London: Pop singer Lily Allen has revealed that she was suffering from an eating disorder when she paraded a slender new figure in 2009, reports DNA.


The singer posed for a series of sexy photoshoots after losing weight, which she put down to a healthy diet andexercise regime.

But Allen, who has long struggled with body image issues, has confessed she was throwing up after meals to maintain her trim waistline.

"There was a point in summer 2009 where I'd say I had an eating disorder. I used to vomit after meals," the Daily Express quoted her as telling in a new TV show, Lily Allen: From Riches to Rags, recorded last year.

"It is not something I am proud of. But I tell you what, a lot of people used to come up to me and tell me how great I looked. And I was on the cover of every magazine with them saying, 'Lily is looking amazing - look how much weight she has lost!'" I thought I looked good.

"It was great to try on clothes and walk out of the shop feeling a million dollars. When you have been a victim of people saying the complete opposite, you want more of it.

"I wasn't happy, I really wasn't. I would like to be the skinniest, mini-est person in the world, but I know I can't do that without being unhappy. I like my food," she said.

And the star has no plans to stay in the public eye forever - insisting she wants a quaint family life rather than a long lasting career like Madonna.

"My idea of hell would doing this in 25 years' time. I don't want to be like Madonna - look at her, she's mental. No offence but that is not what drives me. I want to get married and have kids and make sandwiches cutting the crusts off," the singer added.
