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.
Her skin looks really good here.
What do you think he vaginal area smells like? Describe.
Size 16 my ass…she's more like a 22 or 24.
In her dreams…….
I am the same height, weigh 154 and wear a size 16 in some clothes. She is a bald faced LIAR if she says she wears a 16- maybe a 20 but no WAY can she squeeze into what Macy's would call a size 16. NO WAY. She should be honest.
Re: Jessica – "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."
Maybe she should change her name to Legumbre or Veggie.
I have finally come to the sad realization that I will never be skinny. i have to bust my ass in the gym 9 hours a week just to maintain a size 9 and if i skip a week forget about it, I will gain five pounds easily. I am not one of those food nazis who count every calorie, fat gram and carb, but I do eat sensibly. And yet I battle with my weight constantly. It sucks, so Carnie I wish you all the best. And to all of the women taking such pride in being overweight because they are so dedicated to their children and have no time, why don't you realize that your babies will only be your babies for 18 years. Who is going to take care of YOU when they are grown and living their own lives? Or will you simply guilt trip them into having to take care of your fat ass due to diabetes, heart disease, knee problems etc? you can't take care of anyone until you take care of yourself and women who work to stay healthy are not the selfish ones, you are!
I'm 5'3 too, and weigh 192. If I weighed as much as Carney, I wouldn't be in a size 16 unless it was in slacks. I'd be in a size 24 or so if I wore a dress. She said herself on Oprah, that you have to deal with the "why" you are overeating and not blame it on metabolism.
photos shop much?
she looks like a plastic mold.
I'm so sick of this FAT PIG. She's a reality show whore. All she does is appear on every show displaying her fatness and complaining that she can't lose weight. Well, instead of going on every show, try HITTING THE FUCKING GYM INSTEAD! She's pimping her fatness for fame!!!!!
I dont' know where she is shopping but that is not a size 16. She is more like a 22. Why do all the celebs say they are a size they are not? who gives a shit?
I think she looks better fat. Her face is droopy when she is skinny.
NO way is she a size 16! I am three inches taller and weigh 53 pounds less and wear a size 14. Your going to fess up about a weight problem, at least be honest about your dress size! Unless in Hollywood, dress sizes are minimized so you can weigh over 200 pounds and not be considered PLUS SIZED!
I think it's really sad that instead of just being honest about what we all know anyway she (in a nut shell) blames her daughter for her own over eating choices. Face the music, put down the damned fork and move your ass. Not everyone is meant to be a size 6, however, be the heathiest you can be for yourself AND your child.
And Perez, while we're on the subject…FAT KILLS MORE PEOPLE IN THE USA EVERY YEAR THAN SMOKING AND DRUNK DRIVERS COMBINED.
Obesity is a disease by choice (not unlike smoking or drug abuse) that kills millions every year. Yes, people come in many (beautiful) sizes but to make the choice every day to fill your body with harmful amounts of calories and fat just shouldn't be socially tolerated any longer. This self inflicted disease is far worse than drug abuse and smoking! There are children starving while people choose to stuff themselves to death. This is the first time in history that our children's life expectancy is shorter than their parents. All due to obesity related disease.
actually there is a link between sleep deprivation and weight gain, and it's more prevalent in women
so that sucks for her.
get ur sleep!
Some people who commented obviously dont know how hard it is to lose weight. Whoever is saying just stop eating so much obviosley hasn't struggled with their weight (like me) but I have seen my sister do it and it takes time people!! Yeah she shouldnt have drank right after her surgery but we all make mistakes and yes when you have a baby you will usually gain a few pounds.. Give her some support, she is dealing with her weight gain again!
Perez, Why aren't you showing what a fat cow Oprah has become?
no double chin?????I double doubt it
Bullshit, she wears a size 16!!! I am 5'10" weigh 190 and wear a 14 there's no way this much weight, smooshed onto a 5'3" body only wears a 16!!!! Unless it's size 16 s-t-r-e-t-c-h pants
no waaaay is she a 16…a UK 16 would be a US 12…..and er…she's not british. sick.
I wish these lying bitches would tell the truth…..if she is 5'3 and weighs 208lbs she AIN'T not size 16. Try a 22. uuummmmm yes I am 4'9 and weigh 200lbs but I'm a size 10….give me a break….if your a fat ass at least admit to it.
Re: cmoursler – You do too much. You have to put your foot down and say to your family–"i;m going for a walk for an hour", and then do it every day. If your family can't have enough respect for you to do this, then you have spoiled them too much. You need time to yourself. I walk every day and I feel wonderful when I do. It makes the stress of the day melt away, and I always seem to think up solutions to problems. Don't get down on other women either–it makes you look jealous. Best of luck
I'm trying to understand how she's a size 16 and 208lbs.
I'm under 200 and wear a size 19.
Talk about unfair body types *sigh*
This picture makes her look fatter than what she really is though. Don't think it's really real.
Once a fatty always a fatty! oink oink. It's called SELF CONTROL pigs.
Once a fatty always a fatty! oink oink. It's called SELF CONTROL pigs. No sympathy for someone with everything at her inflated feet
Cushing's Disease, or growth hormone deficiency, is a likely reason for Carnie to remain overweight after gastric bypass. She should get tested. I hope someone tells her about this possibility. It is a horrible disease and isn't acknowledged by the media (as it should be).
Perez, you should look into it too.
The pituitary society just published that 1 in every 5 people has pituitary disease. Common symptoms are depression and weight gain. I wish I were making up this info.
Dad was right-she can do it, like she's done it over and over and over…
On the bright side her makeup looks good.
um….NO.
this woman has all the BEST trainers, nutritionist, and motivational experts $$$$$
can buy….yet, she's STILL obese.
HELL 2 THE NO!
it seems, that is you have all the $$$$$ to get yourself in shape, yet you choose to
remain obese, then perhaps she needs to stay obese.
i am will aware she had surgery to slim down, and then she got heavy again after
she gave birth to her child….but DAMN.
enough….find a kick-ass personal trainer, and a kick ass nutritionist….and….
STAY FIT!
ENOUGH WITH HER…CARNE' ASAYDA!
wow, she looks like a skinny version of you without your ugly ass hair!
she is not a 16. she's not happy no matter what. thin she drank, fat she eats. she's screwed up in her head and btw, i sleep too much and am fat. i got even fatter after i turned 40.
………CARNIE IS A JEWEL AND A REAL SPORT…. ALTHOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE THEM, IN ORDER FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO GET IN SOME GREAT TRACK EXERCISE, SHE LET THEM JOG AROUND HER!!!!! DOOOOOOOOOH!
………LAST TIME SHE JUMPED FOR JOY, SHE GOT STUCK!!! OMFG!!
Re: CARNIE SO FAT SHE SWEATS GRAVY!! – Are you 12?
At least Carnie Wilson isn't a fatass calling other people fatasses like you are Perez!
she needs to go and read her own book, "gut feelings", she wrote when she was thin. her sister has 4 children and is thin so it's not genetics. her dad is a fat alcoholic/pot head so he eats a lot.
208lbs? MY ASS.
My best girl friend weighs 218lbs and she's much much much thinner than this girl. She's 5'4", too!
I guess she was blessed because she wears a size 10.
DON'T LIE ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT DUMBASSES IF IT'S OBVIOUS.
she needs to read her book "i'm still hungry".
Get EDUCATED, you dumb $#*&s. Research on weight before you judge.
This story about Carnie is the kind that promotes LOW self-esteem and self-worth in women because they are "overweight". If she needs to lose weight to be Healthier (mentally and physically), then great for her to lose.
However many, MANY, studies show that in a lot of instances, "FAT" people are MORE healthy and live longer than skinny people who are underweight, for example underweight people will more likely get ostesperosis, "fat" people heal more quickly from certain diseases or illnesses because they have the body mass to sustain themselves.
Our bodies store FAT because it needs to and its natural. That is why people gain it back rapidly when they lose it rapidly, like Carnie did.
Your judgements on other people's bodies should be kept to yourself, because they are swayed by our cultures and they change in history. Back in the 1890's the most famous, beautiful actress was 200lbs and 5'4.. about the same size as Carnie.
And on her comment "I don't want to struggle to get my pants on anymore".. she should buy bigger pants.
I can't stand skinny bitches, most of them are fucking evil inside anyway, give me a woman with meat on her bones anyday…
Re: Vivian – Obesity does NOT kill, certain factors, such as Diabetes, that are also associated with obese people kill.
And it is NOT worse than smoking– Lung cancer is presently the NUMBER 1 killer of women, next is Breast Cancer, next is Colorectal Cancer. Do you see obesity anywhere there? Look it up.
CLEARLY, this is picture is photo shopped. Look at her face and neck…fake,fake, fake
does this look photoshopped to anyone or is it just me??
her face is like flawless and it just looks fake…
I know of no one who chooses to be fat. It's a horrible cycle - losing and gaining. I hope Carnie gets healthy no matter what size she is. She is a precious person who should be around a long, long time for her little girl. Love ya Carnie!!
"Can't lose the weight"? WTF? The reason gastric bypasses work is because they drastically reduce caloric intake. Period. But people can eat around them. Stomach is smaller but people can get it to stretch or they can eat high calorie foods. People act like losing weight is complicated. It's not. Burn more calories than you consume and the weight comes off.
Re: Sara – …….YES I AM! AND ISN'T IT JUST AMAZING THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE YOUR I.Q. AMAZING COINCIDENCE.
…….I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT YOUR PISSY LITTLE SELF-SERVING RETORT WAS JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE PIQUED AT SOMEONE MAKING FUN OF A BIG OLD FAT GIRL BECAUSE YOU IDENTIFY SO CLOSELY WITH HER…..ALTHOUGH YOU ARE PROBABLY A BIG OLD FAT GIRL WHO IS ALSO AN UGLY CUNT.
……..THIS ISN'T A MENSA MEETING, BITCH, AND YOU ARE NO INTELLECTUAL. GO BACK TO YOUR TRAILER, EAT YOUR CHEETOS, AND BRUSH YOUR TOOTH…. POOR, POOR BLATERING TRASH.
Carnie doesn't have a career if she's not fat!!
ya if you drink alcohol you will regain some wieght.
same thing as milkshakes
and if you snack on sweets instead of protien …u do get fat.
with Gastric Bypass, one needs to eat low calorie and gain muscle.
it is not a CURE, but an aid to save ones life.
She might be an alcoholic, which usually they refuse to perform this op on patients who are. Read the literature.
Her tummy is still small but the fluids would be the calories and flow thru her belly leaving the boozy fat saturating her body.
size 16, at 300 pounds….sorry this is wrong. How much do you wieght Perez? And your size???? mmmmm She was more like a size 44-50 at 300pounds. At 200 pounds she would be a size 44 about.
Size 16….dream on.
Re: Sara – Who the fuck made you the critic of this board? Nothing brings a board down, even one as asinine as this one, more than some silly twat who takes it on herself to critique other posters. At least the 12 year old was humorous. I'll be you were the nasty little rat in elementary school who was always running around saying, "I'm gonna tell on you." because no one liked to be anywhere near your tattler ass.
Her face looks fake, like computer edited.. Is it a real pic?
Re: Sara – you are criticizing juvenile humor on THIS board? what a fucking idiot. ur prob a whale too.
Re: Cat – agreed! And you are probably a true size sixteen, meaning you can get away with calling yourself a 12-14!!
Re: fuck off and fuck u – Love it . 'I'm going to tell on you' fucking hysterical. brings back memories. too funny
Re: YOU MUST HAVE GOTTEN UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF YOUR CAGE TODAY! TSK TSK! – I love u. U British? American? Marry me?
Re: YOU MUST HAVE GOTTEN UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF YOUR CAGE TODAY! TSK TSK! – Mean and Funny. I luv U.
I agree she way over 208, it's so sad that she is going back to her huge waddling unhealthly lifestyle.
Re: Sara – Was there an age limit posted somewhere? Stupid self serving schoolmarmish comment. Go away.
Re: CARNIE SO FAT SHE SWEATS GRAVY!! – Overdone but funny And a little mean. lol
I give her all the credit in the world - easier to talk shit on people who have weight problems. I wish her all the best - she is open, honest and upfront about it. I give her all the credit in the world for atleast doing something about it…GO CARNIE!
Re: Hillary – I totally agree. I'm so tired of celebrities who are larger than a size 2 always downplaying their size. Hello, don't you think all us women compare. I'm 5'3" and when i was a size 16, I was a good 30 lbs. less than her.
people who have never had gastric bypass should SHUT THE FUCK UP!! people who are addicted to food and get gastic bypass then bcum addicted to other things! the easiest 'feel-good' thing is alcohol. and alcohol gets gastric bypass patients HIGHER FASTER! u always trade 1 addiction for the other! the bad thing about alcoholism is that an alcoholic's liver gets FAT!!! that isn't affected by the bypass effect at all! it gets bloated and fat and alcohol is empty calories! plus if u sit ur fat ass around the house and don't exercise at all, GB won't help u! after i had the GBRNY surgery i vowed NEVER to get pregnant and ruin what i had done to my body so i had a hysterectomy! it does work if u work at it and get the therapy that u need! stop hating assholes! u bulemic bitches need to get a grip and get the therapy that u need!
for you to even have stories like these is laughable.
yet sad.
you're fuckin gross.
some people were made to be FAT, just let nature take its course and live life dammit.
You can use all the excuses you want but it all comes down to what we put in our mouthes an lack of exercise. Been there, done that and I'm still fat.
NO WAY! No way is she 5'3" tall, weighs 208 pounds and wears a size 16. Either the picture is a lie or the weight and size are lies.
I am 5'3" tall, weigh 184 lbs and wear a size 14, and I am much smaller size-wise than her. I have definable hips, a waist and my body does not look like an over-inflated balloon.
If Carnie is 5'3" tall, looking at that picture I estimate her weight at closer to 225-230 lbs and she is in a size 18.
Re: Tabitha – OMG i believe no matter how much you weigh ur beutiful for just being you.
Photoshop face ughhhh
This photo is soo weird… seems to photoshoped don't you guys think?!
Oh My God, Perez your the one that's so fat. I saw you on that Popaganda: Skinny 911, God you said "Getting skinny is great for your career," your the one who's fat. Just think your so fat your to big for the sidewalk if you will lose 60 lb you would be normal. So Perez get your own name and dont copy Paris' and lose some weight and as you said "Losing weight is great for your career," and youd be richer. You know I'm right.
Just goes to show you money won't buy everything if you don't spend it properly. If she isn't on asome medicvation causing it, for pete sakes, buy a hardcore mean dietician/trainer or something. I guess she's the addict personality with the beer comment. Too bad so sad, and I can't place her on anything, even looked her up on imdb and nope- a big fat blank…
Since she's still got some attention, her personality must be the absolute tops.
at 5'0 i had my son at 33 yrs old. it was a real bitch 2 lose baby fat. thats becuz i wks out. in my 30's my metabloism just sloewd dwn. i beleive in carnie! w/my hard wk. im at 115 n 17% body fat in now 35 yrs old. its mind over matter!
I am 5'5", weigh 180 and am a size 16…there is no way in hell she is 5'3", weighs 200+ and is a size 16. Nope. NO WAY!
I feel for her, though. It sucks to lose weight successfully then gain it back. Been there, done that.
ISN'T IT JUST AMAZING HOW SLIMMING BLACK IS? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
Re: YOU MUST HAVE GOTTEN UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF YOUR CAGE TODAY! TSK TSK! – Sheeeeet. u so baaaaaaaaaaaad brush your tooth
Jesus, that is one big side of beef. That beast could hurt a guy.
she looks way haviers than 208 she ismore like 260-280 or something
Go on a RAW food diet.. Come on already!
Re: Hillary – I agree…there is NO WAY she is a size 16!! I am 175 lbs and a 16…if she is that heavy, she's more like a 24 or 26. Why the hell lie about it if you enough balls to talk openly about it?! You don;t think anyone will call your bluff?! I DO!!!
Hello, people dont GET fat.
Fat people are fat becuase they are lazy and eat the wrong food.
Its not complicated.
If you dont excercise and eat fatting foods, ALERT THE PRESS, you GET FAT.
If she is a size 16 I am a size 6. I am the same height as her and I look way smaller and I am a size 16. When will women stop lying. It only makes other women feel bad about themselves.
Okay, I love Carnie, and I can relate to the weight issue, but COME ON SHE IS NO SIZE 16!!! Just like Kirstie Alley lying that she was something like 220 lbs when she's nearly 6' tall and enormous. B.S.!!!! I have been everything from a size 5 to a size 24, and I KNOW sizes and weight and Carnie is no size 16! I don't get why people feel the need to lie about this stuff. That aside, Carnie is beautiful and I do feel for her struggles.
It looks so fake to me :/ like some kind of prank
I dont understand how she can gain so much weight after having that surgery.
This mouthy porker has made a career talking about her fucking fluctuating weight! G-damn! I don't and I've never cared…Can she just balloon up and shut the hell up? God, no more attention on this cow.
oh, so if she is back to being fat… where are you? really, come on — think of the way others take the things you have to say.
what?? she actually looks pretty to me! the only way to reach your right weight is to treat yourself good and love yourself first! you have to be healthy in the head before you can get truly healthy.
also, gastric bypass surgery is a total mistake. in addition to being medically risky it's totally disgusting to deal with afterwards. i dated a guy who had it and let's just say he had some interesting gastrointestinal symptoms… permanently. there is no way that mutilating your body just to get to some smaller number on a scale is better than eating right and exercising daily. also, your skin gets really saggy and gross where you used to have fat.
i wish that carnie would see how pretty she is even the way she is and take the right steps to getting healthy. and if her pants don't fit then why the hell doesn't she just get some new ones that she DOESN'T have to struggle to put on!
fucking fake pic!
THEY ALL LIE ABOUT THEIR SIZE - RACHAEL RAY IS NO SIZE SIX - THAT IS WHAT SHE CLAIMED JUST SEVERAL MONTHS AGO
O.K., whatever about the fat thing.
Does her skin look fuckin great or what?!!!
awwe leave the poor girl alone. She deserves support. Its great to hear the girl is getting healthier. People are so mean. Calling her fat doesn't prove anything. Its just mean.
Carnie Carnie Carnie. You traded one addiction (eating) in for another (drinking). ANd now you are back to square one. Your surgery was just a band-aid on a bigger problem and you need to get some help!!! I speak from experience (didn't have surgery though to lose the weight thank goodness).
Re: fuck off and fuck u – I'd bet you were the bully's side kick if you think name calling is funny and clever. You need to grow the fuck up too.
Re: CARNIE SO FAT SHE SWEATS GRAVY!! – You're pathetic…
Re: Lisa – No Lisa, her obesity is due to her addiction to over feeding. No mystery, no magic solution. Just drop the fork and shake your ass things will be much better for everyone involved.
Re: Tara – Really? And when is the last time you saw an obese woman over the age of 60? Rarely, because they are DEAD or bedridden. Excessive fat (obesity) is a killer the same as drug and alcohol abuse. It is a choice. Unfourtunatley, it is everyones business because it affects us all. One of the leading increases to the cost of healthcare? OBESITY REALATED DISEASE. Not everyone is going to be a size 6…beauty comes in many sizes and colors for sure, I'm not saying it doesn't. However, this sort of self indulgence should not be tolerated by our culture any longer.
Re: Tara – Are you fucking serious?!!! Obesity is the largest contributor to the bodys inability to fight disease..it's called heart disease, which is the 3rd most common killer amongst woman and rising.
I love Carnie! I wish her the best of luck to lose that nagging weight. I read her autobiography and it is very inspiring. Yes, you're going to hit roadblocks and have hard times. I wish she was not so hard on herself - having a baby really screws with your body. Maybe once her daughter is older and in school Carnie can start to focus on herself again.
this fat slob is gross and if she cant control her eating than she just should shoot her brains out ! i mean why is she still publicizing how fat she is if i was her and got thin and then got fat again i would hide out and try to disappear so nobody saw my failure for food , fucking food . ewww damn she is basically a whore for food and she should be ashamed . that's living up to the Wilson name lard ass die of a heart attack already you make women allover the world look weak .you give bypass surgery a bad image and you are worse than a drug addict i hate you and hope god stuffs a apple in your mouth and sends you to hell to roast dirty slob pig .
Uhhh what happened?
I'm sorry but I am SOOOO over this fat ass. No one cares that she is a lazy fat fuck. Cry me a riverrrrrrrrrrrrrr
And can I point out the fact that the only people who get all over worked and defensive for her are always the obese fat asses themselves too, whom try to justify being fat? BEING FAT IS A HEALTH RISK. IT IS NOTTTTTTTTT, NOR EVER GOING TO BE OKAY. So stop eating everything in sight. The human body can go a month or more without food. Ppl think they need to stuff their holes every couple hours. It's sad what our country has come to….disgusting.
I'm 5'8, weigh 210, and I'm size 16. She's not the same size!! She's bigger.
I hate the people who criticizes fat people, they don't how much we suffer. I have a disease, I have to take cortisone and that's why I'm fat. A little respect, please.
