Kirstie Alley obesity

I was so glad to see Kirstie Alley lose her weight and show up in a bikini. That gave a lot of hope to fat women that they could lose weight. Then, I noticed that Alley got fat, and now we have her admitting that she has become one fat cow again. 

How did this happen?


The problem is that despite my saying it again and again diets don't work. They only work as long as you follow them. That is true for Jenny Craig or Weightwatchers or any other fancy diet you choose to follow. So while I would like to say that Kirstie got fat because she was pigging out on butter and pasta, the reality is that we now have solid evidence that Jenny Craig does not work.

Now the good news is that Kirstie wants to get back to her bikini-ready body at 140 lbs, which on her 5'8" frame is a bit ambitious. I think she would be better off trying to shoot for a more realistic weight at which she can be happy, that is, she can occasionally eat what she really wants.
