Kelly Osbourne has opened up on the struggles her body went through in the aftermath of going sober.
Kelly Osbourne Opens Up On Her Weight Problems After Going Sober
The star recently admitted to having a relapse, after staying off alcohol and drugs for a period of 4 years. Although she reassured fans that she was taking action to address things immediately, they remain unaware as to the exact extent of Kelly’s struggles. In an interview with Us Weekly, she said: “I got sober. I replaced drugs and alcohol with food, my body metabolized differently.
“Once I got sober, and I gained weight uncontrollably, it was insane.” That added weight quickly began to show. She admitted, in the past, to having men turn her down simply because of her weight. Such a remark can have a crushing blow on anyone, let alone someone who has to deal with substance abuse issues.
However, the prospect of turning to the traditional methods of exercise and discipline were not working. That is why Kelly decided to do something radical and undertake surgery. She added: “[People] kept telling me, ‘You should do the surgery.’ I was so against it. … I thought the surgery was a cop-out..That couldn’t be further from the truth.”
Although it did make a quick difference, it was no substitute for the discipline that she was seeking to avoid. That kick-started Kelly into changing her whole diet and made her come up with a strict workout routine. The added expectation of being in the public limelight had left Kelly with no alternative but to face her demons.
Nevertheless, by doing so, she continued to remain her own woman. She noted: “I know I’m a smart woman. I can make money doing anything if I wanted to. It’s just, the only thing I’m actually really good at is just being myself.” Kelly knows exactly what she wants, and following her recent relapse, she admitted to getting things back on track.
While she will have to continuously live with the thought that she could have a relapse at any time, it has not stopped her from living her life. Kelly has grown a lot in the last few years and ultimately for the better.
