Kelly Osbourne Says She Went 'Too Far' With Weight Loss After Her Son Was Born
"I was like, 'Well, I lost all the baby weight. Let's see how far I can go with it, and then went a little too far," Kelly confessed on the podcast, which wasn’t the only time she had been candid with her fans about feeling pressured to lose weight.
"I'm going to be honest, I felt the pressure of after having the baby to lose the baby weight," she told E! News earlier this month, adding, "It became my mission. I was obsessed with it because I didn't even want to get brought into the conversation, I just wanted to be left alone."
Kelly's transformation was also discussed in a Daily Mail interview, which was published in a September 5th article. Although Kelly admitted that she had done "Botox," she said that the main difference in her appearance is attributed to the weight loss. "Now that I've lost weight, everybody is criticizing and trying to figure out what it is that I've done, and I really just lost some weight," she told the pub, adding, "I've never had any procedure like plastic surgery."
The former Dancing with the Stars contestant did confess that her past gastric sleeve surgery helped her throughout her weight loss journey, but she admitted that it wasn’t easy, and she felt "hungry" a lot of the time!
"It was a lot of work," she told E! News. "It was miserable. I was hungry all the time, but I'm really happy with the results." In her Daily Mail interview, she added: "The road to happiness is different for everybody, and I think that instead of picking apart the journey, they should just be happy that you reached your destination."
Kelly Osbourne Opens Up About Her Weight Loss Surgery
Fans were so shocked by Kelly's figure so soon after the birth of her son that many of them thought she hired a surrogate – which they believed even more as there weren’t any pictures of Kelly with a baby bump. However, Kelly addressed her fans' worries in the comments section of an Instagram post last month, where she flaunted her slim figure in a chic figure-hugging rhinestone-studded black dress, and said: "There are no pictures of me pregnant because I hid for 9 months because I did not want to get fat shamed."
The comments section of that post is where the television personality also opened up about her weight loss surgery, when one fan asked: "What’s your weight loss secret if you don’t mind me asking?" The 7D actress replied: "I had weight loss surgery a few years ago and it completely changed everything. A lot of people don’t like that I did it but it was one of the best decisions I have ever made." Some of the Fashion Police alum‘s followers also asked her about plastic surgery rumors. "Did you have work done on your neck, face?" another user asked. And she dutifully replied: "It’s just from weight loss. Honestly I’ve only had Botox.”
In a 2021 interview with Us Weekly, Osbourne discussed getting weight loss surgery, her sobriety journey and other steps she took to focus on her health and well-being. "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."
She continued: "[People] kept telling me, 'You should do the [gastric sleeve] surgery.' I was so against it… I thought the surgery was a cop-out and that it was like cheating. That couldn’t be further from the truth. What the surgery did was give me a fighting chance."
In 2020, Osbourne noted that she lost 85 pounds after undergoing the procedure in 2018. "I lost, like, I want to say 35 pounds, 40 pounds, and then I stopped losing weight," she confessed to Us Weekly at the time. "I just stopped because I didn’t listen to what they said. I just thought it was going to be a quick fix. I’d be done. I’d be skinny. [I thought I] didn’t have to work out or do anything."
"I could not have been more wrong," she continued, adding, "You have to do every single thing that they tell you to do when you do the surgery, or it doesn’t work." As one fan in her comment section noted, Osbourne's hard work "certainly paid off!"
