OlderCarnie Wilson’s Weight War Continues
Singer and former talk show host Carnie Wilson tries to work off a little weight, jogging early Monday morning near her home in Los Angeles.
The 39-year-old was also seen getting a manicure at Euphoria Hand & Foot Spa in Los Angeles on Saturday.
In 2000, Carnie reached over 300 pounds and received gastric bypass surgery, a procedure that reduced the size of her stomach to that of an egg. The surgery was a success and she ended up losing 150 pounds. However, after giving birth to her daughter, Lola, now 2, Carnie appears to have gained all the weight back again.
“Everyone can see that I’m bigger, but I cannot hibernate,” she tells OK!. “I’ve never lied or been dishonest about what’s going on in my life. Even all these years later, having had such a great weight-loss story, being back in this place is so familiar. And it hurts. I don’t want to feel this way anymore. It doesn’t feel good when you have to struggle to get your pants on.”

SUE
PLEASEEEE
She has been patted on the back, told she has a disease, that it’s not her fault since she was 8 yrs old! Read her book! She said that was part of the problem was everyone was telling her it was inside her, she said she had wished people would have stopped trying to sugar coat everything and told her CARNIE STOP KILLING YOURSELF WITH FOOD!
She went the route of diet therapists, chefs, and every thing else you could imagine. She said she didn’t have anymore demons, that she had conqured them all and learned how to deal with a crisis. She also said, she never felt like she had a mental issue when it came to food, that she just LOVED the way food tasted.
She’s 40 yrs old. It’s really time for the gloves to come off. She needs to now put forth the effort to YES stop eating the foods that are bad for her. A few bites of a cake might be OK for you, BUT SHE CAN”T STOP after a few bites. That’s like giving a person a cigarette and saying “only 2 puffs now”….yeah RIGHT!
YES there are wrong foods. If you eat CARBS with a high glycemic index, it turns to sugar, slows you down because of the insulin it shoots into your system, and causes you to eat more.
She’s had EVERY SINGLE CHANCE of someone else trying to help her lose weight. IT’S NOW UP TO HER. SHE HAS TO DO IT ALL BY HERSELF! 40 yrs of support from others didn’t work, why would you think it would start working now????
Does they even sell running tights in that size?
Oh, never mind, I think it is just a pants becoming tights.
GBS is a very serious surgery and has numerous emotional, and physiological effects on the person that decides to go through with this serious operation. Since food plays such a very large and important role in a morbidly obese persons life and their emotional well-being, it isn’t long before many of those that undergone the surgery suffer from major depression in the months following the surgery and often turn to other addictions, I believe CW turned to alcohol. Many of the morbidly obese simply use food as an emotional crutch, and the new strict limitations placed on their diet by the surgery can place great emotional strain on the patient. Their battle with obesity seems to be a battle that is hard won, if ever, for those like a Carnie Wilson. We just don’t understand the psychological effects of GBS at this time and it is apparent it is not an easy fix for deep seated emotional pain that results in over eating.
Good for her for putting on some running shoes and going out to exercise! It’s way better than seeing the starving little sacks of bones that dominate Hollywood.
something tells me this is going to drive up the stock at mcdonalds. Heres something for you obese people, you know if you don’t have a medical reason as to why your the way you are, and I don’t mean a medical condition you created by eating like a hog, maybe you should stop eating so unhealthy.
Lily,

Most likely since she is working out and still struggling with her weight, means that she has a thyroid problem.
******************
Listen lily. I have hypothroidism, and I am not fat at all. Hypothyroidism is easily controlled with medication. Carnie’s problem is, she eats too damn much.

Maybe she did gain the weight back because she ate poorly, maybe she struggled with losing the baby weight. I also think she exercise consistently after her surgery and even during her pregnancy.
But you’re all assuming that she is unhealthy because she is fat. She could be eating right and exercising and NOT losing any weight. There are plenty of fat people who are much much healthier than thin people. I am technically underweight, my friend is very much overweight, but she is much healthier than I am. Her cholesterol, blood pressure, pulse, diet, exercise regime is all PERFECT and yet she doesn’t lose the weight. Her doctor says that she is one of the healthiest and most health conscience people he has seen in a long time.
I’m not saying that that is the case with Carnie, but you’re all jumping to assumptions. My body doesn’t gain weight regardless of what I eat or not eat, or how much or how little, it isn’t like that with all people. Some people have to struggle with diet and exercise just to maintain their weight.
I hope Carnie reaches a weight that she is happy with, and that if she is leading an unhealthy lifestyle, she makes some changes.
Brandy,
As a successfully recovered bulimic, 26 years out now, I have to say that Sue hit it.
Since when do people not need support and compassion when they are clearly struggling with a sickness just because they relapse?
I know from personal experience that had it not been for the love and support of my now husband of 22 years, my doctor and my family and friends, I probably would have killed myself.
Obesity and eating disorders tend to hit a nerve with people in that they just assume it’s a willpower issue and that the afflicted person should just “buck it up!”.
How sad.
I am so grateful that the loving, non-judgemental people in my life gave me a second and a third and fourth chance to finally help myself!
Society also tends to have little patience for the obese person as they are usually seen as ugly, sloppy and pathetic. They don’t fit into the ideal of the Barbie-doll mentality that the media pushes on all of us.
I hope Carnie Wilson gets the help she needs no matter how many times she falls.
For your sake Brandy, I hope you never need anyone to give you the forgiveness, compassion, support and second and third chances, we all deserve to have.
I’m feel for her because she expressed how much the weight loss meant to her. I don’t believe she is at the same weight as she was before her surgery. Luckily she knows what to do.
It can’t be as easy for her this time seeing that she has more responsibility with ther child.
I wish her the best.
I HAVE A FRIEND THAT WENT TO FAT CAMP WITH HER A LONG TIME AGO… MY FRIEND SUSAN D. HAD THE BYPASS SURGERY AND IT HAS WORKED FOR HER … I HOPE THAT SHE CAN GET THE WEIGHT OFF IN A HEALTHY WAY… :(
PS NO I’M NOT FAT
Yikes. Poor thing.
I just don’t get it. How does one become so big? Do they sit and eat all day? Horrible. I hope she regains her health.
Hang in there Carney. God bless your soul. At least you are trying instead of throwing in the towel and giving up completely. Many people gain and lose weight again and again, until finally one day something CLICKS, and they are finally able to conquer it and stabilize. You’re beautiful and I wish you complete success.
I feel so badly for her. She has such a beautiful face and is so pretty. I pray she can lose the weight again. But the one thing I don’t understand is if her stomach is only the size of an egg — how could she gain this much weight? Forgive my ignorance, but I’m just not that familiar with gastric bypass. My hunch is something emotional is bothering her and that is what’s caused the weight gain. Her daughter is over two years old now - and she wasn’t this big even after her pregnancy. Bless her heart … I feel so badly for her. May God give her His strength and ability to lose this weight again. I’ve seen her on so many interviews and she is a wonderful person.
Having lost a lot of weight myself, I think she’s full of it. So many excuses, so much fat.
Yes, she eats too much. But why? Does she love food more than being thin? Maybe. Or, maybe she feels driven to eat. If you’ve never experienced this *constantly*, you can’t know what it’s like. It’s stupid to tell someone: just stop eating so much! If they could, they would. And yes, some get gastric bypass and keep the weight off, but many do not (many also die from it). IT’S NOT HER FAULT! She’s struggled all her life with this. She’s trying, but it’s hard to fight your body; sometimes it’s also impossible. You aren’t her, even if you’ve had your own struggles. Shut up, already. Let’s see how your weight is in five years. Maybe you’ll be fat again, too (or puking in some toilet to try to say thin…or smoking…or becoming anorexic…)
Carney,just be fat and healthy. Skinny isn’t 4 everyone.

When your body tells you that this is YOUR body type…don’t fight it…highlight it.
I think the remarks on here are awful. Its hard to judge someone when you haven’t walked in their shoes. I watched her interview this morning and she has only gained back 50 pounds. Its not like she is as big as she used to be. She even said herself that she wasn’t falling the rules for when you have the surgery. She fell off the wagon. Food addiction is as real as any other addiction. You are recovering for the rest of your life. People shouldn’t be so quick to judge others by the way they look.
Well, I think those of you who say it’s her behavior obviously don’t really know what you are talking about. You’ve obviously never had the issues she is dealing with so, shut up!!! Unless you’ve been there put your stones back in your pocket for your own glass house.
You should be sending her support and prayers!
