Hollywood is known for its rigorous and wacky diet plans, but TV host Kelly Osbourne says her recent 60-pound weight loss was simply the result of learning how to live comfortably in her own skin.
“People think I lost weight and that’s what made me happier. That’s not true: I had to learn to love myself first,” the Fashion Police star told UK’s Cosmopolitan Body magazine, on stands Dec. 27.
“Losing weight was just one benefit of putting the hard work in and sorting myself out on the inside first through therapy,” Osbourne, 28, continued. “That was one of the scariest times of my life. I swear I’ve never felt more naked, because I had to actually be me and couldn’t mask it.”
Of course, as many health enthusiasts will admit, maintaining weight is even harder than actually shedding the pounds. So, how does Osbourne remain in tip-top shape? By eating in moderation and exercising daily.
“When I started exercising I couldn’t even do one sit-up,” Osbourne said. “By the end of the first week I could do three, and that was a big deal. Now I work out every day and I just don’t feel good if I miss it. It’s amazing how quickly your fitness builds, but you have to really want it.”
Now, Osbourne is ready to show her results to the world — which she does to incredible effect on the cover of Cosmo Body, on which she dons a sexy, low-cut two-piece. Inside, she can also be seen wearing an even sexier set of pink lingerie.
She also stunned the fashion world at the 2012 Emmys, when she stepped onto the red carpet in a custom-made couture gown by Zac Posen — a moment she never thought would actually happen.
“I learned to respect and love myself – something I didn’t think I would ever be capable of,” continued Osbourne. “I put on my dress, and when I looked at myself in the mirror I cried. Never in my life did I think that Zac Posen would fly in a dress for me that he could have given to any nominee. It fit me perfectly!”
Osburne is currently dating vegan chef Matthew Mosshart, with whom she’s seeing for over a year. She can currently be seen opposite the sharp-witted Joan Rivers on E!’s Fashion Police.
