Carnie Wilson: 'I'm fat'It doesn't look like there will be any New Year's resolutions regarding weight loss from Carnie Wilson. The Wilson Phillips singer famously underwent gastric bypass surgery for the cameras, but now appears to have made peace with her battle with the bulge. She recently told PopEater "I'm fat as f**k, what can I say?" The mother of two, who once weighed more than 300 pounds, has been very open about her struggle with her weight. Following her surgery, she reportedly lost 150 pounds in 16 months. She later gained weight following her pregnancies and even participated in the VH1 show "Celebrity Fit Club," where she lost over 20 pounds. But these days, she seems to be over it. "You know, after all these years, it's just like we are who we are and it's a struggle for me and sometimes I'm heavier and sometimes I'm thinner," she told PopEater.

T20 cricket has ended the era of test cricket but still i am happy because i love IPL indian premier league
Hello! aefedkb interesting aefedkb site! I'm really like it! Very, very aefedkb good!
Сантехнические работы в городе Харькове. Замена труб водопровода, канализации, сантехприборов, стояков, батарей отопления. Установка гидробоксов и другие сантехработы.
WTH with you, people!!! When you don't know how it feels to be FAT, don't say any words. When all you can say is only insult, shut your "banci" mouth. I AM FAT AND I AM HAPPY! And if you don't like what you see, just pull your eyes out from their socket. Easy, rite???
I had gastric bypass in 1998. I weighed 285 at 5'4 and lost 125lbs. I am still at 160 now at age 54. I followed instructions after the surgery and eat whatever I want in moderation whenever I want. Carnie is a sugar addict and after watching Unstapled I am not surprised she's fat again. You blew it!
Been there done that Fat and skinny. Anyone who has not been in those shoes keep your mouth shut....you dont know anything. I have had the gastric bypass surgery too and have lost the weight and felt great...but it is a constant battle to keep it off. I know how you feel and it is a demon. But Carnie you are a beautiful person. Dont ever let anyone tell you any different!!!!!
Apparently you don't know how to control yourself either. Don't blame the surgery for your failure!
who wants to be fat........?! You're not curvey unless you consider round curvey...ok I suppose technically there's a continuing curve there.....I laugh when I read something about Gabby Sibide or someone of that nature and they write "showing off her curves"....ya right.....I'll take thin any day!
No sympathy for Carnie here. She IS fat, borderline obese. She has made a living being fat, losing it, gaining it back. Waaaaaaa! She is going to have major health issues because she eats too much, with no regard how it is affecting her family. I am fed up up with fatties, the diet gurus, The Biggest Loser, and the Fat Acceptance movement! If I start gaining weight (which I do during the holidays), I go back to salads and walking every day. She needs to get a real job, live a real life, and maybe she would lose a few.
You're beautiful just the way you are, and your appearance is healthy and complete.
Can't we all just get along? For the childrens??
Evidently being slender is not in her cards. She tried...surgery...more surgeries...and is now accepting the reality she is going to be fat. What degree is up to her, whether she eats just one extra serving or more is what will determine how fat she gets. Sad she cannot control that battle.
@Ralph re: Fat people should not be discriminated against, but nor should they expect people to consider them beautiful. Some will of course which is fine, but most will not.
» Really sez who? Who died and rendered YOU the official : Weight to Physical Attraction Nazi? Who desires diddling a stick? Speak for yourself. MOST people I know (including myself) prefer more 'Voluptuous' women
@MLB » REALLY? Please enlighten us & define 'normal' oh wise and omniscient one!
Anyone who thinks a mother raising one child, let alone two, doesn't get enough exercise is delusional. And if she isn't doing it well, we would have heard about someone intervening. Now, as far as the rest of the discussion goes, have you seen pictures of her as a child and the stock she comes from, not to mention considered the completely screwed up childhood she did have (at least before her mother left her father)? Weight and activity level are NOT the only factors for the morbidly obese to consider. There is a HUGE mental aspect to getting that big. None of us sit down and go, "Gee, you know I think it would be great to gain so much weight that every time I go out people give me the dirtiest looks, I have to choose restaurants carefully so I actually have a place to sit and I will only be able to shop in maybe a quarter of the clothing stores most women shop in. Pfft. Who wants choices?" Maybe, just maybe, while her mother and the rest of her family were trying so desperately to prevent her father from self-destructing the only thing she had to comfort her was food. And when you learn that behavior before you even have a second digit in your age, it's awfully had to unlearn.
She should try wearing a bra. If you want to be fat and pretty, fine, whatever floats your stool, and fat does. But get the girls together for the sake of the camera. I'm not sure they're (not there or their) even pointing toward the same country!
Did she just find out that she was fat? This is a revelation to her?
I don't care about the weight. I wish people (the media) would quit being so obsessed about weight. Do you idiots know how expensive it is to eat healthy...Why don't you (the media) go after the food industry to bring down the prices so that we could be healthier? We don't need you to tell us we're over-weight – We do own mirrors!
In a time of war and our Soldiers and Families in harms way, this should not even have made the news or be of any importance to our country. Exploitation of a person's self-esteem may pay the bills for obsessed paparazzi but as a country we nee to be a little more concerned with real issues that affect our security and the lives of those that protect it.
I'd let her give me a BJ – as long as she left right afterward.
Wow, nothing gets by her, does it?
.ii
First things first:
No one is saying that one should purposefully become overweight. The argument is whether overweight people (especially women. Everyone seems to regard overweight men as jolly and funny while the women are classified as gross) should be allowed to consider themselves to be valuable human beings and allowed out in public without being ridiculed. I believe they should be encouraged to love themselves. Think about this for a moment: while our stars have become thinner and thinner over the years, the average citizen has become heavier. Is there a correlation? Could it be that by the time a woman is in her early 30's she has been on some kind of diet half of her life and knows that she will never reach the Hollywood standard of perfection so she simply gives up? Seriously, think about it.
As to the whole "Carnie's kids are going to grow up without a mother," yeah, maybe when they're in their 60's. The fact of the matter is that many people can be heavier than the average and simple be very healthy. It's true. Believe it or not, my grandmother was 50+ pounds overweight her entire adult life and never developed heart issues, diabetes, etc. She took long walks each day until her death at 82 years. Perhaps she could had lived to 90 had she denied her all of the food she loved, but she would rather enjoy life than to live miserably. Everyone needs to make his/her own choices. That being said, I try to eat as healthy as I can (it is very expensive to feed a family of 5 healthy food, no matter what anyone says), and I workout 5 days a week. I know that even if I were to stop eating entirely I could never have the body of Megan Fox, and I'm fine with that. I'm sure that Carnie, like every other celeb who has been called out due to their weight, will come back in 4 months time slimmed down and on a strict Zone type diet and brutal workout regime. That's what they all do; look at Tyra and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Bottomline: Encourage healthy habits but don't assume slim=healthy or heavy=lazy sick slob.Some of the least healthy people I know have been skinny people who huff and puff up a single flight of stairs.
She looks absolutely stunning. I think that Carnie is living a very rich, creative life, and there is much more to that life than worrying about fitting into some arbitrary rack size. I wish her all the health and joy in the world - the only people she has to consider are the ones who love her.
Kudos to DenverGrl for post # 65! You took the words right out of my mouth. I could not have said it better myself. People get over yourselves you have no right to tell anyone else how to live their lives with respect to how they eat, exercise, or what they do with their bodies. » Furthermore beautiful women come in every shape, size, color etc. The only really ulgy or unattractive people are the ones that are 'ugly' examples as humans from the inside. The Holier than Thou crowd who are mean, nasty & full of themselves and their narrow-minded, ignorant, shallow opinions, like so many that posted here. As for Carnie You ARE a very beautiful woman inside & out, god bless you & your new found innerpeace!
OMG she is gorgeous I would totally screw her brains out...
just make sure she doesn't try to be on top
I think you look gorgeous Carnie, U Go Girl. Love U & Love Wilson Phillips.
She's so fat she'd eat her own leg if you covered it in bbq sauce.
She's so fat that if you broke her leg open, brown gray would pour out.
If she'd stop drinking WessonOil and raw bacon, she'd lose a little.
Imagine the horror if you got really drunk and woke up the next morning with this hog lying next to you, naked. But I guess you could count yourself lucky that she didn't roll over on you while you slept, thus snuffing out your life.
How would you get the chocolate fingerprints off your back that got there when she ate candybars in the middle of "us" time?
Breaking News: Alaska is cold.
It wont be long before we will have no more full figured women. With happy meals being outlawed, salt and sugar regulated out of cities and the government health care plan that will run our lives soon we will all look the same and eat the same and think the same. If you like woman with more rump to them than you are living in a golden age. That being said i wish her well.
Some fat chicks are hot.
"Park City" must be in a really sadsack part of the USA. The kind of place you drive through really fast with your windows rolled up and your doors locked. One of those places where everyone's related and a lot of people have six fingers, or nine. Lots of derelict cars in yards.
Give it a rest, Carnie. You look great, and I hope you feel great.
Carnie Wilson is awesome. Bristol Palin is the tub-of-lard.
I don't get it I had this surgery for 6 yrs I never went backwards I eat a lot of protein and yes sometimes I crave sweets and I have some but I work out I get up and move around its a tool not a just a magic stick that say skinny there side effects to somethings but weight gain that's the person putting food in there mouth.
This fat POS has had every medical treatment there is to have, she has even been on "Celeberity Fitness" and still couldn't lose weight. She was even in "Playboy". Come on already she wants everybody to feel sorry for her. Well no one should. She would even fail at the "Biggest Loser". The only strong part of her body is her "Right Arm" she uses" that arm to stuff her face. Have you ever noticed the diference. She should stop her whining and try to eat food that is good for her and Exercise and stop stuffing the "Goodies" in her mouth. For someone who has money and can afford all the top trainiers she is a poor example for someone who has had the opportunites to stay in shape. Carnie quit your whining and go away. Everyone is tired of hearing you say say I can't lose weight.
I don't understand why the bypass surgery hasn't stopped her or at least helped her to eat less. Has the surgery been reversed? Does it just not work anymore?
If that is a recent picture of her, she looks great. Why should she care what complete strangers think, anyway? It's not like the haters are her personal friends who really care about her.
Fat and lazy is a deadly combo. People should def be happy with who they are but if who they are is going to cause life long problems (heart disease, diabetes, etc) wouldn't you wanna change it?
Id pound it. She looks hot.
Yes honey you are extremely fat get on a diet pronto. You famous people!! This is a curse from god to you live with it
she looks better than some of you chub bashers talking about how bad it is, oh yea you never ever do anything bad from you. i.e. eat a fast food meal even once in your life, drive a car which could lead to death, smoke, drink alcohol, take prescription or otc drugs... give me a break. breathing is bad for you these days. get off your high horse. she is not a morbid blob. she is chubby so what, u r far from perfect and you know it!
Carnie, I say AMEN, sister girl! Love you for being honest in dealing with it all. It makes you much more real than most of those other fake Hollywood celebs.
She looks very pretty in that photo. She's not as big as she was, though. I'd hit it, and I like thinner chickies.
In this day we place so much effort on our appearances that we have forgot to place effort into our character. There is a solution to all this craziness! Please look into at http://www.peacefulsolution.org. Our character can change the world! Learning how to use self control and respect in our everyday lives will overcome all negativity! : )
mama always said....
'a heffer is as a heffer does.'
ha...very good snark
According to Michelle Obama, Wilson's weight is a NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT.
AS a BBW myself I do think big is beautiful. I am very proud of my size. I also have met many plus size friends on a BBW dating club [seekingbbw dot com]. The blog was updated very often. Lots of guys joined my friend circle. We are very popular here because we know size is only a number.
nancy...you are proud of being fat? proud that you can only attract people who are fat, also? pity that you would not want to attract fit people who take responsibility for their good choices. i suggest you cut down on the pizza, bon bons and cheetos, get some exercise instead of just porking out. and speaking about porking, can you sustain enough energy to make it past foreplay without become exhausted?
Half of America is overweight..who cares that she is? she has the time and resources to do what she needs and she is stll fat...sad sad sa
All these hater comments about weight from people who probably have teeth rotting out of thier mouth, hair loss, bad hygeine etc...Wh othe hell are YOU to call her names? Take a quick look in the mirror wife beaters, cheaters and parents with pregnant teens!!! im sure you could find something wrong with your skinny little body.
And I have a money back guarantee on THAT!
hmmm....sounds like someone has an obesity problem here, eh bella? i suggest you cut down on your gorging, get a bit of exercise and you will live a longer, if not happier life. please dont burden those of us that are fit and in command of our destinies to pay for your poor choices. hope your kids are not obese also.
Huked un fonix werked fer mee!!!! Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the dumbing down of America; your education tax dollars at work.
you are who you are, I have always thought she was a very beautiful person !
All the cubby chasers and fat defenders here. She is fat and not normal. How is she normal. She probably tips the scales over 200 lbs. It's unhealthy. It will shorten her life. It will increase her odds of getting all kinds of illnesses, including cancer. Stop with the fat is normal. It's not. I watched her show a couple of times. She gorges herself on unhealthy food.
Carnie, you are beautiful and inspiring no matter what. Your story was one that inspired me to get the surgery and my life is all the better for it, even though it's been almost 9 years. So thank you for that and for being you and for being so open to the public with all of your incredible emotional pain. You are very appreciated!
Try not eating so damn much.
So I get it...fat is unhealthy. But being fat makes you ugly?
When her kids goto school, other kids are going to say, well at least my mom is not bigger than my dad.
It seems to me that if she's comfortable with the way she is than so am I. As far as the negative comments I've been reading I say why don't you people present yourselves to the media as honestly as she has and let's pick YOU apart.
Thank you, Craig! Couldn't agree more!!
Fat ass
Weight gain, when it will harm your health you must take care of it! Weight gain cause Strokes!!
Weight gain, when it will harm your health you must take care of it!
Fat ass.
I love the new "Hypersonic Weight Loss" and you will see the difference after just a week!
Carnie is gorgeous at any size and certainly anyone can see that. We love Carnie for not only her talent but for who she is as a person. I've been blessed to meet her several times and know what a funny, vivacious, humble, loving person she is. I've struggled with a weight problem since my pre-teen years so I know what stigma society places on overweight people. People shouldn't judge or have expectations of someone else's lives, especially when you don't know what they go through. We wish her good health, happiness and success. We also continue to support her in all that she does and hope everyone else will do the same.
People die do to their over weight which that took the life of my friend and his mom. It is not a game for it is a life that God gave us to take good care of!
She's a beauty anyway
Wow, all you folks saying its normal to be overweight is it also normal to have diabetes? If you are overweight diabetes is just one of many complications. Americans need to wake up about a number of things including their weight. Do you know how
Can't we all just eat a box of Ding dongs and go into a diabetic coma?
It it more important to be confortable with who you are. Being comfortable in your own skin is vital. Society has become a " Thin Only Club". If all people were meant to be thin then genetics would have made everyone thin but in reality people are of various shapes and sizes. Imagine if fashions only came in one size. Be yourself and be as healthy as you can be. Let's live and let live.
More like live and let die...of diabetes, heart disease, and vascular insufficiency.
You don't have to be a size 6 to be beautiful. I think she is lovely at any size!
Carnie, we would like to test market a new dessert named for you.
Its 2 golden cakes, with marshmallows in the middle, deep fried, covered in chocolate
And then topped with yummy mayo!!!!
Mmmm. Mmmmmm
Please try a couple hundred in the next day (or hour). We at Hostess are sure you will love it.
Each serving is only 4500 calories, so you can enjoy a few while maintaining that
Barrel like figure!
If I hear one more person say Marilyn Monroe was a size 16 I am going to lose it. Anyone who has ever ventured into a thrift store can confirm that sizes then aren't the same as sizes now. I am 5'7" and 125 lbs and a vintage size 12 fits me fine. Sizes have gotton larger to accomodate larger people and keep them buying clothing because they think they are fitting into smaller clothing.
True, she was only a size 8 by today's standards. Some people here are being extremely rude though.
Thanks Carnie. Our profits were starting to drop. Keep on buying those Ho-Ho's and cupcakes you beautiful fat pig!
Yeah... you're FAT for sure. No two ways about it.
Somewhere in the posts, some jerk stated that we are a weight sensitive society? Well, when you weigh on at over 300 lbs, HELLO you ARE FAT!
Good God – what happened to normal weight?
This society is SICK and it's rapidly becoming super freaking FAT.
That's totally gross.
I guess people are just to freaking lazy to take care of themselves these days, what the hell, "I'll just let myself balloon out until I can't possibly move". Pig out then pig out some more – oh, pass the french fries please – and add that cheese sauce and extra fat too...
Sick – for sure...
Touched a nerve here, I can see. So, my friend at work just lost 50 pounds. How did he do it? Cut his eating by 75% and ran several miles a day. I hope it works for me...
Instead of weight-loss surgeries and what have you. Perhaps she should consider a behavioral mentor to help her so that she stays on track and focused!
the majority of Americans are fat and half of those are obeae. I know when I was 20 pounds overweight, my knees hurt terribly, I had gastro-intestinal problems, my BP and chloresterol were skyrocketing. Thru determination, I lost the weight...and it wasnt easy (i am post menopausal) and not only do I feel better; I look good too. It is not a matter of money (veges are cheap and walking is free). NO EXCUSES, FOLKS
If eating better gives me an extra 5 years to rot in a nursing home, I'll take another cheeseburger.
Who gives a hoot!
Aaaaand in other news: Richard Simmons is gay, Bruce Willis is bald and Elvis is dead.
Just stop eating like a pig...
Look at her she is fat.
And I would literaly KILL to have a picture of you all next to your obnoxious comments. Bet none of you would have the stones to say anything then!
Ah r u fat to Jo.
Put a sock in it Amy. Phhht!
Why are some of you so rude? That's another thing wrong with this society... Just plan rude. Not everyone is 5'6 110lbs... Some people are more active than other, and some people eat better than other. It still don't give you the right to be rude, and just plain mean. Get over yourselves!
@Amy
Hey Dingus.... when you put yourself out there with a headline that says "I'M FAT" you are welcoming ALL comments. Don't like the truth, go live in mamby pamby land!
Must be nice to just say I'm fat And have CNN jump on it.
Hey Everybody! Carnie Wilson is fat!
REALLY?!!!!!
WOW! The sheer amount of nasty comments on weight is astounding. Well, it does show just how shallow most people are. You have all the character of a mirror, all image and no depth.
I would rather be fat than be a crack smoking Jiggaboo : )
If she grew a beard she'd be a TRUE 'carnie'. Hahahahahahahahahahhaha
yep, gorgeous, how's that for a label?
No really. You are FAT and you need to check into rehab food addiction as the same drug addiction! Not big and beautiful at all, big and grossly disrespectful to your body!
I had a boyfriend in high school who was overweight. I didn't mind it at the time. Got in touch with him after 25 years and he is a total mess now. In his own words "I sat on the couch grew another body." I can't believe his current wife enabled this behavior. It just disgusts me. I know not every overweight person is a twinkie eating hog, but we all need to live with our decisions in life. I see so many people at the supermarket buying crap that can hardly be labeled as food. I know not everyone has the $$ to shop at Whole Foods, but there are inexpensive and healthy foods like lentils and whole grain products. Trader Joes has good affordable foods. We as Americans should all move a little more and eat a lot less.
THIS we know.
Wow! You are fat!
Carnie: you are also beuatiful, a wonderful mother, a sweet hearted woman, and a very honest person. Fat doesnt define who you are or your value on this planet. I look at my fat this way: finally all my life I wanted to be in the "IN CROWD".... now with 75% of the US overweight... I finally fit in : ) I am very happy that you are NOT STARVING yourself or anorexic or doing coke to keep your weight off. Yer beautiful in any size.
People have different metabolic rates. Some folks burn 5000 to 6000 calories per day basally. I burn 4 to 5 calories a day. I work out regularly just to look somewhat unhealthy. It don't seem fair really.
I feel your pain.
Carnie is fat , she really is, and she chooses to so be. People who think she is not fat, must so be as well.
Whatever.... Who cares?
Breaking News: AMERICA IS FAT (and rather disgusting)!
Fat people are annoying...almost as annoying as Jiggaboos : )
I just realized I have never seen that word in print. It is mesmerizing.
If she wants to be fat that's her problem. When I look in the mirror, I'm smoking!
Everyone is a perfect 10 on the internet.
burgers, fries, pizza and all the other "comfort" foods she can afford to buy instead of cook a great meal... lazy is right.
get your hubby a snorkel for xmas...
some of you guys that are bashing her and the fact that she's being honest about her weight are so ignorant! she'a doing something that alot of people dont do, which is confess they have a weight issue. the ones that are talking crap, are the ones, that probably have a weight issues themselves...its called anorexia, binge and purge. the ones that constantly count calories and ask everyone, "am i fat?"....get a grip and a life. yes, obesity is unhealthy, but so is starving your self to death!
The "Feed the Children" sign in the background is pretty ironic and hilarious though...
I eat pretty much what I want. . . in moderation. I'm 5'11" and weight about 170lbs; most people tell me I look skinny. I can eat burgers and pizza and even sweets. About the only thing that I really watch is my salt intake (since so many modern foods are simply overburdened with salt). As for the rest, I simply don't over do it.
If I eat one unhealthy meal (like a giant sloppy burger with bacon, cheese and all the works, or homemade lasagna with loads of goodies) then I go light on the rest of what I eat during the day and maybe the next. I never count calories and yet I never gain weight. Moderation and exercize is it. That's all we need. I walk at least a couple of miles a day, work on my cardio for maybe 30-45 minutes, with strength training a couple of times a week.
My entire family is however VERY overweight. My Mom, for example is 5'6" and weighs over 250lbs. The difference really isn't in the foods we eat, it's in the amount of physical activities we engage in. We aren't made to sit on our butts all day, and ride around in cars everywhere. The human body is made to be active, and to move.
To be sure, some people have health issues that prevent them from dropping wieght, but they are very much in the minority.
She's an undisciplined, miserable cow.
All you guys talking about how gross she is because she is overweight are just little clowns with tiny d1cks... You can't handle this kind of woman. You have no idea how much better a woman with some back is in bed and if you did you would have learned to shut your trap by now... Keep thinking that 3" p3cker is actually good for something...
Or we can get hotter girls than you.....fat girls are lousy in bed...they just lie there doing nothing....I hooe u r big..cause u will need every inch just to get past the fat ripples.....am i in yet?...dunno just keep pumpin....lol
I've been there, lost lots of weight, gained back, and them some. We are our worst critics. Oprah has come to terms with been over weight. Why can we do the same?
WHO CARES
You are beautiful – I am a plus size lady who never thought about it until I got an E-mail from an employee at a Fortune Five Hundred Company with a statement – You are fat from the VP's Office sent by the Admin.
Stay as nice as you are – you are perfect. .
Tired of hearing it.
Not being fat isn't rocket science.
STOP eating crap every day.
YUP! I for one am sick of her coming on talk shows every fews years and biatching that she is FAT, well honey DO SOMETHING about it......like eat normal. I saw her on Dr. Oz's show months ago and she swore to him that she wanted to lose weight, the tears, the dramatics, the BS.....
I read this article and the comments and wonder two things. First, how low does your self esteem have to be to actually declare "I'm fat"? Seriously–if you think you are keep it to yourself. Regardless of your weight, nothing is more attractive than someone declaring basically, "Ohhhh, I'm so fat. Poor me!" Same with declaring, "Wow! I am so skinny and hot!" Second, how low does your self esteem have to be to come here berating people for their weight? Worry about yourself and you'll have more than enough to worry about. That includes worrying about your weight.
She didn't say I'm fat, poor me.. she said I'm fat – so what? And that is finally better self esteem.
As for the haters – it makes them feel superior. Too bad it doesn't manifest outwardly. How cool it would be if every time someone posted something hurtful their ears grew or something. Then we could point at all the people with hater's ears.
As for those who choose to give up a chunk of their lives each day to exercise, congratulations, if it makes you happy more power to you... but don' t you dare use the health system if you ruin any part of your body with your obsessive exercise; and do remember that the extra time you are spending exercising is probably the extra time you are adding to your life... so if I choose to be average size instead of exercise than we're even as far as quality of life where I'm coming from... because to many people being forced to exercise is worse than an early death.
I'll take the shorter life and eat the cheesecake with my friends. Have a slice of life you poor hungry dears.
This is the biggest bunch of immature people writing on here. I grew up in a house with a mom constantly telling me no one would love me if I was fat so I better watch my weight. Depression took a my 140 lbs (I'm 5'6") down to 120 lbs and then up to 230 lbs. Sometimes us fat people have issues that make us eat. We feel bad, we eat. Someone says the cruel things that some of you have said here online to our faces, we eat. The self loathing is horrible. I have lost a lot of weight over the years since my depression lifted, but I will never be 120 lbs again. At that weight I was starving and exercising like crazy. I would rather be a little overweight (like I am now) than starving or morbidly obese. Also I do not have DM type 2 or high blood pressure or high cholesterol. In fact I know more skinny people with those conditions than I do us "fat" people.
If she doesn't get rid of the baby blimp now, it will be hell trying to do it when she's 50 something with hypertension. She can 'accept it' all she wants, but she needs to realize she's probably not going to live a long enough time to see her grandchildren. Yeah it is tough to lose weight and keep it off for some. Not everything is easy. Get past that and take control.
comments r hilarious...keep the snark coming in, folks. and...it seems that the defenders of this porker are probably porkers themselves. speaking about porking...i cannot imagine even porking this porker...no fun at all cuz they dont move too quickly to suit my style.
You've got to have the equipment to be able to keep up with this much woman... 8" and under need not apply... Keep thinking you are a player...
Live, and let live. I think the lady is just saying she's finally learned to live comfortably with who she is. Being over weight (rather 10,20,or 100 pounds) is miserable. The point being be happy, send love into the world, and light...not darkness, and negativity. Be accepting of people different than your self...you might learn something. Also I would not want to be so judgemental...whew big whammie there. Peace.
F'em Carnie. Your beautiful. Being as a good a parent to our children, mates to our spouses, and children of our parents is all any of us have to do. You look great to me.
Being that big/fat is just being lazy.
How pathetic. Another example of why most of America is obese. She's had every advantage including surgery, and the Fit Club and she still can't exercise any personal responsible. The formula is quite simple, eat less and exercise. I look at someone like her and just think she's very dumb.
Thats why obese people should be treated like drug addicts...what recovering alcoholic goes into a bar ever again?..the fatties continue to walk in the devils den without any guidance or self control.
ohhhhhhh i did not gain all back i gained 50 pounds,so i will work with my wls tool to get down again!
true true i had weight loss surgery 7 years ago was 440 got down to 220 but after accident and 2 years no exercise and eating wrong again gained back weight so now im trying to get down again,i hope i make it,and please dont make fun of us no one knows what problems each person can have and when you over eat alot something is wrong in your life and you dont know how to handle it so you eat eat eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We should confine all obese people on deserted islands, with only what they cultivate, gather and raise/slaughter to eat, and only the structures they build with hand tools to shelter them. You know... THE WAY THINGS WERE FOR 99.99999% OF HUMAN EXISTENCE. I guarantee they would all go from lard ass to thin and fit in a matter of months.
I agree. We should let all these fat, right wing pigs fend for themselves. They are the ones who are always against safe healthy food and love all the deep fried crap.
Yup. You are fat. Fattie.
While excess weight may be a health issue, so is smoking, drinking, drugs and a billion other things floating around in the world. In today's society it is ACCEPTABLE to bash a person who smokes, but is UNACCEPTABLE to bash a person who drinks, or who does drugs, or who is overweight. Honestly, I think everyone is a bunch of hypocrites. How many of YOU profess beliefs and opinions that YOU do not hold? Get off your high horse, mind your own business and stay more focused in your own life, rather than continuously bashing others. Don't you THINK they already know their issue? Show a little empathy, because we ALL have a flaw, and if you think you don't – you are SADLY MISTAKEN.
Sorry, but my only flaw is my inability to look past idiotic, ignorant commentary like what you just posted. It's a helluva cross to bear, let me tell ya.
Kathy if she knew she wouldnt be fat...so must you too...that is why we r commenting to help her and you....I hope I dont upset you so much you eat a case of ring-dings.
Carnie, welcome to America!
we dont let alcoholics drink themselves to death...we dont let meth heads or heroin junkies kill themselves....but we all lie to fat people and tell them they r beautiful...maybe so but they r killing themselves....who would go out with a drunk on a first date?...how about a meth head?..they wouldnt get a date ever....but we all encourage fat people...they need to be treated just like drug addicts....food is their drug..they cannot be trusted around their drugs..we need more fat people interventions..
CANKLES !!
Another bon bon Carnie?
Take as many as you want!
Yes. She is a fat ass. Didn't she get fired for eating the entire spread last week? Too much Carls Jr........You're the grammar police. Idiot.
gram mar,
It seems India has not yet learned of the comma. You should look it up before criticizing someone's grammar again.
You are so hot ! I'd boink you asap !
There is NO excuse to be obese unless you are completely unable to exercise and are on a very high calorie diet.
In her case, she doesn't exercise, eats the wrong things, is unhappy about it (it's horse-shyt if any obese person HONESTLY says he/she is happy, it's utter horseshyt) and doesn't do anything about it. When she made the choice for her own health (surgically) it didn't do anything to address the fact that she has low self esteem, still does, let's face it, people who overeat to the point of obesity have big mental issues and it's the truth, that's why they do it. So she gave up on herself. Too bad for her. Some people have it together, some don't. Nothings going to change unless we make it change if we have the ability to do it
Oink oink oink!!
Thank you alberto. That's two for "OINK OINK OINK" (I voted too).
Your words have changed the world!
Join me as we battle against celebrities who eat to much because they are wealthy!
Also we can battle all English teachers in America for the poor job they've done educating our children like RAE!
I live my life behind a computer screen!
I take up arms to ridicule those who can't spell and celebrities who are overweight!
I am Keyboard Warrior, hear me type!
yeah , you are a fat one!!!!
All of these fatties that always make excuses when someone calls a spade a spade are the ones who celebrate every time McDonald's bring back the McRib.
Let's take a vote: MOOOO MOOOOOO or OINK OINK OINK?
I'd like to bounce my B@lls off her Nuts landing !!
Whether you're fat or skinny, you're still human. One doesn't make you prettier. Clearly being to fat or to skinny isn't healthy, but that doesn't mean we should tell them they're ugly. Everyone is pretty in their own way.
Spoken lie a true clueless liberal moron with its head stuck in fantasy land. So sorry to burst your bubble, but here in REALITY LAND there is up, down, hard, soft, fast, slow, strong, weak, right, wrong, pretty and ugly. I hope for your sake that your ignorance can be explained by the naivete of youth...
to all of you sho would rather trash somone for being overweight as opposed to trying to understand their situation. i used to be you, i am now married to a woman who has put herself through hell to take off and keep weight off and if you didn't know her you would'nt know what she has gone through. before you trash people for something you are to shallow to understand try getting to know them as a person....
We cant get to know them..they are too busy eating.
I'm sorry your wife became a fatty. I'd divorced her. Excuses, excuses. It's easy, eat less and move your butt once in a while.
Fat or thin, she has a vulgar mouth on her. You can buy gastric bypass surgery, but you can't buy class.
Carney looks a pretty as ever! Problem is we should call this one properly she isnt fat she is unhealthy. Lets not lie and call her unattractive, but let's not shelter her from the harm she is doing to herself.
Didn't she have stomach surgery to lose all that weight? It's not the food that is the issue at this point! It's whatever is going on in her head! She needs to see a shrink on her overeating issues because at this point it's not about the food.
I think you are absolutely ravishing!
LOL at all the "fat is beautiful" folks. Listen up – dumb is dumb, ugly is ugly and fat is fat. No two ways about it. Skip a meal.
Is that Bristol Palin?
She's porkable
There's nothing attractive about someone with blubber hanging off of them. Eat less and exercise more and the weight will come off and stay off. It isn't rocket science.
Wow some responses encourage this. Fat is not good... Fat is unhealthy. Its not okay and it should be unacceptable. People need to stop looking for miracle pills, miracle surgeries or stupid trendy diets.
GET OFF YOUR LAZY BUTTS & GO TO THE GYM. WORK-OUT! Its healthy for so many other reasons.
A little self discipline goes a long way.
she's fat, but it's better to be fat (150) than obese (300)
Grammar is very important. Let us be humble and learn from others.
i am fat as well but i do not look at that.... you should not use that as your validation.....fluffy is what you are just like me...and i love fluffy....live your life for you and untill they pay your bills don't let anyone get you down.....BE PROUD...take good care girl.....be all you love.....and love all you can be.........always jan
you tell 'em Jan, live your life for you... until you die at 35 of heart failure (no big deal though since your quality of life sucks from diabetes)
Then prepare for Type II diabetes and the accompanying blindness, limb amputations and early demise. All we ask is that you pay for your self-imposed medical treatment out of your own pocket instead of using the insurance that sticks the healthy-lifestyle people with the bill.
She would be pretty is she didn't have 3 layers of lard covering her. She should start JimboJenkins 2 step weight loss program. 1) eat less 2) do more
I just lost over 100 pounds. To do it, I had to give up pretty much my entire life and put it on ice. To maintain it, I'm always hungry and I workout at least 2 or more hours a day. And I still have to lose another 70 pounds. I already eat literally nothing. But I'm going to do it. However, if someone doesn't choose to do what I have to do to lose and maintain, I can't blame them. Sorry folks, being thin is not nearly as easy for some as others.
And again, CNN puts out stories that mean nothing. Can you think of something more irrelevant as an ex-Wilson-Phillips who seems to have made a career out of being fat? We stop caring, crap like this will go away...
well, it's only up to you rich girl. I hate it when they use pregnancy as an excuse.
Fat people behind their keyboards are defending this cow, She's fat because she eats like a horse and gets as much exercise as a computer monitor
Duh. Thanks for the confirmation from the College of Redundancy.
Woah. Such hostility. Carnie is gorgeous, no matter what size she is. It takes a real woman to admit that she has a problem. And for all of you that have been judging her, it is not your place. It really ticks me off to see all of these comments and to actually think you are a human being, with feelings... I'm sure if the tables were turned, you wouldn't want people to call you names and make fun of how big you are without knowing how hard you worked. Plain and simple.. grow up a little.
Actually, criticism and ridicule is EXACTLY what this epidemic of fat asses needs to hear. Perhaps with enough derision they will finally be motivated to STOP OVEREATING and START EXERCISING. Clueless, excuse-making liberal tards like yourself are the greatest enemies these gluttonous swine have. YOU and your ignorant brethren give them the "I'm ok, you're ok" rationalizations they need to continue down their food-inhaling, couch-sitting path to Type II diabetes and early death. Congrats moron.
not fat she's freaking enormous! moo! moo!
She left out "... and ugly". By the way, is that Carnie as in "carnivore" or Carnie as in "carnival" (i.e. freak show)? I've always wondered...
Hahahahaha. Awesome. I know some fat ass at work with the same name. I am going to use your joke on her tomorrow in the morning meeting!
Eat one serving sweety!! Not the whole box!!
she look good to me. id hit
Who cares... how is this news??? I'm fairly certain we have more important issues going on right now, CNN..
Apparently Captain Obvious visited today.
Who cares? Be who you are.
Well, in this pic she looks pretty darn good.
Huh..she doesnt understand why she is still fat?..because we dont eat all the crap she does....eat right and exercise you will be skinny....that fat cow thinks everyone eats mcdonalds and cookies all the time like she does...wrong!!..fat people should be intervened like drunks who cant control themselves..same difference...both cant stop to save their lives..
Fat is UGLY, thin & fit is BEAUTIFUL. Period. And no amount of clueless liberal delusion or wishful thinking will ever change it.
Tell your tea bagging conservatard comrades to lose some weight too. Most fatties are in the red states.
yeah all you heartless idiots obviously have not seen what she has gone through in her attempts to be healthy and lose weight. If you aren't born with the sort of body chemistry that an overweight person has, you have no clue what that life is like. She even had major surgery that has many nasty lifelong side effects, and she couldn't even eat more than a piece of chicken the size of a strawberry, but her body still keeps returning to it's more natural state. It doesn't take a scientist to understand that everyone's body chemistry is entirely different, and some people should learn to be thankful that they were born lucky instead of being hateful to those who weren't
If by body chemistry you mean dipping bacon slices into Ranch dressing and l1cking your fingers, then yeah, your body chemistry is different from mine. She may have had that bypass surgery, but she kept eating ice cream and candy and stretched it back out. I wasn't born lucky, I exercise and don't eat Miracle Whip on apple pie.
"her body" didn't do anything..... She ate through the surgery! She kept eating and stretching her stomach and eating and stretching.
you know, we should all try to stay healthy, happy and wise. There isnt just one definition of "5exy" out there, that's so absurd, well maybe there is for people who cant think for themselves and watch too much TV. Seriously is being too thin any better than being too fat? I've been on both sides of the fence and let me assure you, one is no better than the other.
There is nothing wrong with a little "cushion for the pushing"! Plus she is drop dead beautiful in the face and that lasts forever! It's usually the skinng girls who are so uptight about everyone making postive comments about women who are overweight, and want to bust them on the health thing. Go to a funeral home, the vast majority of the people in those caskets are skinny people!!
That's because fat people don't fit in caskets, silly.
Oh, and if you find her beautiful you are what's called a chubby chaser.
I agree Carnie.. you are Fat and it is what it is. I had to come to the same conclusion after many failed attempts at losing weight. Good for you for finally facing your demons!
Red beans 'n rice didn' miss heeer
Carnie, you are beautiful just as you are........I have seen so many people fat and overly obess.........Believe me, you are no wheres near looking like that.........just do the best you can..........good luck..........just remember "moderation" and you will be just fine.
You need to take your own advice and use puntuation in moderation. #1, you don't end sentences with elipses. #2 elipses consist of 3, count em, 3 periods.
Maybe you just like your punctuation like you like your deep fried ice cream, plentiful.
Whatever gets her through the night I guess. I call it undisciplined with a foul mouth.
Maybe she can play in the sequel to the movie, "Shallow Hal". All the stunt scenes can be played by Bristol "the pistol" Palin!
the society is the one with the weight problem and some idiots just follow it...
I'm so sick of people asking, "How is this news?" CNN has set up an "Entertainment" section, which this story falls under because she is somewhat a celebrity. News comes in different degrees of importance...this story, on a scale of 1-10, falls at about a 1, but it is still news to some people. So shut the heck up!
She looks like a fat tub of S***.. Total vomit
ha...succinct (very good)
Yup
Sara: I would do Carnie, she looks good to me, but I can tell your ugly to the bone..... beaaatch.
The way I remember her is when Chris Farley played her in a skit on SNL.
Being overweight is a choice. I used to be, so I know. I dieted and did all the stupid things that cause you to stress out and gain it all back. Suddenly, I realized it was simple. I had to make the choice to eat the right things, exercise and not over-eat. I didn't starve myself...I just ate better, kept up with the calories and did moderate exercise. I could eat dessert when my calories allowed and didn't eat the whole cake. It's a choice people. You can be pre-disposed to being overweight, but you can maintain a healthy weight by making the choice to not over eat. Carnie is making excuses for not wanting to change her behavior.
Fat bottom girl, you make the rockin' world go round..........and round and round. You rock!!
She is a bad mother and should encourage her children not to be as big as she is!
Yeah, it's SOOOO much better to be a sickly skinny mother who encourages her kids to be bulimic and anorexic, huh? Most of the girls I've known who have had eating disorders developed them because their mothers started pushing diets on them by the time of 2nd grade. I have yet to see a heavy mother pushing cake down her kids' throats.
Dear Santa,
All I want from Christmas is a day free from "news"stories about ANY celeb's weight. Who cares!
I have lost four IQ points just skimming these comments.
Since your name is Tard then that takes you down to zero! lol
Hey Carnie, kudos for finally facing your demons. You needed to admit to yourself that this battle will continue as long as you never accept yourself for who/what you are. You love food. Period. This should be accepted by you and you alone. There are programs with doctors who can help with food addictions but I haven't heard you speak of even one.
Perhaps this is the way you should go?
Dieting/surgeries are one thing... but it doesn't war off the underlying problem that will continue to haunt you the rest of your life.
You know, I am getting kind of tired of people passing judgement on others. You make it seem like all overweight people do is sit around eating junk food and making excuses. Obesity researchers are finding that there is indeed a gene that casues some people to gain weight more quickly and also casues them to have a harder time losing weight and keeping it off. There is no doubt that obesity is a health problem, and I am by no means suggesting that people just give up and not try to be fit and healthy. But it is also true that the issue of being overweight is not as easy as some people make it seem. I have known people who exercise every day and eat a healthy diet and they are still overweight. Conversely , I have known people who could eat everything in sight, live on junk and are not active and they are still thin. By the way, in case anyone accuses me of making excuses for myself, I am not overweight by medical standards. I just wish that people would stop being so nasty towards other people.
the science is finally catching up with reality, but the general retarded public still doesn't get it. You are exactly right. People are becoming larger with every generation because our food options and lifestyles have deteriorated, but those same people would still struggle with their weight even in another country or in another era. They just wouldn't be as big.
People are very rude. making comments such as moo and oink. not everyone is 100 lbs, some people have slower metabolism or other reasons they are bigger. I think this chick looks fine, I think she's pretty, and she isn't even that big.
So what, you go girl
I fell in love with Carnie from the first time I ever laid eyes on her. She is so beautiful both inside and out. If you're out there Carnie...you have people that love you all over the world.
I think she is gorgeous. Her weight doesn't define who she is. And to assume that she just needs to "bypass the dinner plate" is ignorant "Will.i.am" (wanna-be)!
First of all, she didn't bring up the issue of her weight. If you go to the original interview, her interviewer asked about her weight and she honestly answered the question. She isn't in denial about her weight problem. She admits that maintaining a healthy weight is a struggle for her. We all have things we struggle with in life. Her struggle just happens to be one that people can see.
LOL...well said
I say, "So what?" What is socially acceptable as being attractive changes with the times. If you look at classic paintings of women, they were all large because society believed that skinny was unhealthy. Look what happened when Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" was released. Curves became cool! I understand that there is irrefutable evidence that shows obesity is dangerous to one's health and I'm not arguing that, but isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder? She's still gorgeous.
I'm fat. That's who I am. Pass me that bag of Oreos!
Her language needs cleaning up, not her plate.
Is she trying to steal my job?
MOO! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Carney
I think she is hot.
WOW She's a beautiful woman!!
It's never their fault, there's always something beyond their control that causes fatness.
or at least that's what they claim to absolve themselves of any responsibility for their own health.
Exactly correct chuckly. And they have an army of enablers trying to convince everyone (but mostly themselves) that being fat is okay.
Instead of gastric bypass surgery she should have opted for the less invasive "let the dinner plate bypass your mouth" option!
I don't know, but she is gorgeous in the picture. I like cookies.
I have information that can bring Carnie Wilson's weight down.
amazing how many people think health can be determined by looking at someone.
Amazing how many overweight people can rationalize their unhealthy lifestyle.
SPOILER ALERT
what I really love are those who claim 'The diet didn't work'.
Well, if you had put down that bucket of chicken the diet might have worked.
the fact that you can't stick too the stupid diet is the reason you're fat, not because the diet didn't work.
you know what, we as everyday people know that celebrities are f@#%ed in the head... she is beautiful, and she is admitting that she has a problem. No, this is not really news, and yes there are certain health risks associated with being fat, or being thin. but I am sure that most guys would still get with her if they had the chance. unless most of the male posters here are under the age if 14, wake up and stop faking it...she is attractive, and you don't really care if she has problems or not, you'd still get with her if you could you are just taking the chance and being as rude and insensitive as you can with someone that is famous....losers!
I think she's beautiful as she is. As long as she's healthy and happy – that's the most important thing
!
To all you people out there who think that diet and excersize helps everyone lose weight, you are giving people false hope. When I was 19, I weighed 289 pounds. I am 5'3". I ate extremely healthy, exercised once in the morning and once in the evening for an hour at a time, reduced my caloric intake, and lost 121 pounds in two years. Then I got sick. I was put on steroids and antibiotics, and within one moth, I gained 40 pounds. I am currently at 203 pounds. In the past year, after returning to my diet and excersize, I lost 6 pounds. Explain that! Now, leave people alone about their weight, because sometimes, you have no control over it.
I guess you're fat AND stupid, then. Too stupid to eat and exercise properly.
It's amazing how more then likely about 5 percent of all fat people are that way for predetermined reasons, or problems and can't help it, but the real kicker is how about 95 percent of the fat people claim to be in that 5 percent group.
Don't listen to all the "oh, you are beautiful person on the inside" nonsense. Fact is you're fat. Lose some weight.
Grammeranyone=looooooooooooooser
Brilliant deduction Carrie! Now if you could admit to a weak singing voice, then you'd be caught up all the obvious factors.
You're not fat – you're yourself. Embrace that, the person that you are, and who gives a fk about standards. Be healthy, be wonderful.
she has been a pig for years, how is this news. i guess she hasnt been in the headlines in a few
MOOOOO
Outrageous – overweight, unhealthy, pious and mentally challenged people are ruining us all
She said: "You know, after all these years, it's just like we are who we are and it's a struggle for me and sometimes I'm heavier and sometimes I'm thinner,"
Well, you certainly do become the essence of what you believe yourself to be. Perhaps a different mindset would produce different results? Just sayin – She's still hot.
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, coffee in one hand, a good cigar in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "˜WOO HOO" what a ride!"
id bang her
I'm a fat guy and I know I should loose weight but it's not that easy. Each and every thing you put into your mouth you have given it a reason to go in there. It's the last cookie in the bag, it's already on the plate, it tastes so good, it is a suggested serving, it's as much as my skinny friends eat, it's free, it's going to expire, and on and on. Sounds like a bunch of lame excuses but every time I put something into my mouth I think something like that. We each have our achilles heels and my is Coke, Ice cold with lots of ice in a big glass. I know it's wrong but I can get a fix at every 7-11 and there is a lot of Coke dealers in the country. So I now see the problem, I just have to beat it. Don't hate me, just wish me luck.
Hi Arlee, if nobody here does, I do wish you luck. I was very overweight at one time and still have some to lose. It was the most difficult thing I had to do. Have you tried Weight Watchers? WW helped me to relearn how to eat. Heavier people need a little more calories to lose weight because they have more weight to carry around so they expend more energy doing it. You will need more food than your "skinny" friends at first, so don't go by that. As you lose the weight, the amount you need will decrease. WW also helps you to incorporate the foods you like and give you the tools to monitor the calories in so you can effectively hit that more calories out moment. Again, good luck to you and never give up.
Ms. Wilson is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, no matter what her size!! There comes a time in life where one needs to realize that appearances are not everything. As long as she feels great and is healthy thats all that matters. I'm sure her kids love her no matter what and that folks...is all that matters!!!
TO Dantheman!!
) Size 14 or 16 and happy with it !!
I am over weight I was morbidly obese most of my life. I did not eat cheese doodles and was far from lazy. I did have gastric and lost over 200 pounds and now stuggle again since I had 2 babies. I am happy to say I'm not morbidly obese but I am obese according to the 'chart'. However my doctor and I had a conversation and agreed that I am not in danger from my weight I am actually health. I think Carnie's point and a lot of us fighting the bulge point is we do not need to fight it so much if we are healthy but did not fit the overall image of others. I agree if you are obese and have health issues because of the excess weight you need to do whatever you can to get to a healthy weight for just that health reasons. By the way most people look at me and still would say I'm fat but hey long as I do not have diabetes, great blood pressure, good cholestrol and not health issues I'm okay with it... my health is my concern I want to live long and screw everyone else I'm happy.
embrace the fat. It is better to be thin for health reasons, but if you diet and exercise and are still overweight then embrace your plumpness.
Too much junk food and an unhealthly life style is why you're fat. No matter how you slice and dice it, obese people are not attractive. They're killing themselves. My advice to Wilson is to start being more responsible. Lose the weight not only for yourself but for your kds too. Stop blaming others for your horrible lifestyle and appearance.
I agree with you that obesity is not attractive on anyone but she's not obese here. Skinny is not attractive either though! For example, Angelina Jolie's body is NOT atttractive in my opinion. AJ's arms look emaciated and bony...is that what you consider attractive? Twisted!
some very cleaver snarks here, folks. keep em coming cuz she is nothing more than a narcissistic, publicity-hound who will be shilling for the next weight-loss scheme that will be advertised in people magazine.
For those ripping her apart you should be ashamed of yourselves.....You are why this country is the way it is and we have girls as early as 8 years old starving themselves....! She never once said ok I am fat and I am going to stay this way, she is simply saying she has a weight struggle and always has and she is now coming to terms with that and yes she will lose weight but may gain it back to. People get grips! She looks great!
junebug...sounds like someone needs to cut down on a few calories, get some exercise and re-think their menu selections, eh. you definitely will feel better and live longer...good luck to you in your quest.
All of you people talking about large people like they are addicts is sickening to me. Some people genuinely don't have control over how they got this way, and it certainly wasn't by eating cheesy poofs (I am overweight because I had a serious diease that required me to be on steroids for a year). Despite taking (honestly) every opportunity to eat right, exercise regularly and live an active lifestyle I can't seem to get down toa "normal" BMI.
Doctors run tests, they say I'm 100% healthy, physical trainer says I'm as active as I need to be and show no signs of obesity related problems.
Who are you to tell me that I'm just some lying alcoholic secretly sitting at home with a box of cookies? I bet I have worked harder on my body than you will ever have to. Just because you've been fortunate to never have a weight problem does not give you the right to talk down to people who look like me.
Don't take it personally. Food addicts, like alcoholics, do exist. Nobody is saying that you are one.
Sounds like Carnie Wilson has eaten too much "Carnie" asada.
ha
And chili con Carnie
Worrying about your weight for any reason other than being unhealthy is not worth your time. Keep up the cardio and damn your scale. You are, in a word, gorgeous.
She doesn't look "fat" to me in this picture. A little chubby maybe but she was FAT before the bypass. She doesn't even come close now to the size she was before.
I'd hit it.
LOL
It is sad someone stole her eyebrows and she had to use a sharpie to paint some on. But I see a lot of women doing this...guess there is an eyebrow thief on the lose.
check out the pic...does anyone other than myself see something kinda/sorta ironic in her posing in front of a curtain that is sponsoring "feed the children"? keeryst...she alone could suckle 'bout 1200 children with each of those humongous mammaries.
You're beautiful Carnie! We love you just the way you are!
Please speak for yourself. Fat people disgust a lot of folks. As in "throw up in your mouth."
As long as she didn't get a toy with her happy meal.
Did somebody just buy her a mirror or something? She's always been a tub of lard.
Remember when she was in the band, Two Dog Night?
Arooooooooooo!
excellent
"I'm fat"...no sh**t. And we are tired of hearing about it, seeing your surgery broadcasted, and reading every little story regarding your 'terrible struggle'. I am overweight, but dealing with it. Do the same, and relieve us of this tedium.
people have to learn to live comfortably in their own lives. It is not for the skinny to judge. To help you stay comfortable the whole day try these body liners. "Pambra's" makes the ORIGINAL bra liners for all sizes and the Original tummy liner for under the lower abdominal area.
@Jeff Regarding those tribes in African. In African, large women are venerated and much sought after because they are seen to be rich. One genetic marker, a fat pad in the sacral area, has been used to trace a genetic connection to a certain tribe in Africa. These male opinions have nothing to do with laziness, but with cultural bias. Look at classic films from the 40's and 50's women were much larger. Marilyn Monroe was a size 16. BTW, endocrine disorders and medication not lifestyle can cause a person to become obese.
Here fatty: http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/mmdress.asp
She was the equivalent of a size 8. Get your facts straight before saying something so plain stupid!
and the people who are defending her are probably just as fat/porky/tubby as she is. these folks who cannot bear to go an hour or two without popping a bon bon in their mouth are driving up the cost of health care because of their irresponsible habits... probably tea-partiers who want the govt not to intrude in their lives to the detriment of the population-at-large.
I'm laughing at all the men on here making issue of her weight. I'll bet you are all NOT goodlooking, in perfect shape, rich, talented and NICE. Unless you guys look like Clooney, Beckham, or Hugh Jackman, shut up. If you were so perfect, you would be spending time getting doted on by someone who adores you...and not reading an article and insulting some woman you'll never meet. She is pretty and better off not knowing you.
no offense but you probably are of the same body type. try cutting down on calories and get up off the couch, get some exercise and change your eating habits and i dont know if you will be a happier person...but you will definitely live longer.
Yeah, and you should stop eating bacon sandwiches.
Read the headline again. SHE made her weight the issue.
I wasn't aware only perfectly fit, handsome people were allowed to express an opinion on whether she's fat or not. Thanks for clearing that up.
ha...."im heavier"...heavier, my a**...she is morbidly obese and when she gets on a plane it gives credence to the phrase, "when pigs fly". total tool and hypocrite.
Let the fatties die young, you can be the nursing home resident having a weekly bath and a fresh diaper twice a day while you do nothing because nothing is what you have become.
yes, yes you are fat, I agree that you have to accept some things about yourself and it is healthy that you are doing that BUT to all the people saying this obese woman is "normal" and that the rest of us are "obsessed" all I can say is BS! complete and total BS!! fat is unhealthy and it is ugly BECAUSE it is unhealthy, I have a large frame and you might say I am genetically predisposed to being heavy but I'm not... why?? because it is simply not that hard to monitor what you eat and get some exercise and IF you do that you will not be fat, and don't give me that thyroid crap, I take a thyroid supplement for that, ya know if you just take responsibility for your own life these things come easy. and I am sick of paying insurance premiums at the same level as fatties who won't take care of themselves and use %80 of the resources! THAT is unfair! I'm 54 and weigh 10 lbs more than I did at 20, I'm not a gym rat or health nut, eat healthy foods instead of junk and get some frickin exercise .......
Hear, hear. I second that opinion.
And you are just UGLY?
She is a fat ugly hog!
In other news: Elton John is gay.
Really, get out of town. I never would have guessed. Now all of the overly obsessed fans can stand up and say "you go girl"; especially the fat fans who used to say they were big boned. This doesn't solve anything nor does it make any progress in all those chunky people out there who don't want to be that way. This only racks up another excuse to think it's acceptable. Most of the overweight people in this country will die because they are overweight and while curb smoking, alcohol or whatever, we still keep pounding that McDonald's while refusing to walk anywhere that is more than one block away. Want to be un-fat, change your diet, eat the 20 percent of the food in america that isn't unhealthy and exercise off more calories than you consume; those fad diets don't count.
Oh gee. Thanks for this advice that overweight people haven't ever heard before. Some of us have tried it and it simply doesn't work for us. I'm sure you have some issues too but maybe you're fortunate enough that they aren't all "out there" for the entire world to see and feel free to comment on.
Brenda, it usually doesn't work when you "try" by quenching your thirst after a long walk with Brer Rabbit syrup and chocolate sauce. If you'd exercise and drink water instead of bacon grease you might lose a little.
Robert, go crawl back under your rock and quit being hateful and rude behind your fake name. I've "tried" Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Body for Life, a personal trainer, medically supervised programs, eating a completely clean diet, etc. You go deal with your own issues and leave me alone to deal with mine. At least my personality isn't my issue like you.
I lost 6 lbs on a low carb diet last week. This weekend I ate 3 ounces of pasta and gained a pound–MY BODY WANTS TO BE FAT
This is obvious her way of taking away the power for people to hurt her. I agree with the comments that fat people own it because they want to maintain eating as much as they want whenever they want instead of adopting discipline. Luckily for fat people there is somebody for everybody – but GROSS!
I completely agree with Carnie, she is fat. She said it,, I'm just confirming it.
Who cares-just be happy for who you are and NOT a barbie!
More hard hitting news from CNN
What a fool! this is on the Entertain Page – if you are so interested in "hard" news, why did you come over here? What a poser.
your mom
Fat? She's perfect!!
I guess all those "experts" out there talking about lazy fat people and how they just need to eat right and exercise must have perfect looks. They should put themselves out there for all of the rest of us to critique. Let's see how they fare.
Carnie – You are gorgeous. All that meat in the seat doesnt change that. Hold your head up girl.
It's true that your weight should not be important. It is afterall an arbitrary number that is dependent on multiple factors. What people should be concerned about is athletic ability, and the truth is that basic human movements like running and pull-ups are compromised by obesity.
I don't care what you like, I just want to know how fast you can run a mile, and if you can do it under 6 minutes and weigh 300 lbs than that would be impressive. The only problem is that you can't, no one can.
You are still fine and beautifully HOT.
She has a psychological disorder in that she uses food as a way to control her emotions. "She is fat" is just a byproduct of that problem. If she could eat healthy and exercise more she would be fine. She and other obese people must stop claiming that food is the problem, it is their mindset. Some people would rather "accept they are fat" and die rather than look at the root cause. I dont know maybe she has looked at it from that perspective but not able to break through to the real problem. But at least state what the real problem is.
I am in shape! Round is a shape....
That picture that is shown at the top. She is far from fat. She is very beautiful there!
I hope that all the smart a**es talking trash about her weight know that someday, you too will have a weight issue. Age will catch up to you and I hope it rolls you over like a beached whale!!!
AMEN!!!
I'll 2nd that Amen!
Who says? I know lots of older people who are not fat, (or just carrying extra weight), just because they're older. Myself included. Sometimes that just comes about because we are not as active as we may have been at a younger age. I admit it's harder to shed gained weight when you are older and again that comes with lack of physical activity. When you're older you just don't have the same energy in your body even though you may have the resolve in your head. then you look at people like Jack LaLane. Didn't he just make a swim pulling a boat load of people? And he's 80 something?
Wow, what a simple way to abandon responsibility! I refuse to just keep buying larger and larger pants because I'm over 35. Your metabolism may slow down with age, but if you have discipline you can make up for it with effort.
Really. You honestly believe that after, say 35, discipline is all you need. Yeah...no, I don't think so. You are the people I watch jogging when it's say 15 degrees or 100 degrees outside. I think that requires more than discipline, maybe some mental problems. You do know you can die doing that? Hmmm..... let's see die of a heart attack or weather related issue? I think I'll go for the heart attack.
Jack LaLanne is a dirty old pervert. He only helped women work out so he could fondle their "respective" body parts. Get real!
There's nothing beautiful about fat people. They are disgusting.
Your disgusting!!!
Good for her. Now she can just concentrate on her wonderful life and not stress out about whether or not she's too heavy or not.
She's gorgeous. And I can relate to her struggles.
I was injured in an accident that left me disabled and unable to be active like I used to be.
She's hot!!
Your still hot, and you can still sit on my face!!! XOXO
I'd tapp that azz
Speaking from experience on the subject, when 16 working at a fast food restaurant. I stopped eatling for 2 – 3 days a week depending on the work schedule. I went from a junior size 13 to size 9. Then I gained a little weight back after I stopped working there and my M.D. put me on a liquid diet of 1000 calories. I could only handle 750, 3 meals instead of the snack horrible stuff. Exercised daily and gained 20 lbs. Everyone is different and you can only overly struggle so long. Enjoy what life you have.
It is unforntuate that the weight loss surgery she had 10 years ago didn't work for her. She had 1/2 of her stomach cut away and she still put the weight back on. I have watched her over the years turn herself into a pretzel just to get skinny with the personal trainers and dieting. I am happy that she finally found peace with herself and now accepts her body for what it is.
I have known quite a number of people who had bariatric surgery, lost a bunch of weight and then gained it all back and more. Until science can come up with a better explanation of weight control, there will still be overweight and underweight people. Many factors control our weight, including hormones, genetics, caloric intake and exercise, but it's not as simple as just "stop eating and get on the treadmill". For those of you smug self-righteous types out there, try walking a mile in an overweight person's shoes.
Why does all this woman ever think and talk about is about her being fat. It makes me think of soledad o brien who all she ever talks about is being black and about racial matters. Carnie looks fine and is very pretty. Get over you wieght Carnie and talk about something else.
And I thought she was just big-boned. Ah well, she is still pretty.
So put down the cheeseburger, have some fruit, get on a treadmill, and live your life in a healthy way. I'm sorry, there is absolutely no reason apart from being a lazy slob for anyone to weigh 300 pounds. I'm glad she lost some of it, but clearly the girl is obese. She has the money to hire a shrink, a coach, and a nutritionist. You eat less, you exercise more. Simple math, folks.
I can truly empathize with her... she has tried hard to keep off the weight. Some people are just predisposed to having bad genes. Yes, she probably has gotten off the wagon with her diet, but I think she looks great and wish her well.
I have a beautiful daughter who also has a weight problem. She is beautiful to me however, I am very concerned about her health. I don't criticize her yet, I do worry.
In other news, New York City has tall buildings
So does Qutar.
IMHO she looks much better than those sickly looking types, with their sunken eyes and clavicles you can cut cheese on. So she weighs a little bit more than she wants to, she's still pretty!
A "little more than she wants?" She seems to suggest that she's morbidly obese.
There's no indication that there is a physiological root to he obesity - and overweighters tend to want to blame their condition on anything other than themselves - so this is just lack of will power coupled with self-destructive dietary behavior.
No doubt she's a pig. Beautiful face, but still a pig.
FAT!
i heard they didn't use staples for the stomach "stapling" surgery, they used rivets
All the people posting all the B.S., please stop. She IS fat. It IS unhealthy, and god bless her for trying to lose the weight. As for the bleeding hearts, please get on the treadmill
Actually, SKINNY people can be just as unhealthy. Sure, exercise and a good diet are the way to go no matter what – keeps your heart healthy – but being "overweight" can actually be beneficial, especially when one is female. Society and media have a huge impact of the perception of beauty and health, and it's been proven that being too health conscious, to the point of extreme dieting and unnecessary excess of exercise can actually be just as harmful as being morbidly obese. However, looking at this woman now, she isn't fat. In fact, 60 years ago, she would have been considered to be absolutely perfect the way she is right now. As long as your are comfortable in your body and how you feel, then you're fine. Being heavy doesn't automatically make you unhealthy. Especially considering other factors – bone structure, muscle mass. I weigh 200 lbs. I'm 5'9", I have very strong, very dense bones, and a good portion of my weight comes from muscle mass. So yeah, it's good to exercise – but it's also good to know what's best for your own body, and if she's happy the way she is, then more power to her.
I thought that a drag queen.
Tell us something we don't know, Carnie.
She can do whatever she wants, but the fact is, our insurance dollars are paying for this and it is affecting all of us, because these patients have one complication after another then gain back the weight the majority of the times. All of the studies done showing the successes are done by–you guessed it–bariatric surgeons. We need some internal medicine docs who see these folks for the rest of their lives and don't have financial interest in it doing the studies. Wonder why your insurance rates are rising?
Let me guess, you think it's because of all of the fat people in the U.S., right? Perhaps we should deny fat people the right to buy food. That would solve their problems, I'm sure. Rising insurance costs couldn't have anything to do with big pharma companies charging $100 per pill, or people living longer and requiring more expensive meds to do so, or medical billing fraud. But right, let's just blame it on the fat people. That's an easy scapegoat.
I agree DenverGirl. And for the record, I'm very overweight and have been for over 20 years (and have tried every kind of exercise program, diet plan, and plain old healthy eating and it hasn't worked for me). But guess what? I am not on a single medication for anything. The only thing I've been hospitalized for is to have my tonsils removed. My blood pressure is wonderful. My cholesterol levels are normal. I am not diabetic. I'm overweight. But my health is just fine. I'm not responsible for your insurance rates. And I'm tired of people blaming overweight people for it all the time.
Mary, you are right on many levels. Insurance does take care of many illnesses that we bring upon ourselves because of diet and lifestyle. I don't know what the answer is with folks who blatantly disregard their own health by bad diets and drugs, alcohol, etc. So I guess, logically, we should take smokers, skydivers, race car drivers, drinkers, substance abusers or anyone with any hint of a dangerous type of lifestyle (decided on by the insurance companies of course) and make them ineligible for any health insurance.
By my unlearned estimate, that would leave approximately 15 people in America with a shot at insurance!
Yea, yea, she's a beautiful person on the inside, has nice hair, personality and all that. Regardless, being overweight is unhealthy and to just accept it as, "that's me", is a cop-out. She's giving up and rationalizing it to herself and sending the wrong message to others, including her children. This is not about a few extra pounds from holiday eating. Like she says, she's fat! It's like I heard Oprah tell Barbara Walters in an interview in TV last week. She doesn't have time to be concerned about her weight struggles anymore. However she has 2.7 billion dollars and that gives her the ability to only have to take time to say, "make me a salad". She has time to eat and get fat but no time to not eat and get thin? Funny how someone can be so intelligent but then can't handle a simple thing as watching your weight.
Overeating is an addiction like any other. It, however, does not help anyone to make fun of them or tell them that all they have to do is exercise and eat right. We have started to realize it does no good to tell an alcoholic or other drug addict to "just say no!" or to tell a smoker to just quit. The dynamics of addiction is not that simple.
going down and up the scale is dangerous for you physically and emotionally. yes, being "obese" stresses your body and systems – if you decide to live at that weight you should accept the risks, including a lower quality of life as you get older and/or dying younger. on the other hand, once you rid yourself of the stress ot looking a certain way, you can enjoy your life!
as long as she's healthy! size doesnt always determine health & i think she's gorgeous anyways!
Whaaaat! BMI is the primary indicator of health. I hate people like you. So stupid and with such big mouths. Yes I am talking about you – Miss Lane Bryant giant panties! Enjoy eating the gallon of ice cream in your fat lap right now!
ahhh dont you wish! i'm 5'6 and 128lbs fyi, and run on average 3 miles a day.(among other workouts) but i think shes a beautiful woman! she knows she's overweight whereas most overweight people see themselves as normal, thus getting them nowhere. She obviously is comfortable with how she looks, which most women cannot say for themselves, me being one of them! see how twisted our society has become. It is people like YOU who criticize and point out flaws that make things like this such an issue. i say flaunt it if youve got it & love it. i'm working towards a healthier self-image, and i only wish i could see myself the way she does.
For those who spew ugly comments so easily: she will always be able to lose weight, but you'll always be ugly to the core. It's common knowledge that those who are quick to cut others down are those with the most insecurity about themselves. Because of that, I feel sorry for you. Way to go Carnie. You're beautiful!
Fat or not, she's pretty hot
I'd do her.
Yes she is fat. But it's because she doesnt exercise nearly enough and she eats way too much of the wrong food. If she says she doesn't then she's a liar. She doesn't have to be fat but she lacks the discipline to be thin, and she has come to terms with that, so she quit. Nobody's saying she could be wafer thin, but she could be much thinner and relatively healthey instead of being morbidly obese. She will probably develop diabetes (if she hasn't already) and she will end up dying 5-10 years sooner that she would if whe had some self control. But it's her life, so if whe wants to live that way, that's her perogative.
Someone has been watching too many episodes of The Biggest Loser...
Are you saying Thomas is wrong? I guess The Biggest Loser is doing something right as we can see with our own eyes.
I have never seen one episode of that show. I am just a realist and facts are facts. Her morbid obesity is purely a matter of choice. With a little effort and self control she could easily be moderately obese or even just overweight. Sure it will be harder for her than for most people but life is not fair. I have dyslexia but I still graduated college, I just had to work a little harder.
Citizen, most Biggest Loser contestants regain at least some of the weight they lose during their time on the show once the money incentive is gone. A few have developed eating disorders. Do your research.
Alicia,
Don't be offended but that was kind of a stupid reply. All I'm saying is The Biggest Loser knows how to get people where they should be and gives them that knowledge. What the people do with it after the show is up to them. It's called having some self-control, especially when you have the formula that worked and experienced it. If being healthy and lean is not enough incentive, especially when you hear the stories these people tell, I don't know what could be.
"But it's because she doesnt exercise nearly enough and she eats way too much of the wrong food. If she says she doesn't then she's a liar."
Wow it must be nice to "know" what you know Thomas. I mean to be able to spend all day with her every day so you "know" what she's eating and how much she works out...fantastic for you.
I hate how people think they have the answers....wake up, the world is not black and white and everyone is different. The girl has struggled for years for a reason. Maybe... just maybe there is more to her story.
Right Citizen, because everyone can spend 4-6 hours a day in the gym and not work or worry with children. That is simply not reality. There certainly something to be said about eating healthy and exercising, but what you see on the biggest loser is not real life. It's a manufactured environment for quick weight loss. People have to transition back into real life and find some way to balance everything that living requires of us (e.g. working 8-10 hours a day, taking care of children and family) with eating and living healthily.
Thomas, so glad you live in her head and know exactly what her "problem" is. Maybe she is a food addict? Many people are hooked on different things and food is really no different. There could be dozens of reasons why she is over her ideal weight, but really it is no one's business but hers and her families. With healthy and helpful, loving support most people can relax and not make food their focus as much. Berating people, handing out insults as if you have no problems or issues of your own, and being generally clueless does not do anything to encourage people.
DenverGirl,
You are right. The Biggest Loser is extreme. But if you want it bad enough you'll make it happen even if it means lifting gallon jugs of milk while you're home with the kids. Jog to the maillbox, move alittle faster in the supermarket. Little changes can make a big difference. I think we can pretty much all agree a lot has to do with what you stick in your mouth. If you didn't eat you'd die. So you eat. Do you eat a box of Twinkies or carrots and fat-free Ranch dressing? Can you eat one Twinkie but also carrots? I hope you can agree that once you have your body is properly metabolized it can be kept that way with minimal effort. Do you believe that working 8-10 hours a day adds or removes weight? Do you think that all the other activities, (aside from eating), that you do in a day adds or removes weight? Look, I know there are people who just can't help themselves or have some issue that is beyond good eating habits and some exercise. However when you see the stories about the obesity problems in this country, that can't apply to all of them.
Kiwimama,
1) I have already acknowleged that she is probably a food addict
2) I have already stated that her weight is her perogative
3) I have not berated or insulted her at all. Calling someone morbidly obese is not an insult.
But thanks for pointing those things out. You make good points.
Thomas, you are either a former fat person who now knows EVERYTHING about being thin. Or you are a super thin, self hating, image conscious gym rat.
She doesn't seem to be making excuses per say, it seems as if she has given up. When you have gastric bypass and still gain weight back you have serious issues with eating and exercise.
Also, genetics do play a role. And anyone who says they do not is an idiot. If people are genetically predisposed to cancer or other hereditary diseases then why is it not possible that different humans, created by two different humans don't have a genetic normal? Why is that that people believe that NORMAL is what everyone says it is. All people are different, plain and simple. I think the normal for some is ultra thin, others it is larger. But there are extremes to either. If you are genetically disposed to being ultrathing then not eating and exercising puts you at risk. If you are genetically disposed to being a large person then eating like a cow and sitting on your butt will lead to health issues.
But all of us sitting here thinking some goofy scale created 50 years ago that says all 6 billion humans should fall into a height and weight scale is absurd.
Look at a 350 football player with their gut hanging over their pants....exercise like mad but eat like horses. Now explain that and why they don't die young? Also explain the marathon runners who drop dead? Genetics play a role.
But in the case she is a naturally fat person who has done nothing to control herself. She gives up.
But she's so pretty.
you must mean AND she's so pretty
Some people are skinny, some people are fat, some people are in between. For me, I am 5'7" and with my frame and muscle tone, I look positively deathly if I'm anywhere under 150 pounds. But to listen to Hollywood, you'd think I am obese and should be trying to lose about 40 pounds. I am glad Carnie is happy with herself.
REALLY! She just now figured out she's fat! Wow.
did you read the article she lost 150 pounds so she was down to 150-160 before she had her children and she is currently losing weight through her own means. don't be a jerk alot of woman especially struggle with weight issues.
did you read the article, she lost 150 pounds so she was down to 150-160 before she had her children and she is currently losing weight through her own means. don't be a jerk alot of woman (especially) struggle with weight issues.
or, you could say
I like eating a lot. Don't feel like eating healthy and /or exercising. If you're fat it's because you eat the wrong food and more than likely lack self control. Unless you are 6'7" and play O-Line you should not be that heavy.
Granted different people have different metabolisms, however being obese is just laziness and a lack of will power
Or thyroid problems, which I have. It makes it difficult to loose weight long term, even with meds. Combine that with other endocrine issues, i.e. polycystic ovarian syndrome, which cause weight gain, and it becomes difficult. Not sure if she has any of these, but from personal experience, I can say that loosing weight is already hard, adding endocrine issues makes it even tougher. You don't know until you've been there.
I have PCOS and I'm 115 pounds. I've also had a 10 pound 3 ounce baby. I eat healthy and I eat appropriate portions. Some people in my family can't stop eating until they can't move. It's will power, people.
Excuses...you got lucky. My oxidation wasn't diagnosed for three years. I was a college athlete, ate right and exercised daily. I changed 4 dress sizes in 8 months. I practically stop eating and exercised obsessively. Now I have half a thyroid, diabetes and I'm on heavy hormones to prevent ovulation. I have done everything and never lose any weight. I went on a 500 calorie diet lost twenty pounds and some of my hair. I doubt you really have PCOS.
I was diagnosed with PCOS on Thanksgiving day of 2004 when I was in crippling abdominal pain due to a ruptured cyst. I've since had another rupture, but they're few and far between as I'm now on medication for it. I guarentee you I have PCOS. My son was a miracle.
She's fat, that's obvious and we all, including Carnie, get that...However, I have to say she looks stunning in the picture above...Her hair is to die for, her makeup is flawless and she looks lovely in that dress and jewelry...
She is so beautiful. Some ppl can pull off their weights no matter what. She rocks!
Karen, I agree. She has a beautiful face, and unlike some of the skinny actresses who have perfect size 0-2 bodies, they look so hideous in the face it stops a train for all the wrong reasons....ppl that come to my mind: Jennifer Anniston (the ultimate horse face), Cameron Diaz – beautiful body but the face of a troll, and Sarah Jessica Parker – again a beautiful body but a face that makes you want to turn away....Carnie has beautiful skin, beautiful eyes, hair and nose – she could probably pull off that 300 lbs too.
As a hetero man I must agree with the last comment. I think I would do a woman like Carnie long before I did one of the sticks that are on TV. My top five list of holleywood acctresss I would not do even if offered $100,000 – 1) Jessica Sarah Parker (horse face) 2) Renne Zellwigger (prune face) 3) Cameron Diaz (stick face) 4) Julia Roberts (looks horrible without makeup and 5) Lucy Lu (sneer face). Give me a cushion with a nice face than a stick with the face of a concentration camp escapee anyday.
It isn't nice to rage against fit people for having ugly faces. You can't just say mean things because someone is in shape to balance out the fact that fat people are seen as unattractive. You are just being a bully, despite your intentions of fighting for the underdog. And btw, jenifer aniston does not have a horse face and none of the women you listed are in my top 10 (because I do like curves) but Kim kardashians has curves. Being 300lbs isn't curves no matter how much cosmo misuses the term. To each their own of course
smasheduprr, yes she does have a horse face. Stop sticking up for ugly people. They should all get their faces fixed and stop grossing everyone out with their ugliness.
You're lazy before fat......burn more calories that you eat....simple
Read and you won't be stupid. Simple.
Read and you won't be stupid? Read and you might not be so ignorant - but stupid seems to be forever.
And you are gorgeous. Don't ever sell yourself short!

Geese guys, enough with the grammer lesson. When you are typing sometimes the fingers type faster than your internal spell check. Not everyone is so concerned with grammer on a casual observance site as you and some others are. When typing quickly, a finger slip or grammer slip is not uncommon. Lighten up.
@kiwimama GRAMMAR
BEWARE THE GEESE GUYS
I'm so glad we have the grammer police on here. You know it's so f'ing important for them to make sure you know they got an A in English and probably got to tell on the other kids when they misbehaved. I don't believe any one is writing a novel or magazine article when they blog on here, but for some people it must be their life and to judge others, so they just sit back and gaze at all of their profound words used correctly in a comment about something that means nothing in the news.
no one cares about the grammar. donate your time and energy as a tutor to an underprivledge child.
Good for Carnie. I have been watching her in the media ever since Wilson Phillips was popular and she never seems to be able to keep it off... I really do believe that some people are just genetically FAT and that Carnie is one of those people. Good that she is embracing her natural shape.
You're wrong to believe that. Some people are genetically programmed to have slower metabolisms and some people are genetically programmed to be more prone to food addictions, but that's not the same thing. If she ate 2000-2500 calories of the right foods, in the right intervals, with a reasonable amount of exercise, then she would not be morbidly obese as she is now. Stop making excuses for why pepple are fat.
Thomas, then how do you explain the fact that she continually returns to her original weight? She has tried numerous diets as well as "just eat healthy and exercise," and she stays overweight. Personally, if I were in her shoes, I would rather accept myself for who I was rather than go insane wondering if I could "afford" another slice of apple for dinner.
Alicia, it's simple. She's not being completely honest. Sure she might try to diet from time to time but chances are she isn't sticking to a healthy diet (and I am not talking about apple slices) and she is probably not exercising the way she says she is. Food addicts are not that much unlike drug addicts in that they are ashamed of their actions so they lie to themselves and they lie to others about the things they do. That's how I explain it.
Thomas is absolutely right. It's simple math. Take in less calories than you burn and lose weight. For example, how many obese Africans do you see in those poor countries? That being said, she's free to be fat. I just hate it when people make excuses and then teach their kids to eat the same way they do.
Jeff – Not quite that simple. There's a point where you are not taking ENOUGH calories in, and your body reacts by taking any calories it can and storing them into fat.
If you are indeed taking in enough calories for your body, but exerting more energy in exercise than you take in with food – then yes – you will lose weight.
The problem is that most people don't know that – and almost EVERY diet omits that fact. The answer IS simple – eat the correct amount of calories, with a good balance of nutrition, and workout – and you WILL lose weight. Stop the exercise – and you will GAIN weight. All of these other "diets" are frauds – that's the ONLY thing you need to know to lose weight! YOU MUST MOVE TO LOSE WEIGHT.
@Thomas Had my doctors listened to me, when I told them I was inexplicably gaining weight, they would have diagnosed the pituitary tumor before it caused my weight gain due to excess cortisol pouring into my body, the loss of thyroid function and production of human growth hormone. All of these hormones play a role in controlling weight loss and weight gain. Many medications, including birth control pills cause weight gain. So while you are accusing people like me of being lazy, they may be sick or taking a medication that is causing the weight gain. My tumor ruptured and I am blessed to be alive and not blind. Better to fat and alive, than skinny and dead.
bill are you kidding me– you store fat when below a certain caloric intake– that is a myth.. have you ever read the any of the work on semi starvation diets done at the university of minnesota... yes metabolism may decrease by up to 40% but it is still math, less in than out you lose weight. And even in those cases your body never stores fat, it just burns a higher percentage of lean body mass in ratio to fat something like 40% lean 60& fat. and to add to that unless you are under 5% (which fatty is not) this really does not become a big issue....
Brain tumor? Not likely. If she had such a condition, don't you think she'd be publicly discussing that, too? She said herself that "I'm fat." That's it.
Why is our society so uppity about admitting when people are overweight? Has anyone noticed that we have 'scaled up' the norm for what is considered thin? 15 years ago, when I was a size 4, I would have been considered average sized woman. I'm a 4-6 now, and it baffles me how often I'm referred to as thin. And I'm no beanpole, either. I'm 5'1", so my BMI is close to the 'healthy' range. In fact, I could stand to lose a few pounds, but I don't talk about that around women larger than me because they freak out. Why can't someone want to slim down without being accused of having an eating disorder these days?
PS: Wilson recently lost a deal as spokesperson for a diet food company because she was not losing weight. At the same time she was selling her own line of cheesecakes. Do the math, folks.
You can believe that, Alicia, but it's simply not true. Some people's metabolisms might be different, but it just means they have to work harder at it than other people – not that they should just give up. Look, I have bad gums, but that doesn't mean I have to just resign myself to my teeth falling out, it just means I have to brush my teeth more and go to the dentist more often than other people – or my teeth fall out.
It's pretty simple Alicia. Dieting is bs. Almost everyone yoyos in weight on a diet. It's part of our unhealthy culture where health is marketed the same way as a get rich quick scheme. To be healthy and in shape, you have a DIET (not a "diet") that is consistently healthy. Like everyone of course you cheat sometimes but it is a lifelong goal towards health. I'm coming at this from the skinny guy who learned how to gain weight but honestly a lot of the same principles apply. Understand nutrition and have a real workout routine, not some bs fad of the day crunches DVD and you will feel a lot healthier along with the realization that you look a lot healthier too. And by healthier I do mean muscular and lean because that is what healthy is (not ano or obese). If you have a gland problem obviously we are talking about a different playing field but that isn't who I am confronting.
Go back and watch her on Celebrity Fit Club. SHE WAS NOT DOING THE RIGHT THINGS! It is her inability to accept responsibility that is causing the fluctuations in her weight. People think that just because you do the surgery you will be thin. Guess what, YOU STILL HAVE TO EAT RIGHT! When I gain weight it’s because of conscious choices THAT I MAKE. I know when I pack on an extra 10 lbs it’s because I'm eating out all the time. You know how I lose it? I make home cooked meals and exercise.
And for the poor excuse, that’s BS as well. I came from a family of little means and we able to make it without McDonald’s and Burger King. In all actuality its cheaper to make your meals. When you eat out you pay for 1 meal per person. When you cook at home you make 1 meal for multiple people. On top of that you normally have leftovers.
I applaud shows like the Biggest Loser that show with diet, exercise and personal responsibility ANYBODY CAN LOSE WEIGHT. There have been some that have added it back on, the thing about it is, they understand now that it is THEIR OWN FAULT. I’m sick and tired of the BS surrounding weight. I don’t condone those people that control their weight by simply not eating either. Thinness is not a sign of healthiness. To truly be healthy you eat nutritional meals AND EXERCISE. We live in a sedentary society. And until we realize that there is something other than fast food and TV’s, this issue will not stop.
In other breaking news – Water is Wet
Department of the Obvious – that is THE funniest log on ID I have seen yet....can't stop laughing.
And we wonder why our health insurance is going up? She is Fat and will die young or be put on if not already on meds because of her weight. It is a choice in most cases and she made her choice to be fat and a bad example for her kids. Ten to one her kids will also be big.
Then again yinga, you might just get hit by a bus tomorrow and we will be stuck footing the bill for your uninsured rear-end, which I am sure will cost us much more than what Carnie's death (that you already have planned out)... which will be zero since she had a career and made money, unlike you.
Carnie does seem like a wonderful woman. I wish her the best! We all have struggles, hers happens to be public. She's still a pretty woman no matter what.
If she is so pretty then why don't you marry her...or do her...or be seen with her as your lover. So you think fat is beautiful? So are smokers and drug addicts. Oh wait. She is a real prize – you get all three with this one.
theTruth, (what a stupid name for you), Carnie has been married for years to a very handsome man who loves her very much no matter what she weighs. You are an idiot, and before you even say a word, no, I am not overwieght and don't think obesity is wonderful. Neither is rudeness and over-the-top hatefulness.....
I'm a straight woman, I'm surprised you said that to me! I don't like to use the word "fat". As a thin woman, I make it a priority to stay in shape, work out, and eat healthy. On Eatocracy, I've made that clear.
I was just making a comment about her admitting she has issues to the public was admirable. I do not condone being overweight, I actually work at a weight loss centre.
I don't find drug users or smokers attractive either! I like my cute, muscular husband
I guarantee you that the truth is one ugly looking troll. Probably fat to top it off.
And poor. What a pathetic loser. Probably nearing the end of its life, too.
IN RELATED NEWS THE SKY IS BLUE
Bahahahahaha
Variations in body type are part of what make people interesting. I would rather be fat and happy than constantly dieting and stressing out over it!
Sure, be fat and happy and die young because of it.
"Diet" is a word for people who don't know how to eat. Learn about nutrition, learn to cook, learn about portions and then just live your life.
Or, stop being so lazy. Learn to cook. Take responsibility of your life and stop blaming others for your problems.
Easy for you to say JEFF. Tell the poor to learn about nutrition when all they can afford is the mac & cheese or cheaper less healthy food options. Tell that to the poor whose choice for dining out is a fast food restaurant because that's all they can afford.
@Jeff...you are exactly right. It's all about balance. Learn about portion control and get active! If you have kids, play with them. If you don't find activities that you love to do. Get off the couch and make better choices with the food you eat. Educate yourself. You don't have to give up the things you love, just learn how to not rely on them to make you feel better. You will find that the weight slowly drops off and that feeling is better than ANY comfort food.
Saying people who are poor have to be fat is silly. Educate yourself and find out ways to eat healthy on a budget. And you do not have to take the family to fast food joints! That is a copout. Make meals fun and enjoyable at home and you'll all be healthier. Involve the whole family in researching recipes and food ideas on the Internet. There is no reason anyone has to go fill up at the McDonalds trough.
JoJo,
Internet access is free at the library - as is a mountain of nutrition information. Good food may be slightly harder to prepare - and might even be a little more expensive. But even crappy food needs to be OVEREATEN in order for people to gain weight. Stop making excuses for people who need to make real changes - for them AND their kids.
SUZY (original commenter): Suzy, you're right and the haters who have replied are wrong. The amount of time, and mental / physical / emotional effort, wasted on worrying about weight, is time and energy lost forever - time and energy that could be devoted to being productive and happy.
Yes, there are health issues, but folks, mind your own business. Every life has some risk factors: driving in the rain, playing football, wearing high heels, smoking & drinking, etc. Live your life and I'll live mine, and realize the expense heavy people supposedly add to our nation's health bills is no worse than the expense added by motorcyclists, runners, ballet dancers (have you seen their FEET), pregnant people, and so on.
I write this as someone that has struggled with weight and eating his entire life. Nothing brings out the idiotic repsonses like the issue of obesity and nutrition.
Yes, some people are just more comfortable fat. Fine. Leave them alone. Don't try to preach abou how they need to watch portion control or exercise – unless YOU'VE lost a lot of weight, you have absolutely ZERO experience on how hard it is – to break habits and psychological patterns, to be active when you are overweight, and so on. It's like trying to tell someone to quit smoking that it's as easy as not smoking. Yes, people with weight and eating issue control what they put in to their mouths, but they don't always feel like they do. Giving people grief about their weight and telling them things they already know about it is simply ignorant, self serving, and insulting. Most people that are overweight have lost weight over and over in their lives, only to gain it back and more, and likely know more about weight loss and nutrition that you do. Most overweight people are NOT lazy, as they are constantly told – I've lost over 75 lbs three times in my life, and let me tell you it's work. Many people just give up.
Think about it, this article is about someone who famously had a weight problem, then famously got thin through surgical methods, then gained it all back – this is not someone that hasn't gone to extremes to try to lose weight, and has done in publicly, which kind of brave. But this article is basically her throwing in the towel.
On the flipside, the obese need to cool it with the "as long as I'm happy" or "natural body weight" or "artificial cultural standards" or "it's my metabolism" nonsense, and recognize that they have a choice on whether they are overweight or not, and there is nothing remotely natural, attractive, or healthy about being overweight. Your weight is directly connected to food going in your mouth. If you don't feel like you have control over what goes in your mouth, you are borderline eating disorder. This is not normal, and it's why you are looked down on by people that don't have these issues.
Well, Chuck... the good thing is that by typing all of those words, you've burned a good 25 to 35 calories.
You're a d-i-ck bag Scale
@ CHUCK
"It's like trying to tell someone to quit smoking that it's as easy as not smoking."
So you're saying I can't critique someone until I've made poor decisions and then fought back from them?
I don't see it. I work hard NOT to make bad decisions. 4 out of 5 meals in my house are cooked by us. We grow a garden. We eat way more vegetables than rice. When I eat out, I stop before I'm full and get the rest of the food to go. Then my co-worker, who's drinking pop out of a 64oz cup at 9 in the morning tells me it's my natural born metabolism.
That's where my criticism comes from.
The overweight population is a huge burden on this country from a productivity level, a healthcare level, and a quality of life level.
How does that not effect everyone?
"We eat way more vegetables than rice."
Ugh. Should've said "We eat way more vegetables and rice than meat."
Your 100% correct about that Carnie .
She's pleasantly plump, momma cass was fat.
Carnie or Carne? Meat!
In other news, the sun continues to set in the West.
As a doctor when the BMI is over 35 your pretty overweight. BMI stands for
big mac inclined
"your pretty overweight"? Her overweight is pretty?
I wonder if we could get her to eat Paris Hilton. One bite. She could even barf her back up after a couple of hours. Just think...2 hours without Paris Hilton. Sigh.
AND YOUR BEUTIFUL NO MATTER WHAT!!
It weight-obsessed modern society telling you you're fat. You're not fat-you're normal!!
You're as in "you are". Been here long?
BEUTIFUL?
Nikki = duh (or in your case DOH!)
Your = go to YOUR room; get into YOUR car. You're = YOU ARE = You're beautiful; You're going to the store in YOUR car.
That's right I wouldn't push it away:)
RAE used the words "Your" instead of "You're" and "beutiful" instead of beautiful.
And this forum doesn't have spellcheck, merely spellcheckers.
I think it's fantastic that we live in a society in which someone who has mediocre talent can be more famous for being fat than for being anything else. People, get a life, huh?
The Eternal Satyr
Is English your second language?
Sorry Nikki – just because this country is full of fat and obese people, that doesn't make it right. Obesity is not healthy for anyone.
She looks great!
Unless you are morbidly fat.
Do you think other people (a.k.a. anorexic) are equally beautiful. Both are killing themselves. When you say "you are beautiful" you are enabling them and a whole generation to have eating problems.
People like you make me sick!
How is this news???
To "Grammar Police" and "Grammaranyone?": Bravo to you. I thought I was the only one who was depressed by the incredibly poor state of grammar and spelling these days. I'm not a grammar genius myself, but jeez, it seems like most people haven't progressed beyond first grade. I realize some of the people who post comments are not native English speakers, but a lot of them are (or are supposed to be).
UR
BEEYUUTIFOL
This "Grammaranyone" is a freakin' moron. I hate when people correct others on grammar, especially when they are
the one's that are wrong. Hey, Grammaranyone, STFU !!!
Just use "ur" and the spelling and grammar nazis will leave u alone. Pretend ur texting and just left ur brains at the door.
Ignore the grammar police. The point of your comment is spot on.
stfu danman. nobody is saying that being fat is ok. they are saying she is fat, but that doesnt make her a hideous, leper or something. she is still a human and just because she is fat doesnt mean anything. being fat is really unhealthy, but cancer is unhealthy too. would you say a cancer patient is nasty? no. so why are you talking crap about how nasty fat people are. and YES, cancer can be caused by the person. I.E., working in a job that you know can give you cancer, or smoking can also give you cancer, etc. it isnt always just an accidental thing. my point is, stfu and get off your high horse and stop acting like you are so great or something.
Did the person mean beautiful or bountiful?
I still think Carnie Wilson is beautiful at any weight. I get tired of women having to be one size just to be beautiful. Beauty comes in many sizes.
http://thefashioncamp.com
your retarded
Ick. But to each their own – I find fat people very unappealling and would never date one no matter how cool she is (I would just be buddies with her), but my good friend will only date chubby/fat girls. That's why we have all different types.
Are you sure, "NO MATTER WHAT?"
Um, no you're not. Your still fat.
No, you're just fat as heck and no one cares.
The greatest love of all is easy to achive... Learning to love yourself...is the greatest love of all...( as the great song goes) a person should learn to accept his/her self before other does. So Carnie if you call yourself fat ass then that makes you a fat ass...people should not feel sorry about you and your sob story.
Yes Carnie, you ARE fat...
She looks pretty in that picture... nothing wrong with a little extra... as long as it's not sagging everywhere.
Having English as one's first language is definitely not a prerequisite to writing good English. It's just that you have not seen much of the world outside your own country. You would be surprised to read the English literature of countries like India which were until recent years under British occupation. Being able to speak(forget the accent for a second) and write impeccable English was and still is a must to get into the prestigious Indian Civil Services. Just giving you the Indian perspective. I am pretty sure there would be people from other countries that believe the same.
Sorry Nikki. It's not "weight obsessed modern America" telling her she's fat, it's doctors. Odds are, she'll die 20 years before the average woman will. Most likely, it will be diabetes that kills her, but heart disease could do her in as well. 200 lbs for her height is going to cut a decade off her life. 300 lbs and she could drop dead any day. There is a reason they would call someone her height at 300 lbs "morbidly obese". Losing weight is hard, but also simple. All she has to do is exercise more, and eat less. I offer a money back guarantee on that suggestion.
um what? fat slob..
Normal in which culture? America's obesity rates trump all other nations.
Nikki, fat is not normal. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better about being a cow. Being fat is unhealthy, plain and simple. Fat people who get upset because society pushes an ideal body type that doesn't match yours have two choices: stay fat and live with it or lose weight and get healthy. Don't try and make your obesity everyone else's problem, you fat slob.
This is not a college course. It's communication. Everybody knows what was meant so communication was successful. Nitpickers that feel a need to point out spelling & grammar errors in online forums, emails, texts etc., must be a lonely bunch.
Why is this newsworthy? PS She's very pretty!
Some folks just can't seem to push themselves away from the dining room table. The lure of food, especially fast foods, is more important than the desire to maintain a healthy weight. That's how she wants to live her life...so be it!
Not being able to distinguish between "you're" and "your" is a sign of either utter stupidity or utter ignorance.
Don't worry, Carrie. It could be worse. You could look like Bristol Palin ..............
WOW you are fat. Ok no worries get off your extra large butt and start walking, and drinking water and eatting right and work out!!
Not quite. Once you're not beautiful you're not beautiful. If we are talking beauty of person, that's a different matter. But that's not what people mean when they say "take me as I am". They usually mean "I'm fat and you must accept me that way." This is a fine starting point so long as you really believe it and are content with the fact that very few other people will. Fat people should not be discriminated against, but nor should they expect people to consider them beautiful. Some will of course which is fine, but most will not.
Look fat people need loving too. But it is sad that her kids will grow up without a mother.
Hats off to you, Carnie! We all need to feel comfortable in our own skins and you're a terrific role model.
Well she is fat. She got that right. But I would still do her – not like I would go after her but if she came to me I won't say no.
Hey Check
If you're going to comment on anyone else's grammar, for God's sake figure out where to put your apostrophes. "the one's that are wrong"? Cretin.
Everybody knows that McDonalds is unhealthy. Period. Everyone knows that being overweight can cause some serious health problems. Everyone knows that exercise, healthy eating and moderation is the way to go. What nobody is saying is that SOME people eat too much because it's an addiction. It's not an excuse, just an explanation. It's the same as being addicted to anything else that's unhealthy. The problem is: you have to have food to live. You don't have to smoke or drink to live. This creates a problem. So while it's easy to say get up and exercise, it's not very easy to do. Also, some people can exercise and eat healthy and STILL be considered "big". Some people just don't care how big they get. Lastly, if you have struggled with weight most or all of your life, it really can consume you. You are aware of every calorie you put into your body and whether or not it's a good calorie, you stress out over it. This can be very debilitating and discouraging. So, if you've been thin all your life or don't have a eating problem, have a care when posting comments about a subject in which you have no experience. That's it. Have a happy Christmas, everybody!
Gastric bypass surgery is being used to help people who are addicted to food lose weight but they will always gain it back because it doesn't really treat the problem. They have a need to eat whether they are hungry or not. They will always gain weight back after this surgery. Surgically shrinking their stomachs doesn't solve their problem. It is a shame that health insurance is covering this surgery when it doesn't really treat their condition in the long run. I work with someone who ate so much shortly after her surgery she ended up in the hospital. I doubt she was hungry. Several years later she has gained most of her weight back. Our company's insurance plan paid for this. It annoys me because those of us who watch what we eat and exercise are in the long run helping to pay for this as health insurance is getting more and more expensive, our copays, coinsurancs, deductibles and premiums become higher. To me these people need counseling, both phsychlogical and nutritional and they need to exercise. The woman I work with who had this surgery only to gain the weight back eats candy all day and says "you'll never catch this body in the gym"
If being fat doesn't kill her, the long-term consequences of the surgery will – eventually. Iif she lives to be 65, she MIGHT weigh 100 pounds, and be severely malnourished. Rupture her current surgically-altered gut NOW, and it's a horrible picture. The moral behind the article shoud be that the quick and easy fix isn't always the wisest. And SHE, the one who had her surgery BROADCAST, shoud be the first one to come out and say it.
Being FAT is not normal, she is going to be a burden on the health care system. FAT is DEATH!!!
