Posh Spice's Eating Disorder

Back when Victoria Beckham was known as Posh Spice she suffered from an eating disorder: "I became obsessed with what I looked like. I would look in the mirror and check the size of my bottom, see if my double chin was getting smaller.

"I began living on vegetables and nothing else. But it never occurred to me that I had an eating disorder."

Beckham told Heat magazine that when she was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries in the 1990’s and was advised to eat a more varied diet.

"It freaked me out having to eat proper food because I hadn’t for so long.

"I do control my eating [now]. But I think there is a big difference between someone having an eating disorder and someone who is controlled about what they eat."
