KIRSTIE (ALLEY) CHECKS INTO FAT FARM

N.E. ^

Sitcom queen Kirste Alley makes like human zeppelin, docks at fat farm for quick fix.

Alarmed as her weight skyrocketed toward 300 pounds, a desperate Kirstie checked into a fat farm and began grueling six-days-a-week workout sessions.

The distraught actress collapsed and broke down in tears when her weight soared to a record 250 pounds, as The ENQUIRER reported in late June. But she was unable to put the brakes on her out-of-control bingeing.

Racing to avert disaster, Kirstie started a new diet and exercise routine, but ended up adding another 15 pounds - and hit the 265-pound mark in mid-September.

She knew she had to get professional help…fast.

"Her breakdown was a blessing in disguise - it was the wake-up call she needed," revealed a source close to the 5-foot-8 actress.

"She realized she had to take drastic measures or she could die."

K.A. has a good heart and an addictive personality. She should have her stomach stapled and be done with it.

[VeniVidiVici]

Yup. I think she’s about ready to be harvested.

Having lost a few pounds in my day I can attest to the fact that if you burn more calories than you take in over any noteworthy period of time you *will* lose weight.It ain't rocket science.It's *that* simple.

Rut-Row.

You better have on a helmet and flak jacket, the "that doesn't work for me, I have a hormone imbalance" crowed will be here shortly.

I am so sorry for your loss, how awful! I am very scared my mother is headed down the same road, she is not a smoker but keeps getting heavier and heavier, now has diabetes, mild kidney disease, high blood pressure and has had knee surgery on both knees. I already lost my dad 4 years ago, I fear she is next. :(

Maybe even a cheese-whiz addiction.

[television is just wrong]

I am so sorry.

this is true... i had always been the kind of person who could eat whatever she wanted and not gain an ounce... until i hit my 30's... all of a sudden my clothes were splitting down the seams, i could not zip up the jeans i had worn for a decade... i said, "forget that noise... i will not have any of this!" i burn more calories than i consume... it works...

[nufsed]

Did you try buying bigger clothes?

I’ve always wondered something..how does one get to be 480 pounds? At some point doesn’t someone say something? At some point you look in the mirror and you are so disgusted with yourself you do something. What happened to your sister, do you think?

[chris_bdba]

Even that isn’t a guarantee. Roseann Barr had that done and still gained back all of her weight plus more. She needs lots of help to get over the “binge” part and get to the eat to live part and leave the live to eat thing behind!

Hmmm....Service Men dying in Afghanistan...
Kirstie Alley in a fat farm....

Or...Service Men dying in Afghanistan so some lard ass can go to a fat farm....

I DON’T F**KING CARE!!!!!!!!!

Get a Clue people!

[pallis]

She has my prayers and best wishes.

[Lizavetta]

I hear you, babe. I got to 190 lbs. after four kids from simply eating more than I was burning.

Guess what? I'm now 135 lbs. and look fabulous from...hello...exercising and eating less. There is no magic. There is no special diet. There is no secret.

Get off your ass and eat less. It's that simple.

[InvisibleChurch]

Well, it doesn’t sound like anyone can get “close” to her, if you know what I mean. After that thoughtless comment, I have to add after having read the article that she seems concerned with pleasing/proving to other people that she can do it, especially orpah. She will only find success or at least contentment when she decides to do it for herself. She seems to have oodles of security issues and drowns them in comfort foods. Dieting and excercising are ok at best but maddening at worst when they end up as a yoyo. It’s a lifelong lifestyle change that only requires a little bit here and a little bit there. Not bunches at a time.

[SuziQ]

Bless her heart; and I don't mean that in the snarky Southern way. Having been there and done that, a couple of times, I can truly sympathize with Kirstie. I'm on the way down, now, and have held at 50 pounds down for a year. Now I gotta work on the remaining 70!

I know what to do, as Kirstie does, but it takes a real change of attitude as well as habits. It also takes getting up off your butt and exercising, which I can find so many excuses NOT to do! Regular exercise is a habit I haven't quite cultivated, but which I need to do, if I'm ever gonna reach my goal.

[onedoug]

Good luck to her. Though it hasn’t been just Chi Dynasty, whom she’s blamed before.

[StolarStorm]

I said the same thing on another thread and got ripped apart. I didn't think it was such a confusing subject for some people. It IS simple.

If your body does indeed have a hormone balance that lowers metobolism... then eat less until your body doesn't gain weight. Guess what, people with LOW metabolisms AND who eat less, live longer then everyone else. Just cause you feel hungry doesn't mean you body needs twinkie.

[Vendome]

How many Twinkies does it take to get to 300 tons?
