Singer and actress Courtney Love (UPI Photo/Jim Ruymen)The former Hole singer gained weight by binging on macrobiotic food, and only achieved her current slim figure by locking her fridge and replacing meals with diet shakes.Courtney told People magazine: "I gained 40 to 50 pounds on macrobiotic food."I did a photoshoot for Italian Vogue and realised I was 182lbs. At the time I had Gwyneth's cook who does macro food."I thought, it can't make me fat - he's Gwyneth's cook! But I saw those pictures and thought 'Oh my God!' 182 lbs. does not look good on me. Nothing fit."I put the non-Photoshopped pictures on my fridge and had a lock fixed on it. My daughter Frances has her carbs in one drawer. I don't know where it is. I drink shakes and exercise my butt off. No carbs - two shakes and a fish meal. Fish and broccoli really does work!" Now the widow of Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain is selling her pre-diet clothes to raise money for charity.She said: "All my size 6s and 8s are on eBay. Most of the money is going to the Chrysalis Foundation for battered women in Los Angeles. The other is Fair, which is fairness and accuracy in reporting which is a media watchdog group. They're both fabulous." Courtney - who turns 43 on Monday (09.07.07) - also revealed she is desperate to find a new stylist.She said: "I haven't had a stylist in nine years because my old stylist went to Madonna."I've been looking and looking. I'd rather wear a tube top and have my stomach hang out than not have a good stylist."(C) BANG Media International

She looked better before she lost the weight. Have you seen how her skin sags on her like she's 80? Gross. I'd rather be chubby and perfect, with no wrinkles and sags. I'd never look to her as a role model for weightloss and health. She needs to get 'truly' healthy or just go away.
