The former Spice Girl-turned-designer defended her super skinny frame by telling the source, "I have a healthy diet, a healthy lifestyle and plenty of energy to run after my three energetic boys and travel the world managing my fashion business."
While we're not casting any judgments on whether Posh actually eats well or not, we do wonder whether running a fashion biz adds any weight to her defense.
After all, the fashion industry isn't particularly forgiving of a bigger waistline-- as young designer Mark Fast discovered when he lost his stylist and casting director.
Beckham also commented on her social responsibility, saying to the site, "I appreciate there are young girls and women who look at me as a role model and it is untrue to say I do not eat and I am unhealthy."
Posh has been seen around London Fashion Week (svelte as ever) rocking dresses from her own eponymous line (see above right).
What do you think? Does Victoria speaking out make it easier on girls who consider her a role model? Or is it just another chance for her to get some publicity? Let us know in a comment below.
Victoria isn't the only news coming out of London Fashion Week. The event celebrated it's 25th anniversary this year!

I was lucky enough to never have been overweight in my life. That all ended after the birth of my second child. I got down to 20 pounds over my normal weight but no matter what I did I couldn't lose the rest. I didn't know if was age catching up with me or if somehow my metabolism changed. Whatever the reason, nothing was working. I tried all the bogus "diet" pills that we see all over the internet, but are just scams. All I ever lost with that stuff was money. One of my friends, knowing what I was going through, told me that she had been losing weight using a special plan http://bit.ly/FatLoss4You It laid out the facts in a way I never saw before and had easy to follow meal plans and diets. Not only have I lost the weight and kept it off but I'm leading a healthier lifestyle, mostly from the knowledge I gained from this amazing program.
