Back To Being Fat
Filed under: Z List
Carnie Wilson's always been a big girl. At her heaviest, she weighted about 300 lbs. And she's only 5'3"!
In 1999, after a successful gastric bypass surgery, Carnie slimed down to 146 lbs. After getting pregnant in 2005, she gained back 70 lbs and couldn't lose it. She even appeared on Celebrity Fit Club to help her lose the weight.
Carnie's soon to be 40 years old and is currently weighing in at 208lbs and wears a size 16.
In a new interview with OK! magazine, our fattie sister talks about her life-long weight struggles.
Here are some of the HIGHlights:
How are you feeling?
I’ve hit rock bottom with my weight. 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.
Why have you gained weight?
Ever since I had my daughter, my focus is not on me; it’s on her. For the past two-and-a-half years, I haven’t slept. I am convinced there has to be a link between sleep deprivation and a slower metabolism.
Any regrets about having the gastric bypass?
No, it was the best thing I ever did. If I didn’t have the surgery, I’d probably be dead.
What was life like after the surgery?
In 2003, I was drinking heavily. Maybe I couldn’t handle feeling that great. I remember driving down Coldwater Canyon [in California] and thinking I could just turn this wheel and drive right off a cliff. In 2004, I reached a bad low and stopped drinking cold turkey. Thirteen days before I got pregnant, I got sober.
Your dad, Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson, was able to slim down.
He walks five miles a day and is a great inspiration. Around Christmas, he said, “Carnie, I see you’re a little heavier. Are you okay?” I said, “Dad, it’s really hard.” And he goes, “I know, but you can do it.” He’s very positive.
You can catch Carnie on TV in a new, what else, "reality" TV show on VH1 titled, Celebracadabra.

WOW… SHE DOESN'T LOOK GOOD AT ALL
Still has such a beautiful face! =)
fat ass
I am a "fattie" sister as well, and I wish nothing but the best for her. You have to love yourself for who you are first in order to be able to change. It is hard being overweight, easy to say "just lose it"… I weigh more than her, and I hate my body, and how I feel about myself.
Third- and gad damn she is fat. Lazy ass fatty.
She may have gained weight, but that pic is so photoshopped. I doubt she's as big as that picture makes her seem.
this looks SO photoshopped!
wow!
I am fat too, it sucks sometimes. I kinda like it though. She should embrace it. Keeping an eye on health issues of course…
Its not a slow metabolism is not eating so dang much and exercising everyday. Jesus Christ rich fat asses have no excuse, and reg Fat asses need to get up and move around everyday if they want to lose weight.- How can eating trash weekly make you look like anything but a fat ass. Its not rocket science.
that must really suck for her.
Pobrecita. But damn, how can you gain so much weight in such a short amount of time. I sympathyze with obese people. I was once weighing in at 208 and managed to get down to my normal weight of 120, I'm 5'4". It's not easy, folks. It saddens me to see how insensitive people are to others who clearly struggle with their weight.
shes still looks SO BEAUTIFUL! losing weight is a struggle, congrats to her for publicly admitting she needs the support. it takes courage!
yeah it is really hard losing weight, especially when you have alot of extra weight. that extra weight just doesn't disappear. nevermind factoring kinds into the equation. yeah other models and actresses can do it, but they have loads of nannies, trainers, etc. to help with the kids, cook for them, etc. i'm pretty sure she's doing this the old fashioned way.
i give her kudos for coming out about it. she's trying to do it the healthy way and for that, she's an inspiration.
BE FAT AND HAPPY, QUIT COMPLAINING!
The same thing happened to Randy Jackson, he got thin for a minute and then went back to being fat. The only thing that seems to stay thiner is the face.
Hey all,
I can personally relate to the struggle, but: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO NOT ADDRESS THE REAL REASON FOR YOUR WEIGHT PROBLEM.
Listen, folks… Making your stomach smaller is NOT the answer, UNLESS you're willing to face what made you heavy in the first place.
Carnie did the surgery, yes, but in my humble opinion, did NOT address psychologically the issues behind her weight gain in the first place. She began drinking right after, which - contrary to what she says - does NOT mean she wasn't used to "feeling great." It simply indicates that she switched to a "different drug" (alcohol) in order to deal with the SAME problem.
And look, I come at this topic from an experienced place. I recently lost 70lbs, and lemme tell you how:
1) I ate less carbs, less sugar, more vegetables and lots of protein.
2) I exercised. I walked as much as I could, and did weight training.
AND, 3) MOST IMPORTANTLY, I went into therapy. I asked myself some hard honest questions about what was missing in my life, forcing me to use food as a replacement.
Carnie, hon, I'm rooting for ya, but I think you gotta go DEEP this time if you want success.
Reading the title 0f this post - I figured it was about you (Perez - fat ass). But I should have known better, you've never left "FAT" so how could you be back?
Stop eating so much if you don't want to be fat. DUH!
this is so clearly photoshopped.
I love how they glossed up her fat face !!! lol
******
Weight gain is related to sleep deprivation, they just had a 60 Minutes segment on it.
How can she say the gastric was the best thing for her? It obviously did nothing because even though she was slimmer, she was still sick in the head - contemplating suicide and drinking? Just another testimony to us fat people that you have to address your issues not your stomach. Your issues aren't hidden under fat either. They're right there staring you in the face no matter how fat or thin you are.
She is a beautiful girl no matter what size she is….look at her!!
Thats a huge bitch!
She's way over 200 … estimate 280.
she says that she has gained weight because she is only concerning herself with her child, but being a great parent means not only being a good example, but providing a healthy lifestyle for your children. if she is focused on the health of her baby, her health would benefit as well. you can not blame weight gain on lack of sleep, you are heavy because you eat poorly and you don't exercise. you don't have to walk 5 miles a day, just eat your raw fruits and veggies and get moderate exercise and be happy and you'd be surprised at how slim you can become. i don't run and i eat cookies sometimes and ice cream and pizza, but every single day i have my leafy greens, fruit and whole grains. I go on relaxing, peaceful hikes every now and then and do pushups and dance to music in my living room and i have great abs, i'm not skinny but i'm thin and i have nice lady curves. it is all about moderation and enjoying the bare necessities of life.
It always amazes me when guys get on here and scream about "fat, lazy women. I am fat. I am not proud of the fact. I am not lazy. I homeschool, run car pool, take my children to activities, clean the house, do all the yard work, pay the bills, go to college and numerous other things. I am fat because I do not take care of myself. I take care of everyone and everything else. Some people do have a slower metabolism. I eat what my family eats. All three of them are slim. While they are out playing, I am here cleaning. I could just as easily say, "Those skinny, self absorbed ho's who dump their kids with everyone else (people like me) so they can get facials, go to the gym and get their nails done. They spend their kids' college money on botox and breast implants and don't even know where their kids are half the time." There has to be a happy medium between self obsession and self oblivion. If anyone has an idea, let me know. Wow, Brian wilson walks five miles a day. Who has the frickin time. What does that take, at least an hour or hour and a half. I don't have an hour and a half. I have twenty to thirty minutes tops.
Re: ANDY27 – ok, YOU really need to stfu.
I feel very bad for her. So many people who have gastric bypass surgery end up with another addiction. Her's became alcohol. I'm glad to see she's sober and I hope she can get to a weight she is comfortable with. Kids do zap the energy out of you. It's a lot of work raising kids. Kudos to her for not letting a nanny do all of the dirty work.
I'm a full time working single mom and as bad as I feel for her, I think it's disgusting that she would even hint that the blame falls on "focusing on her daughter and not herself". I work full time and have my daughter full time and I STILL find time to go to the gym at least 4-5 times a week…She needs to take some responsibility and stop whining!
She's off base, sleep deprivation actually causes the body to OVER-work. Sleep deprivation sheds weight, not aid in gaining it. If someone 'yo-yo's sleep like how some yo yo diet, then yes, it can cause MILD weight gain (say an extra 20-30 lbs) but to be this big, it's either in the genes or she is merely avoiding admitting it is her fault.
That is so obviously photoshopped.
Ok, no way is someone 5'3 who weighs 208 pounds a size 16
This is all bullshit!
Read the book: "Intuitive Eating"
Do you know how much the diet industry benefits from the way that you think?
SHEEP!
I think she looks hot. Don't lose the weight baby cakes! Call me!
Re: Beth – That's because when they get thin they get plastic surgery to remove the extra skin around their face, and fat can't grow back once you get it removed from an area.
She's really pretty!
There IS a link between sleep deprivation and obesity. Seriously.
I wish her the best of luck. On the flipside, kudos to the graphic artist who brushed her up to look like a hottie 20 year old.
Perez, you of all people do not need to be calling anyone else fat. It is the pot calling the kettle black you fat overweight obese fuck. Quit being a hypocrite fucking fat ass perez.
Honestly- her weight issues do not interest me at all.
Nobodies weight issues interest me- why the obsession? And if there needs to be this constant attention on the issue, why not focus on Health, and how we can help the world to be healthier.
Who in the fuck in CW's press agent? Over the last few years we have been kept up to date on every event in her boring life. Its weight gain. Its weight loss. Its pregnancy. Its postpartum depression. Its weight gain again. Who really cares? Furthermore, if Entertainment Tonight or Extra has nothing to discuss on a particular day they dig up an old story or somehow tie her into one now. Carnie if you read this, please don't think that "any press is good press" and at least they are "writing about me". I'm sure you are a nice person somewhere deep down inside but, enough!
BTW if know Marie Osmond, please pass this message to her too.
Randy Jackson never got fat again- are you stupid?!?! He is SEXY!
is it just me, or does this photo looked photoshopped?
When u have a weight problem it sucks. I exercise daily and eat right drink tons of water and still…. Ever since I hit 40 ….. After 40 all things in life seem extra tuff to do.
Sorry mo fo's but that is NOT a size 16. Try again…maybe a 22, at least.
i wanna SEX randy jackson
That's too bad. Her face is so pretty too shes in need of a nice body to match! She can do it too.
US size 16 is a UK size 20.
UK sizes are 4 sizes bigger in relation, so US size 10 is a UK size 14 etc etc.
That's where the whole size zero thing sounds so weird in UK - it's a size 4.
I love Carnie, whatever size. She's one of my favorite celebs. Her and Cher.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
y would u loze weight
and then gain it back…
wazte of time????????
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzjohn murtha endorzed hillary 2/day
in pennsylvania…yea…u know damn well she'll win it…
The best way for a celebrity to lose weight is to get a commercial weight loss company to hire you for a celebrity spokesperson. For every pound you lose you get paid $$. The money incentive seems to work for most.
~
Dancing with the stars also helps celebrities get in shape and lose weight.
Look at what happened to Marie Osmond.
I would LOVE to see Carney on Dancing with the Stars!
I bet she blows some really nasty farts that pack a wallop!
Actually, people, sleep deprivation DOES cause weight gain. Read up on sleep apnea.
wanna laugh?
get your daily dose of randomosity…

No way can you weigh 208 pounds and wear a size 16. A size 26 - maybe. All the weeklies do this - they show gee-normous people wearing unbelievably small sizes. Where do these people shop anyway?
unfortunately - we live in an appearance driven world. Looking good get you better jobs and relationships. First impressions are the only impression. I know I'm one of then - I struggled hard to lose weight and honestly, my life has been so much better. I gained confidence and my self-esteem is at a whole new high.
No way is she a size 16. I'm 5'2", 180lb. and a size 16. And although, I am a little heavier then I would like…I do not look like her. No way is she a 16. HA!
So she put on weight , she is still beautiful . I hate these stick thin miserable looking women anyway .
HOORAY FOR CARNIE!! SHE'S SO REFRESHINGLY HONEST. BLESS YOU, CARNIE. YOU GOT STUCK WITH SHITTY WEIGHT GENES THAT WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU A STRUGGLE THAT OTHERS MAY NOT HAVE. I APPLAUD YOU FIGHTING TO KEEP HEALTHY AND NOT B.S.'ING EVERYONE ABOUT THE WEIGHT (HEAR THAT JANET JACKSON……..MOVIE ROLE MY ASS LIAR). I WISH YOU LUCK IN YOUR WEIGHT JOURNEY, CARNIE. YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
who the fuck is this fat bitch? who cares? 5/3 300lbs… holy shit that is gross. I could fit in her left thigh.
she SLIMED down?????poor girl. this doesn't sound too healthy. poor PHOTOSHOPPED girl.
that's cool she has family support. carnie wilson is an inspiration!
First of all she is lying by saying she is a size 16! She looks about a size 22!
Get thee to a fat farm. Order meals in. Hire a personal trainer. Even though she can afford all these things where I cannot, no doubt trying to stay a low weight is hard even for someone like her and I sympathize. You have to be so strict what goes in your mouth and it's not easy…a carrot stick doesn't cut it when you want some carbs.
Re: Newsflash, folks! –
You hit it right on the head. Until Carnie realizes it's NOT about the food, but the underlying reason that drives her emotional eating, she will always have a weight struggle. I think she probably has low self esteem and self love. We all have our struggles though, so shame on you people calling her fat and lazy. Unless you've ever been fat, you have no fucking clue. Her being overweight is a symptom of a much bigger problem. My heart goes out to Carnie, and I hope she gets healthy both physically and emotionally.
Read this carefully.
OVEREATERS ANONYMOUS>
It will save your life.
Kudos to Carnie for talking about it. Unlike Scientology weirdo Kirstie Alley, Carnie is not in denial that she has a problem, nor is she trying to claim she is 10 sizes smaller than she is.
Carnie has a sweet personality and is a decent person too.
Overweight is the one issue that shows immediately unlike drug or alcohol abuse. Some people appear not to have an appetite shut off like slim people and they constantly crave food. This struggle is horrible and she is in my prayers! Oh, and I love he dad too!. Go Brian!
Size sixteen my ass!!!!!!! Get real!
Re: Confessions of a Paparazzi –
I know first hand. I couldn't sleep and constantly craved carbs at night. I didn't eat much in the daytime, but at night I more than made up for it. I take Melatonin (among other suplements) semi regularly and am sleeping much better. I only gained 7 pounds, but felt so out of control.
Again I wish her all the best!
Seriously, no way is she a size 16… im 5'9” and weigh 195 and im a size 16… she has to be about 20/22 like Hillary said
Re: cmoursler –
Touche to that..it's a lot easier when you are wealthy which means Carnie has absolutely zero excuses, she IS a lazy cow..
she is at least 230, probably more and she would be a great role model to others who battle with their weight if she was honest
The weird thing is science is almost to that place where scholars can say emphatically that some people are meant to be obese, it's genetic, inherent for some… And, you can struggle against it…but at the end of the day, genetics and the fact that fat cells NEVER go away pretty much means that you'll end up fat again.
Re: KikiV –
that is true, it is a factor in many illnesses
Re: Hayworth Honey – I'm 220, 5' 8" and wear a size 16
I feel bad for her but what an UGLY girl. Her face and voice are so gross. I cannot stand to look at her face. I watched her and her hubby sing HORRIBLY live a "lullabye" for her child on TV. You wanted to like the song and believed she MUST be able to sing. Wow she and her hubby were horrible. Just awful. She sad there singing off tune, smiling, and tapping her leg. I was shocked. She cannot sing. Awful. Get out of the media we don't want to look at her! There are some "celebs" that are just plain AWFUL- no talent- no decency- no beauty. It's painful to look at her. I hate her face! gross!
Carnie said: "I am convinced there has to be a link between sleep deprivation and a slower metabolism."
DER! No, really! Is she kidding? OF EFFING COURSE LESS SLEEP LEADS TO LOWER METABOLISM. Jeez, was she paying attention when she was on the fit club show?
I agree with the other posters here who say she is not a 16. I mean jeez, if she's gonna come out publicly talking aobut it all, the least she could do is be honest about her actual size. How is THAT helping anyone? DENIAL MUCH?
That is a SHITEOUS Photoshop job. Please!!!
this is super fucking dick. has anyone realised yet that only ONE PERCENT of the people in the US are skinny and 'perfect'? this is BULLSHIT. especially coming from perez, a fat motherfucker who probably couldn't lose any weight if he had a personal trainer, exercise equipment all around him and that surgery she got! who the fucking hell cares if she's fat.. whateverr, jesus christ. who are you perez to say she's fat and has a fattie sister? you are FUCKED,as you obviously haven't been looking at yourself close enough.
go get fucking ass raped you fugly peice of shit.
She should get diet guru Gillian McKeith from the UK to help her. She'd be able to eat healthy and lose weight. Maybe they could make a show out of it for TV and market it in the US and the UK and make a few bucks.
Did anyone see CW on The Nanny a while back? She looked really good and that's even after the camera adds weight. I think she is a very sensitive person who battles with emotional issues that manifest in weight gain. I've been there and after four therapists, I finally found one I could be open and honest with. With a sensible eating plan from my doctor's nurse dietician and no longer having to soothe myself with food, I lost 85 pounds in two years. I started walking which led to jogging and now I run. Not bad for a 43 year old! You can do it CW!
It's not like you aren't fat too, Perez.
Furthermore, I think she should just be happy with herself…she's such a pretty woman… Beth Ditto loves herself and that artist…what's her name…she painted with her breasts… The point is, there is NOTHING wrong with being a healthy larger person… Many pray to be pretty and she's definitely got that down…
idk why she's fronting, she DOES NOT wear a size 16. Her ass is in the 20's
Prob a 22 or 24
I'm a big girl, and wear a size 16, size 16's don't look like that.
lol omg, i remember when perez was thin..
what happend bb? Little Debbie came into your life?
=[
STFU CARNIE. No one cares about your fat issues or your disturbing desire to exploit them for cash.
Re: Lily – you're also 5 inches taller than she is so i'm sure you're no wear near as wide as she is
I understand being fat….I was a fat alcoholic. What I can't understand is mothers blaming their being overweight with the all too easy "baby weight" excuse. Honey, your "baby" ain't no baby anymore!! AND….why can't you sleep??? Your kid is 2 1/2 YEARS old…..NOT MONTHS !!! Even people with a "slow metabolism" lose weight…that's just another excuse. Just wearing a 1/2 lb ankle weight helps burn 20% more calories. It's basically a matter of eating less calories than your body uses. I'll bet she drives around a parking lot until she finds a parking space right in front. You don't have to be a fanatic about it….all it takes is the small "extra's" that are sooo simple to incorporate into your life. LIKE……Try leaving the cordless phone IN it's holder and actually GET UP from your chair to go answer it !!! Sounds sooooo hard to me……
She's still an inspiration to me!! Love ya Carnie!! You can do it!!!
1 word: PHOTOSHOP!!!! and so badly done!!
So sad, her name is too close to the spanish word "carne" which means meat poor thing it seems her fate was sealed the day she was born.
I see no mention of that Photoshop job Perezio… WTH? She's your kindred fatster so no digs?
uhh, that looks SEVERELY photoshopped to me. just saying.
