Hot Momma Geri Halliwell shows off her beach body in Mexico

Geri Hallliwell has done her first bikini photoshoot in seven years, during a two-week holiday in Las Alamandas in Mexico with two-year-old daughter Bluebell. In a new interview and spread for British magazine Hello! the Spice Girl is seen proudly showing off her curves in a tiny white swim suit. The 36-year-old has battled eating disorders throughout her career but is adamant she is now fit and well after giving birth to her daughter Bluebell in 2006. In a candid interview Geri revealed how she still worries about her figure but is no longer image obsessed:

“People think I’m really confident but I do get self-conscious like many women about stripping off in public. I haven’t been willingly photographed in a bikini for seven years – and I don’t think I’ll do it again. At the moment I’m a bit curvier having done the tour so it was a big mental step forward for me to show my natural self rather than my worked-out honed self.”

Geri admits that living with her inner-demons is a constant battle but insists she is now happy with her healthy eating regime.

“I did strive to have my most perfect body and in moments when I lack confidence that voice is always there waiting to tell me ‘You are not good enough do better’ but I’m more conscious of it. It used to be the loudest voice in my head but now I just tell it ‘Shut up’.”

Geri, who has never married, also admitted shying away from intimate relationships.

“I definitely have commitment issues,” she said, “It is lovely to be with somebody and find a connection and by intimate and open. That is wonderful but I have learnt there are also minuses to that. As a single person I have learned to cope by myself and I have my own habits. Allowing someone into my life is a huge adjustment.”
