Confidences: Lily Allen admits to having eating problems

Lily Allen is having trouble feeding herself at the moment. The British singer explained in the podcast “Miss Me?” that this problem could in particular be linked to a neurological disorder, because of which his “body is a few steps behind” his brain.

Lily Allen admitted she was going through a ‘tough time’ where she ‘wasn’t eating’.

The singer lives in the United States with her husband David Harbor and two children from her first marriage, but recently hit the headlines after saying she was growing tired of men.

The “Smile” singer also appears thinner than usual in recent years. A figure that she previously attributed to her sobriety and the fact that she “often forgot to eat”.

However, in a recent episode of the podcast “Miss Me?” from her best friend Miquita Oliver, the pop star suggested that this detail could well have a deeper origin.

“I have been going through a difficult period for a few months and my diet has become a problem,” she confided. “With my therapist, we talk about it and she says to me, “How long has this been going on?” I tell him, “It’s been about three years.” And she says to me, “OK, why didn’t you talk about this before?” And it’s not because I’m lying. It just didn’t seem high on the list of important things to talk about, but obviously it is.

Assuring that she does not have the necessary skills to talk about the “big picture”, Lily Allen, who did not expand on what concerns her at the moment, suggested that her attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity (ADHD) could be to blame, because his brain does not make the connection between things related to his mind and his body.

Last year, the 39-year-old revealed her diagnosis with ADHD, defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a person’s behavior.

“My body and my brain are two very separate things to me. I know a lot of people think these two things are very related to each other, but to me it’s very different. I spend a lot of time in my head, and not a lot of time thinking about my body,” the singer said.

“I’m really not in a good place mentally right now, and I’m not eating. I’m not hungry. I’m obviously hungry, but my body and my brain are so disconnected from each other that my body…hunger messages don’t get through my body to my brain. I don’t avoid food, I just don’t think about it because I’m too much in my head. My body is a few steps behind me.
