Lily Allen’s fat mirror
Posted: February 9, 2010 at 12:45 pm
Lily Allen suffers from ‘body dysmorphia’.
The ‘Not Fair’ singer – whose weight has fluctuated over the years – always thinks she she’s fat when she looks in the mirror and compares herself to overweight ‘Pop Idol’ winner Michelle McManus, who once tipped the scales at 322lbs.
Lily said: ‘Ask me, What do you see when you look in the mirror in the morning?’ and I’ll be like, ‘Someone who is more overweight than I actually am.’
‘It’s body dysmorphia. I honestly think I look like Michelle McManus or something.’
Lily also hit out at the fashion world saying they promote unhealthy lifestyles in a bid for everyone to be slim.
She told LOVE magazine: ‘The reason the fashion world has embraced me is because I lost a stone-and-a-half last year. They probably wouldn’t have when I was heavier.
‘I’ve been on shoots where it’s been ‘Lunchtime! OK, Lily, do you want a cigarette?’ instead of eating lunch. Don’t make me feel guilty about the way I look.
‘Compare me to Kate Moss and all of those supermodels and, yes, I probably am on the podgy side. But in reality I’m fine.’
