Kelly Osbourne checked into rehab for drug and alcohol addiction three times.
But the singer, 25, tells the new Us Weekly (on newsstands now): "I took more hell for being fat than I did for being an absolute raging drug addict. I will never understand that."

The 5-foot-2 Osbourne, who once weighed "almost 160" pounds, recalls walking down the street one day and "some horrible obnoxious teenager screamed out a car window to me, 'You're fat!'" she tells Us Weekly. "I went to my parents [Sharon and Ozzy] bawling, 'I would rather be called ugly than be called fat!'"

She tells Us Weekly she "hated" herself because of her weight and "never wanted to do anything to fix it ... For a very long time, Mrs. Field's salted cookies were my favorite thing in the world ... It's hard to get out of a hole you've dug so deeply."

Today, after years of yo-yo dieting, Osbourne has lost 42 pounds the healthy way -- through regular exercise and a portion-controlled diet.
"I'm really proud to look in the mirror and not hate every single thing I see," she tells Us Weekly. "I no longer think, Why don't I look like this girl or that girl?"

110Congrats to Kelly and Jack who are both beautiful products from two hardworking and loving parents and all that happened with them was them having rich parents allowing them to be able to get whatever they wanted when they wanted and that also applied to there eating habits. However with the support of two rocking parents and finally be sick and tired of being sick and tired of there weight and image and oh lets not forget there age mid 20's, there all grown up now making better choices for themselves. Everyone that has something negative to say about something so positive that someone has been able to accomplish is nothing but ignorant and envious. I'd just like to say to Sharon â??youâ??re an awesome mom " and it shows thru all the things you do even while youâ??re a judge for "Americas got Talent". You're a sweetheart and your two babies are all grown up. Thatâ??s what you get when you rock as parents.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know - it's better to be a child molester than fat. This appears to be true even though there are several genetic diseases that cause weight gain. Disclaimer: I'm not calling Kelly Osbourne a "child molester, just making an observation.
Some of you really need to grow up! Your exactly like those people she mentioned in the article! Clearly you have nothing better to do then put down people who have accomlished great things in their life! In my opinion, until youve been there and felt the way she did you have no say in this! I congratulate Kelly for her amazing new look and not just because she looks awesome but also because she now feels good about herself! WAY TO GO KELLY!
DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS ARE HER DIET PLAN!
some of you people are heartless & have no life so all you do is talk crap about other people..
now that her body is really small her head looks really big. what's up with that. is there no flush the fat pill that she can use to reduce the size of her head
probably used drugs to loose the rolls
Congratulations Kelly! I`ve been seeing alot of people famous who are losing weight! I`ts very inspiring and to see how she was pudgier and now shes slim and trim!!! I can`t wait to lose wight!! You need balance exercise and eat healthy and you`ll lose weight! =)
I congradulate Kelly on her wt. loss. It's wonderful she reached her goal while still at peak of youth, when it is really gratifying 2 b thin! I have concerns re this agressive progam Mrs. Obama is starting. Many concerned Dr's are also asking us not to embrace Obama or any diet plan for kids, w/out careful investigation of pro's & cons for each child. Eating disorders are very real outcome of anti-obesity plan. As Kelly relates, it is very heartbreaking for the kids & their families.
Wow Kelly looks AMAZING!!! Way to go girl!
she looks awesome
Looking good Kelly. Keep it up.
i love kelly osbourne--she has matured through the dwts show! i, for one, am happy for her weight lose--she's simply beautiful!!!!
Way to go Kelly. You look FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!
Weight Loss surgery is the ultimate assistant to portion control...I really wish celebrities would be open and honest with the public about taking this safe and often times NECESSARY route...after all...her own mother admitted to having it done! C'mon Kelly, it's no longer taboo to admit to having undergone WLS!
whenever i used to see her pics, i used to think "dang this girl should lose weight" and not because i have anything against her but because i knew she'd look great cause she's got a cute face, and she does! well done girl!
thats because most people in tinsel town are on drugs...drugs to stay thin...the ones that arent are using starbucks and ciggarettes to stay thin
I have always thought Kelly was beautiful - I would KILL to have her skin!- but now she is a knockout! What makes her beautiful is she has always looked like herself & has never subscribed to what Hollywood says is "beautiful" or accepted. She is phenomenol!!
You go Kelly..you look amazing!
She looks terrific now. Good for her for being brave and fixing the issues she has had. It is no small feat.
