Victoria Beckham has eaten the same meal for 25 years

She is a weird person. I really wonder how she is a parent. Like how do you parent kids to experience fun things if you yourself only eat fish and vegetables and the occasional bite of dry toast?

I read once years ago - soon after the spice girls broke up, or maybe while they were still together - that she doesn't like her face when she smiles, so that's why she's never seen smiling (it must have been a story about her "presence" as Posh spice - the stark looks she always gave). Anyway, for what would be decades now every time I see anything about her I immediately look at her face to see if she is smiling. I mean I'm not obsessive about it, so I can't say this with 100% certainty, but it really seems like this person does not smile.

I thought I read it started because she didn’t like her teeth or smile but then it was because she wanted to minimize wrinkles. I think of that often. As in, I’m happy to have wrinkles from smiles but try to reduce the negative faces I make because who needs those lines??

Food wise, I imagine it’s just easier to maintain control when there are no options. Not saying it’s healthy but I can see how it’s easier than making those decisions each day, being tempted because you don’t have a set meal plan etc.

I am usually the one telling people to lighten up and let people eat less-nutritionally-dense food and gain weight if that's what they want to do, but wow, you people are harsh.

She is eating the way she wants. I too have heard the rumors that she and her husband are just lovely, kind people, and it sounds as though she isn't passing her disordered eating on to her children, so what's it to you? All the "Oh, poor her, what a way to live" sounds like concern trolling.

The joyless.

I worked with a guy like this. His lunches were depressing. When asked he said it was just fuel.

I always thought her name a misnomer. She's not posh. But she's what a working class woman thinks a posh woman should be like, which is ironic as her tastes and habits are extremely very non-posh.

I disagree with the bolded statements. This seems like pretty normal gossip board discussion.

Actually, now that I think about it I worked with a guy that ate a salad and snickers bar for lunch every day. But I don't think that's too odd because it's just easier when it comes to packing a work lunch. I always assumed he ate differently on the weekends or other no-work days.

I definitely know people that just don’t enjoy food much so if she found a nutritionally balanced meal that works for her, that seems fine to me. Some people like to wear the same clothes every day, or watch the same tv shoes year after year. Not everyone likes variety. And if it is an eating disorder, then I’m glad she at least found a nutritionally dense compromise. For some people with mental illnesses, the best result is finding an adaptation that will allow you to function effectively. It’s not like she’s subsisting on celery and water.

Victoria Beckham and Anderson Cooper both seem fit, proper weight, energetic and happy, so......

IDK.. Cooper's mom had some serious mental health issues. I don't know if that impacted him.

In honor of Victoria’s wasted life and taste buds, I just slowly savored a slice of cake.

Life is short. Enjoy the small pleasures

But did it make you smile a toothy grin?

Is that lunch too?

She never eats butter, oil or sauces.

I’m alone in my office, so I think that would make me look a little crazy. But I’ll give a big toothy grin to my daughter when she gets off the bus today.

I guess it's working for her.

Lots of negative responses here.

I see that and think "wow, thats discipline."
