honesty because most of us could see it but also sooo many celebrities pretend they are "Thin" because they are just eating "Clean" when they are doing really bizarre things to be skinny.
ABSOLUTE PICTURE OF COURAGE I ADMIRE HER HONESTY SHE TOOK HER PUNCHES AND SHE ADMITTED HER INSECURITIES, I NEVER THOUGHT OF YOU AS COLD OR HEARTLESS BEING YOU ALSO IN THE LIME LIGHT COMING FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS , YOUR HUBBYS CAREER AND YOURS , IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN EASY TO HIDE WHEN YOU WANTED TO , I JUST HOPE THAT THE DAY FOR YOU TO INHALE DEEPLY AND EXHALE SAYING IM DONE I JUST WANT TO BE ME , THAT YOUBWILL REALIZE ALL THE HARD WORK THE SACARFICE , WAS WORTH IT , I FOUND IT AMAZING HOW YOU DEALT WITH THAT FEAR OF LOSING EVERYTHING , BUT YOU DIDNT OVER POWER YOU , YOU ASKED FOR GUIDANCE LISTENED MADE CHANGES AND MOVED ON , CONGRATS , YOUR A PHEONIX
We all knew this year's ago, but she always denied it and lied, now she wants praise for not telling lies to everyone's face
