Kelly Osbourne is the December cover girl for Shape Magazine. I have mixed feelings about this. One on side, I’m really happy that Kelly has gotten healthier and that she has achieved her goal of losing weight and keeping it off, and I know she’s really proud of herself, etc. On the other side, I feel like a bitch for thinking to myself “We get it, Kelly, you lost weight and now all you can talk about is how hot you are and how you are competition for all of the hot Hollywood girls, please shut up.” NOW DON’T YELL AT ME. I think she looks great these days, and I’m happy for her. Sigh… whatever. Here are some excerpts from her Shape interview:

Kelly Osbourne on body image: “I was called fat and ugly in the press almost my entire life. I understand that being judged by others comes with the territory, but it broke my heart and ruined my self esteem. It sets you up to hate yourself in a huge way. I was so angry about the things people said about me. I truly believe it’s the main reason I turned to Vicodin and ended up in rehab three times. I just hated myself.”

On diet and exercise: Calling herself an “emotional eater,” Osbourne’s path to healthy living began when she appeared on Dancing with the Stars. Her partner Louis van Amstel filled her in on nutrition habits like eating a high-protein, low-carb diet. “He made me eat turkey burgers and salads…Then I started losing weight and realized, ‘Oh, it’s true what they say: Diet and exercise really work!’”

Continuing the exercise: “My girlfriends and I just started doing plyometrics,” she added. “It’s a killer—it hurts so much. But when you walk out of there, you’re like, ‘I can’t believe I just did that and my body looks this good.’”

Losing 50 pounds over all: “I used to eat chips and cookies and drink soda all day long,” she admitted. “I had to start making better choices. [Now] I indulge with pizza and cheese—I love Brie—and have cookies sometimes. But now, when I’m full? I stop eating! It may have taken me 26 years to figure it out, but I’ve finally learned how to do it right.”

Kelly said she cried when she saw the Shape cover: “I never thought in a million years I’d be that healthy girl who wakes up every morning to exercise,” Kelly says. “I’m rocking a bikini!”

She exercises six days a week: “I just commit to half an hour a day,” says the reality star. “It doesn’t seem overwhelming and I can handle that. I do half an hour on the treadmill and when I feel like doing more, I’ll do a few sit-ups and some weights.”

On being a simple size: “Now every designer will send me anything that I want, and I can’t believe that I am in this situation,” Osbourne gushes. “I opened up all of these zip bags last night from Marchesa — off the runway — and I can’t believe that it fits me.”

Yes, because fitting into the sample size is all that’s important in life. I know that’s not what she was saying, and I don’t think I’ve ever had a moment in my teenage or adult life where I could have ever fit into a simple size, but really? You get to wear some free Marchesa clothes and that makes it all worth it? I’d say getting Marchesa clothes sent to you is a good enough reason to keep some extra weight on. Now, if it was Burberry, my ass would be going to the gym like a fiend too.
