Victoria Beckham’s emotional confession reveals her hidden battles

Victoria Beckham, who rose to worldwide fame as Posh Spice in the 1990s girl group the Spice Girls, continues to prove herself as a role model for resilience and self-acceptance.

The 51-year-old fashion icon has made a shocking revelation, disclosing the painful truth about her long battle with an eating disorder.

In her Netflix documentary, she opened up about the years she spent feeling “not good enough.”

“I never talked about it publicly. It really affects you when you’re being told constantly that you’re not good enough, and I suppose that’s been with me my whole life,” she confessed.

The former pop star admitted she became “very good at lying” to hide her struggles from her family.

Victoria’s issues with her weight reportedly began during theatre school, where she faced harsh comments about her appearance.

Her father, Tony Beckham, recalled: “Obviously it would upset her.”

A close friend told The Sun that her younger years were marked by extreme dieting and obsessive exercise, even reaching “borderline anorexic” levels.

She allegedly replaced solid food with liquids and would binge-eat cereal after being pressured to lose weight by management.

The friend added that her decision to speak out now is a sign of her growth, describing the documentary as “like therapy” for her.

“She doesn’t blame anyone else for her problems, and she shows that hard work leads to success,” they said.
