Anxiety and self-confidence are funny things. On the surface, it seems like Lucy Mecklenburgh has it all. She’s drop-dead gorgeous, is running a successful business and is in a committed relationship with lovely bloke Ryan Thomas.
But it appears that still waters run deep, as Lucy has penned an emotional blog post detailing her battles with anxiety and the feeling that she’s not good enough.
The star may have found fame on reality TV, but has decided her calling is as a fitness guru, teaching others how to get in shape through diet and exercise.
And she clearly practices what she preaches, as she’s never looked better!
However, Lucy’s lifted the lid on what life is like in the limelight, where you’re constantly under pressure to look your best and succeed no matter what.
She wrote, in the piece for Huffington Post: “Throughout my adolescence I struggled with self-belief. A lack of confidence is responsible for many of us never reaching our full potential – instead of challenging ourselves and moving forward with what we want in life, we allow these fears, worries and doubts to lead us to live a life in the shadows of others, a life of untapped potential and a life fuelled by anxiety.
