Kirstie Alley: 'I Gained 83 Pounds' And Love Butter

people.com:

Today, Alley says she is primed to hire a trainer, toss the butter and sign up for a triathlon in order to whittle her "schlumpy" figure back down to a bikini-ready 140 lbs. "I'm going to have to work harder than last time," she says, but "I'm way excited." In a candid interview, Alley sat down with PEOPLE's Elizabeth Leonard to talk about how she piled on the pounds -- and how she plans to get her body, confidence and -- yes! --even her groove back.

Okay, how did this happen?
It started with New Year's [2008], right after leaving Jenny Craig. When you're a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, there's responsibility. You have a person every week standing over you when you get on the scale, and I did it naked because those panties could weigh 30 lbs.! It was amazingly successful. But the first nail in the coffin was that I didn't have to weigh in. I just sort of went wild.

[Gabblog]

And who really cares about this has-been comedian???

[MsIrisMG]

Me.

Awwww!

Every legitimate diet should start with a psychological evaluation. There are obviously some mental difficulties going on here. Unless, Kirstie has a thyroid or pituatory gland problem, she just eats too much. Her admitted love for "BUTTER" will continue to derail any chance she has of losing weight and keeping it off. No doubt everyone likes to eat, everyone. But Kirstie eats to dangerous, her weight has all the possibility of leading her to diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, kidney failure and high blood pressure. She also may be experiencing or have to face back, knee and ankle problems down the road. When a persons health is at risk due to their lifestyle choices the importance of a psychological evaluation is "REAL". No diet will work if it doesn't change the way a person sees food. If we don't learn to recognize what is right, wrong or has the potential of bringing harm to our health, we'll never figure out how to lose weight and keep it off.

She's beautiful fat or thin.

[rzan1]

Fat or not, she looks great for 58 years old. She is very pretty.

[Ellyllon]

She is pretty - but I liked her a lot better with dark hair.

[whoknew---]

I loved her hair, why did she do the blonde thing?

[GoodFeathers]

Whenever I see her on TV, she looks like a B33tch who had a good F.K the previous night and showed up for the interview .

[missmcgillicuddy]

Well good for her...

[marcain]

Whenever I see her she looks like she's not getting any anymore and compensates by eating too much.

[Bulbul]

Must he humiliate herself, by appearing in everywhere she possibly can , unless of course, Alley is in dire stress for money !
The battle is common, but please , get proper help.
May be Oprah will help her.

[Bulbul]

she

[walkaway]

I think she should stop beating herself up and enjoy life. People who can't get past another person's weight are usually pretty screwed up and need to hurt others.

[johnfoirdfw]

Amen. Maybe she is where she needs to be.

[pinkfirefly]

2 sides of the same coin: a) excess flab and b) fit but obsessed about weight of self and every one else.

[Prakosh]

Who cares!!!!

[hegdehog]

I have tried every diet on the planet. Nothing worked. Some worked temporarily, but they all failed me in the long run. This is the ONLY approach that has served me over the long term:

This woman is a genius.

[AtheistUS]

Normal woman, looks reasonable, yes, a bit full figured, for a woman it's not bad.

If she'd worry less about all this and lived normal life, she'd be in healthy middle between thin and fat versions of herself.

But then, unfortunately, may be she cannot worry less about nonsense. Probably, like many 'celebs', has not high IQ.

[stepintothelight]

Try tapeworms Kirsty!!!

[vinestip]

what's "love butter"? maybe i don't want to know......
