Courtney Love Confesses Eating Disorder
So, news abound of Courtney Love’s weight loss being eating disorder related. Back in April, it was rumoured that the 44 pound loss that Love was flaunting was due to a gastric bypass band.
Lately, the estimated 52 pounds lost in seven months is apparently owing to an eating disorder.
Love has said that her new physique is resultant of a macrobiotic diet of fish and vegetables, a routine of yoga and use of meal-replacement-type shakes.
But this past weekend she shook fans during a 90 minute performance when half-way through she stripped to a bustier and panties - she was skeletal, apparently. Also during the show, the shock-princess sipped from an Ensure can, commenting that she had to take care of her eating disorder. She later said that she doesn’t have one.
In my opinion, the actress/rocker is just poking at all of the critics who blame most celebrities’ weight losses on eating disorders. Can we not just congratulate her for making changes in her life, trying to make a (nother) fresh start after months of legal and chemically-based issues?

Have you had any such talks with guys?
