Courtney Claims To Be Healthy
Courtney Love strikes a pose for the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar and goes on record about her recent weight loss. She’s a shadow of her former self.
“Go check it out. All of the size 8s are gone,” the 43-year-old singer says “I’ve lost a lot of weight, and I have done it through being quite disciplined.”
She claims to have lost the weight by “colonics and fasting” she had done at a clinic several times a year and drinking two diet meal replacement shakes and “fish and macrobiotic food.”
“Some people think it’s about weight loss, but it’s about detoxing,” says Love about her lifestyle change.
The former frontwoman of the rock band Hole — and widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain — says the weight gain came because of a bad breakup and eating too much macrobiotic food.
“My daughter (Frances Bean) and I were kind of going for it because the dessert’s fantastic,” she says. “I put on 30 pounds, and I put on another 15 out of emotional depression. Then I finally get an Italian Vogue cover, and I’m 182 pounds.”
“By the way,” she adds, “I hate reading magazines where the actresses are saying, ‘Broccoli and fish, broccoli and fish.’ You liars. You bulimic liars.”
“For many years, I took pills. I felt like I had this dirty secret,” she says. It’s been 2 years now since her stint in rehab. Let’s hope rockstar mama keeps stays sober and keeps healthy.
