AceShowbiz - Lily Allen has candidly shared details of her mental health struggles, revealing that she has stopped eating and is not in a good place mentally. Speaking on her podcast "Miss Me?", where she is joined by her best friend Miquita Oliver, the 39-year-old singer discussed how it has affected her eating habits.

"I've been going through a tough time over the last few months, and my eating has become an issue," Allen said. "My therapist and I talk about it, and she's like, 'How long has this been going on?'" Allen goes on to explain that her eating disorder has been going on for about three years and that she has not previously mentioned it because it did not seem like a pressing issue.

"I'm not really good at talking about the bigger picture. That's something about my ADHD as well, that I don't link things," Allen said. She also acknowledged the disconnect between her body and brain, stating, "My body and my brain are two very separate things to me."

Allen emphasized that her body's hunger cues are not reaching her brain and that she forgets to eat due to being so preoccupied with her thoughts. She also shared that she is not a fan of fast food due to her "anti-capitalist way of thinking of eating" and struggles to eat meals that have not been "ordered and made for me."

In addition to her mental health challenges, Allen discussed the impact of moving to New York with her children and husband David Harbour. She explained that her decision to relocate stemmed from a desire to provide a more encouraging environment for her daughters' growth.

"Just an example of that would be when I decided to do a play even though I'd never acted before and certainly didn't have any experience in the theater. When I would tell Americans about it, they'd be like, 'Oh my God, that's so exciting! You're gonna learn so much, you're gonna kill it!' And then when I'd tell English people about it, they'd be like, 'A play? Have you ever done that before? Aren't you scared?'" Allen said, highlighting the cultural differences between the two countries.

Despite her struggles, Allen expressed her love for food and acknowledged that her eating disorder is not a reflection of her feelings towards it. "I love food. I love eating, but I'm just not very good at remembering to do things," she concluded.
