Victoria Beckham reflects on eating disorder and media criticism

Victoria Beckham gets honest about her eating disorder, revealing how adversely it affected her life.

In the Netflix docuseries titled Victoria Beckham, the Spice Girl alum shared her experience constantly living with the condition.

“I was weighed on national television when Brooklyn was 6 months old,” she explained.

Victoria also recalled the time when media was crucial toward her image right after giving birth to her eldest son.

"'Get on those scales’... 'Have you lost the weight?' We laugh about it and we joke about it when we're on television, but I was really, really young and that hurts," she reminisced.

The 51-year-old fashion designer shared that she really started to doubt herself and didn’t like the way she looked.

“I didn't know what I saw when I looked in the mirror. You lose all sense of reality. I’ve been everything from ‘Porky Posh’ to ‘Skinny Posh,'" she said.

Elsewhere, Victoria also admitted that because of her disorder, she became “very good at lying” and that she “was never honest” with her parents about what turmoil she was dealing with.

She felt like she was “controlling” the media’s criticism of her image in an “incredibly unhealthy way.”

"It really reflects you when you’re being told constantly, you’re not good enough. And I suppose that’s been with me my whole life,” the mom of four concluded.
