KIRSTIE (ALLEY) CHECKS INTO FAT FARM
N.E. ^

Posted on 10/06/2009 8:18:25 PM PDT by traumer

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."

Prayers for Ms. Alley. I hope she can beat back whatever demons she has, lose the weight and start enjoying life again.

That is so not-funny. I never had anything against her, though I always thought she was a bit too old to play Saavik in The Wrath of Khan.

And I thought I had a problem with Ben & Jerry’s. Even Oprah’s decades-long yo-yo-ing falls far short of this. It must be absolutely terrible to have no control.

Gruesome man, gruesome.

Oh dear. Too many ‘clams’? Or was she just ‘entheta’? Guess she needs a ‘purif rundown’.

I just lost my baby sister in July. She weighed 480 pounds and was a heavy smoker. She left 4 children and a husband behind. It was so sad.

She didn’t get there overnight either.

Yeah, I can't imagine that. I quit smoking one time and went from about 160 up to about 190. Those 30 extra pounds make me feel like I was wearing full sandbags for clothes as I went up and down stairs. I can't image being 100+ pounds heavier than normal.

Try carrying around a 30 pound watermelon all day, or several of them. Yikes.

Alley’s a Scientologist - can’t she just summon some overlords and have them zap the fat away?

So sorry to hear that. Prayers for you and your family. Maybe somebody out there will see your sister’s story and get “scared straight”.

Oh dear ... I just clicked through to the article and saw the photograph of Kirstie. The hog thing is perfectly applicable. Wow.

I can’t even come near what you must feel. God calls us home on his schedule and HIS schedule only...regardless of what or why mortals know it or think of it. Sadly, it leaves us missing those called home. I feel for you, FRiend! Your loss of a sister must be immense.

Those shows on the Morbid Obesity Channel are certainly illuminating. It’s just like being a crackhead or an alky.

In your late sister’s case, was she the only member of her immediate family so afflicted? Or was she just an order of magnitude worse off than her parents/siblings?

Enjoy life? Are you serious? This woman’s dream of Heaven is an express escalator through an endless mountain of marshmallow clouds.

When she appeared on The Match Game in the 70’s she was gorgeous.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.

I once had a MAJOR crush on Kirstie Alley. She was a babe and I believe still can be.
