The fashion designer shared that she was “weighed on national television when Brooklyn was 6 months old.”

“‘Get on those scales’… ‘Have you lost the weight?’ We laugh about it and we joke about it when we’re on television, but I was really, really young and that hurts. I really started to doubt myself and not like myself because I let it affect me. I didn’t know what I saw when I looked in the mirror. You lose all sense of reality. I’ve been everything from ‘Porky Posh’ to ‘Skinny Posh’.”

Victoria says having an eating disorder made her “very good at lying.”

“It really reflects you when you’re being told constantly you’re not good enough. And I suppose that’s been with me my whole life,” she says.

Also in the docuseries, the mom-of-four revealed why she always looks “miserable” in her photographs.
