Hollywood is obsessed with stars’ weight. Whether they are too skinny, too fat, or change their shape just a little bit, it gets talked about in the tabloids.
For Kelly Osbourne, Hollywood’s weight obsession was tough to bear. From the time she was 17, when she first appeared on TV in Meet the Osbournes, strangers were calling her fat. But these days, she is feeling slim and healthy. So how did Kelly get in shape?
The first step to getting in shape for Kelly was appearing on the TV dance competition Dancing with the Stars. All the exercise she got dancing and training for that show helped her begin to lose weight and get in shape. After the show ended, she continued to exercise at least three times per week. She also tries to eat healthy foods, like fruits and vegetables, instead of things like cookies, cakes, and bread.
Now Kelly is in great shape. And she feels happier and more energetic because of it. She doesn’t want to go back to being in bad shape. But once you’ve gotten in shape, your work isn’t done. You still have to keep exercising and eating right if you want to stay in shape.
What do you do to stay in shape? Do you think that getting in shape is hard?
