"Sometimes the quickest way isn&amp;apos;t the best way. Gastric band surgery helped Sharon Osbourne lose more than a hundred pounds back in 1999, but as she revealed in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, it wasn&amp;apos;t the all-encompassing solution she really needed&amp;#x2014;or even wanted.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I felt [like] such a cheat when I had that band on my stomach, and people are saying, &amp;apos;You look wonderful!&amp;apos;&amp;quot; the Talk co-host, 61, told ET. &amp;quot;And I&amp;apos;d go, &amp;apos;Thank you, I just have to leave and vomit.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nOsbourne&amp;apos;s weight wasn&amp;apos;t even the real issue&amp;#x2014;her struggle with food was. &amp;quot;We all have our own little addictions that we do not in moderation but too much, and mine is food,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;I mean, I am a food addict.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nOver time, she&amp;apos;s learned to control her urges, in part thanks to the low-carb Atkins diet, which she has promoted on TV in recent years. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;d be fibbing if I said I don&amp;apos;t cheat. Because I do cheat,&amp;quot; she confessed. &amp;quot;I cheat a lot on my diet. We all do.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWhat matters, she said, is that she gets back on track. &amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t guilt myself out,&amp;quot; she told ET, &amp;quot;because the next day, I&amp;apos;ll start with my Atkins breakfast sandwich, and I&amp;apos;m right back on it.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
