Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Lily Allen admits to having issues with eating
Caption:
The English singer lives in the U.S. with husband David Harbour and her two children from her first marriage. Showing off a noticeably slender frame in recent years, Lily previously attributed her body to her sobriety as well as saying she often "forgot to eat". However, she has now admitted there is more to it than that. Speaking on her and best friend Miquita Oliver's podcast Miss Me?, she opened up "I've been going through a tough time over the last few months and my eating has become an issue.”. "My therapist and I talk about it and she says, 'How long has this been going on?' And I said, 'Well, about three years really.' And she's like, 'OK, why haven't you mentioned it before?' And it's not because I'm lying about it. It's just because it's not seemed at the top of the list of important things that I need to talk about, but obviously it is.". Continuing to say she lacks the skills to talk about the "bigger picture", Lily, who didn't expand on what's troubling her right now mused that she thinks her ADHD could be to blame as her brain doesn't link things to do with her mind and body together. The 39-year-old revealed her ADHD diagnosis, defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a person's behaviour, last year. "My body and my brain are two very separate things to me. I know a lot of people feel those two things are very connected to each other, but for me it's very different. I spend a lot of time in my head, and not a lot of time thinking about my body.”. "I'm really not in a great place mentally at the moment, and I'm not eating. I'm not hungry. I obviously am hungry, but my body and brain are so disconnected from each other that my body... the messages of hunger are not going through my body to my brain.”. "I'm not avoiding food, I'm just not thinking about it because I'm so in my head. My body's, like, a few steps behind me."
