Courtney Love says she was addicted to the idea of perfection, but is kicking the habit."[The] addiction to the idea of 'perfection' has infested my life in the past and I'm over it," she writes on the moonwashedrose.com . "It's never, thank God, infected my music but it has affected my outward appearance and self-esteem."
In the rambling entry she refers to herself as a "Beverly Hills mom housewife who likes to tour."
"I seriously feel like a caged lion who has been in her cage way too long," writes Love who is currently working on a new album. "But I need to clean up this old reputation and these guys all love the record but I need them to see I'm not off the rails anymore."
In her post, Love addresses the her recent weight loss. "I see these pics and something must be wrong with me 'cos I know what I weigh and I still don't feel quite thin enough," she writes. "I'm going to go for 10 more pounds and then I'll maintain at that.
"I'm doing weight training and Pilates and more tough stuff so I can tone more. You lose this much weight and get saggy skin and I'm in no mood for saggy anything, thank you very much," she adds. "So I need to firm up and get my butt in shape and tummy and arms, and do the heavy lifting. ... I'm a rock star and my job isn't to be perfect."
Love hopes her experiences can help others.
"I'm really determined to be a source of strength and inspiration to anyone who's really been to the bottom of hell and lived to tell and come back again," she writes, "as an integrated whole person who celebrates my own flaws and is non-judgmental of others' wounds or craziness."
