Wynonna Judd performing at The ASCAP American Troubadour Award ceremony, held at The Cannon House Office Building. Washington DC, USA - 13.03.2007

The larger-than-life singer is a self-proclaimed food addict, but she hopes her most recent stint at the Shades of Hope recovery centre in Texas will help her conquer her over-eating disorder.

She tells the new issue of Ladies Home Journal, "I spent my 43rd birthday back at Shades of Hope for a weeklong intensive session. I was having some challenges in my recovery. Sometimes you have to leave and go off.

"I've learned a lot about my ability to be co-dependent for my own happiness. I have enabled people. I've kept people on the payroll thinking I was going to help them and actually they got sicker and it wasn't until I let them go that they sought help.

"I finally get it: 'OK, I'm 43, my name's Wynonna, and I'm a recovering entertainer.'"
