Victoria Beckham Talked About How Motherhood Affected Her Body Image

Businesswoman and singer, Victoria Beckham is nothing short of a role model and an inspiration for millions out there. Apart from being a part of the iconic music group, Spice Girls in the past, the lady is also a current fashion mogul and continues to be the perfect example of success.

What she also is, is a mother to four children along with her equally popular other-half, former football superstar and businessman, David Beckham. The couple, as we know, are parents to 20-year-old Brooklyn, 17-year-old Romeo, and 14-year-old Cruz, and 8-year-old daughter Harper.

In a recent interview with Glamour UK, the lady opened up on the immense impact that motherhood had on her body image. "The older I get, the more I realize what works for me and what doesn't. How working out and eating healthy is key. When you have four children, you accept your body changes," she told the magazine. "And when you have children, it also puts a lot into perspective. You realize they notice everything. I would never sit down with my kids and skip a meal—they need to see that their mum eats healthily—you need to show little people how to be healthy and happy with who they are."

"I expect a lot from my body. I work a lot, I try to be the best professional, the best mother, the best wife and so I have to treat it in the right way—and make sure it has the fuel it needs to work long hours and be a mum, and have the energy to do it all."

"We're so much more educated now about how we eat and the effects of what you put into your body. When I was younger, I didn't realize the effect of simple things like more sleep, drinking more water, eating healthy foods. You know what I would tell my younger self? Not to be afraid of eating lots of healthy fats, as that was something I used to be scared to eat," she recalled. "Eating healthy fats doesn't make you fat! It's good for your skin, nails and hair, especially when you're exercising, which I am, two hours a day in the gym. You just can't build healthy muscle if you aren't eating enough fat and you shouldn't be scared of that" she added.

Indeed some words that need to be taken into account.
