Sharon Osbourne is still battling bulimia after 35 years with the eating disorder, she revealed on Monday.
Sharon, 52, told the Sun newspaper she gorges on pasta and ice cream before forcing herself to be sick.
The mother of three has had her stomach stapled and spent £300,000 (approximately $532,000) on cosmetic surgery but said even this had not cured her of the condition.
She still has impulsive eating binges and makes herself sick once a week, although this is down from a staggering four times a day.
She said: "Some people do drink and drugs but for me it's food, food, food. It's about having low self-esteem. It's not socially acceptable to be fat — people take the piss out of you."
The petite star, who is only 5 ft 2 in, said she weighed 16 stone 5 lbs (227 pounds) years ago.
She said: "I literally had to lift the rolls of fat off my belly to wash under it, that's how fat I was. How bad is that? Ozzy loved me as I was — but I didn't."
She has since lost half her body weight by having her stomach stapled and then had eight operations including a tummy tuck, boob job and facelift.
But she revealed the disorder which started when she was a teenager is still a part of her life.
She said: "I'm still bulimic. It's bad but I'm really trying to get better. I stuff myself with food like ice cream and pasta then rush to the loo and make myself sick."
