Lily Allen "I Comfort Eat When I'm Not Happy"

Lily Allen has blamed her past weight gain on comfort eating.

The singer, who has slimmed down in the last year, has put her new slim figure down to being much happier in recent times.

"The only reason I've lost weight is because I comfort eat when I'm not very happy." Lily told The Sun. "The last two years, even though I had a lot of success with my first record, I was caning it, getting so drunk."

"I was on tour with people I didn't know and I was all around the world working really hard and was really confused and lonely. I was sitting in hotel rooms ordering chips. Now I feel a lot happier about things and I'm excited about this new record."

"People are being nice in the press and everything feels good so I'm probably not thinking about eating all the time."
