Victoria Beckham is a little happier since moving to Los Angeles.

She’s sporting a new haircut, eating more and working out. In a recent interview she says that her life has changed dramatically over the past few years and that’s been something to smile about.

“I worked hard, kept my head down, looked after the kids, looked after David and quietly got on with my fashion work. And now, sitting here today, I feel so proud of what I’ve achieved. I’ve just got back from New York Fashion Week where the dresses I’ve designed got really positive feedback. The response has been absolutely mind blowing, I couldn’t have asked for more.

“And we’ve just had some great news from our fragrance business — it’s now worth £109million at retail, and we haven’t even scratched the surface in America with that yet — that’s not including my jeans or sunglasses range. So things are really positive for me and I feel so content. I feel proud of myself because I’ve worked for it and, let’s face it, I don’t have to.”

She adds, “I’m so content I’ve even been smiling a bit these days.”

Something we aren’t used to.

Victoria goes on and on about her success and her companies, reminding us of what a hard worker she is.

“You know, I could just go shopping every day and sit on my bum. I could do what half these people do in here — sit and have lunch and go shopping, but I’d be so bored. I don’t even go shopping any more.”

Regarding her svelte figure Posh says she stays slim the healthy way these days. By eating healthy and working out. She says she even eats toast for breakfast these days.

Oooohhh, now that’s living fat!

“I run four miles, seven days a week. I feel energized and healthy. There are really nice gyms here and I just enjoy it. I need that self-discipline to get up in the morning, drop the kids off at school then go to the gym. I can think properly then go home and do some work. But I do feel so much better. David puts music on my iPod and Gordon Ramsay bought me trainers where you have a little chip so you can clock how far you’re running.”

“I am eating more. I think you do eat more when you’re working out. And you want to eat healthily, so it’s good all round.”

Recently a gossip rag claimed the secret to Victoria’s slim figure was diet pills. Infuriated, she decided to take legal action and is awaiting her day in court.

“Lots of young girls do look up to me, and I just think it’s ludicrous that they can completely make something like that up. You have to take these things really seriously. There are young girls out there who will think it’s cool to take slimming tablets. Things like that are dangerous and we were furious with it.”

Despite the drama Posh says she is the happiest she has ever been.

“I can genuinely say I’m content and happy at the moment. I don’t really give a sh*t what people think about me. I’m more grown up now and I’ve learned not to care so much what people say. It feels fantastic that everything I’ve worked so hard for over the past five years is coming together. I’ve been on the covers of Vogue, I’m respected in the fashion industry, and Anna Wintour takes my calls.”
