Some women gain as much as extra 5 pounds before and after pregnancy while there are some that lose weight immediately after childbirth, there are also those that remain the same both before pregnancy and after pregnancy, God knows best. But having a new mother weigh herself on Live TV just to prove what we don’t know is by every means outright embarrassing.
Victoria Beckham — On How She Was Weighed In On Live TV
Although this happened way back in 1999, Victoria still recalls it like it was yesterday, would you blame her? In an interview she had with Vogue Australia on Tuesday, Victoria finally spoke out about what happened to her on the British Talk Show TRI Friday hosted by Chris Evans.
“I went on a TV show with Chris Evans many years ago and I’d just had Brooklyn and lost a lot of weight after,” she explained. “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 to be weighed.”
She asked, “Can you imagine doing that nowadays?”
In the resurfaced interview, Evans asked Victoria how her fitness routine had been since giving birth to her son, saying, “A lot of girls want to know, because you look fantastic again, how did you get back to your shape after birth?” With that Victoria replied, “I’m really lazy. I don’t go down to the gym or anything.”
Evans continued the interview by asking if her weight was “back to normal” which she affirmed. Apparently, Evans wasn’t satisfied with Victoria’s response so he pulled out a scale from behind his desk and asked, “Can I check, do you mind?”
Victoria replied, “This is horrible” before stepping on the scale. After seeing her weight, Evans said, “Eight stones [112 lbs.] not bad at all, is it?”
Victoria Beckham – Wants Her Daughter Harper To Embrace Her Body
In an interview with Grazia in May, Victoria revealed how her perspective on body image has changed “It’s an old-fashioned attitude, wanting to be really thin. I think women today want to look healthy, and curvy. They want to have some boobs — and a bum,” she told the outlet, noting that personally, she wants “as good a bottom as I can get.”
Recalling a recent trip she made to Miami where she saw other women embracing their curves, she hoped her daughter Harper would follow their footsteps when she comes of age.
“There are a lot of really curvy women in Miami, and they really own it, you know?” she said. “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. And as a mother, I loved that Harper was around women who were really celebrating their curves and enjoying how they look.”
Victoria shared she’s now found a balance with her health and fitness journey, saying, “It’s not about being a certain size,” she explained. “It’s about knowing who you are and being happy with who you are. I have found my own balance between wanting to have fun and being disciplined about eating healthily and working out. When you’re younger you fight against that balance.”
