Lily Allen is an extremely successful singer. She is best known for her songs, “Smile”, “Alfie”, “The Fear”, and “F You.” Allen shared a new set of photos on Instagram recently. In the first photo, she posed in a white shirt and black pants. Allen captioned the post, “LA in LA.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lily Allenstays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
Allen is open about her struggles with mental health. She revealed to Cosmopolitan that she is prioritizing what makes her happy. “Look, happiness for me is your first E at Glastonbury – that’s the happy place. I don’t think I’ve ever had that base level of happiness. What I see as being happy is that fake level of happiness because that’s what I’ve had from the spike in endorphins or whatever.”
In an interview with Balance, Allen talked about going to therapy. “I’ve been seeing the same guy for about 10 years. It’s a good place to vent and process things you wouldn’t articulate to your family. He knows about my past relationships, my back story, so if I changed therapist every couple of years, I’d find it really difficult to have to re-cover old ground.”
Allen makes sure to eat healthy. She opened up about the foods she avoids in an interview on the Off Menu podcast. “I’m not really up for food mass production and consumption of food. I think it’s touring and dancing and probably, you know, the not wanting to eat room service thing. I don’t really like food being mass produced, you look at those kitchens and they’re huge, just I don’t like it.”
Allen opened up about getting sober to Glamour. “I was thinking, I think I have got a drinking problem. I remember being in LA and thinking, none of this acting out is working any more. Maybe I should try heroin. But I had been in a scene where I had seen what happens to people who use heroin, and knew that when that thought popped into my head it was time to confront my demons. That was about five years ago. And I started recovery.”
When it comes to her mental health, Allen is prioritizing recovery. She tells Balance that she avoids labels for this reason. “I think labels themselves don’t matter. Whether it’s bipolar, ADHD, depression, anxiety disorder, whatever, it’s the same solution; work on yourself, keep talking and maintain healthy relationships with people and things.”
