British glam girl and pop star Cheryl Cole recently resolved to gain weight in the new year after her stick-thin frame caused an outcry from her fans. But Cole, 25, admits to reporters that things weren't always this way -- the singer has done her fair share of dieting. Her approach of choice? She goes low carb with the Atkin's diet when her weight gets a bit out of control. Keep in mind that, for Cole, being heavy means having a 29-inch waist. Good Lord.

"In the first year of Girls Aloud, I went up to a 29in waist. I remember crying because I was 133lbs when I'm only 5ft 3in," she says. "Jennifer Aniston was doing the Atkins diet at the time and I thought I'd give it a try. I remember I ate the same thing -- chicken in cream sauce with a couple of carrots -- every night for weeks. I felt just horrible, but I was on this mission."

Cheryl, honey, 133 lbs is not worth crying over.
