Transcript

Victoria, you went on a show where they had you step on a scale Yes. And weighed you Yes. In front of a live audience. What do you remember in that moment feeling? Very self conscious. I mean, Brooklyn was six months good, and I was asked to stand on scales. And you can see me literally getting up and standing on some scale. I mean, it was so humiliating. David was there. The camera shifts to him, and he looks a little horrified as well. But back in the day, those things were acceptable. What was the point of all this? I suppose, you know, there is that old school thought process of how quick do you bounce back to your weight after having a baby? I mean, after I bad Brooklyn, I was on the front page of a newspaper a few days afterwards, and there were arrows pointing to every single part of my body and where I had to lose the weight.
