The Burning Words From Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham recalled all the outrageous things she had to do in the 90s. That’s when she spoke about the time she had to weigh herself on TV. “I went on a TV show with [host] Chris Evans many years ago and I’d just had Brooklyn and lost a lot of weight after,” Beckham told Vogue Australia in an interview.
In her interview with Evans, he asked, “A lot of girls want to know because you look fantastic again, how did you get back to your shape after birth?” To which she replied, “I’m really lazy. I don’t go down to the gym or anything.” However, Evans refused to believe her and asked her to stand on a weighing scale to which Victoria proclaimed, “This is horrible.”
“Eight stones [112 lbs.] not bad at all, is it?” Evans said to the audience after she hesitantly weighed herself in front of them. In her interview with Vogue, she said, “It happened to my mum after her pregnancies. It doesn’t mean you have an eating disorder. And he made me stand on the scales. Can you imagine that nowadays?”
“I’ve had ‘Porky Posh,’ I’ve had ‘Skeletal Posh,’” she revealed regarding the conversations surrounding her weight that occurred at the time. “After I had Brooklyn, there was a picture pointing to every single part of my body where I had to focus on losing the weight from.”

Victoria Beckham opened up about the issues with her own body. “I think women today want to look healthy and curvy,” she explained. “They want to have some boobs — and a bum. I personally want as good a bottom as I can get.”
“There are a lot of really curvy women in Miami, and they really own it, you know? They walk along Miami beach with not a lot of clothes on, and they look fantastic. They show their bodies off with such confidence. I found both their attitude and their style really liberating,” she continued.
Beckham added, “As a mother, I loved that Harper was around women who were really celebrating their curves and enjoying how they look.” For her, it’s not “about being a certain size.” But it’s about “knowing who you are and being happy with who you are.” Her younger days completely revolved around looking a certain type but nowadays, “I have found my own balance between wanting to have fun and being disciplined about eating healthily and working out.”
