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.
Re: Conrad – No She is funny and you are a sniping humorless fat fucktard who is undoubtedly ugly too. I bet you smell like Carnie's sweaty vagina. Go eat your twinkies and pizza and just fuck off. Smarmy ass. yuuuuuuuk.
Re: Conrad – I guess you have been laughed at all your life too. You identify with Carnie? You're just an overweight fag. Poor baby.
"It doesn’t feel good when you have to struggle to get your pants on." lmfao
I'm laughing at everyone that thinks because she weighs 208 lbs then she must be a size 20 plus. Hate to burst your bubbles, but when I was a teenager, I weighed between 180-200 lbs and was between 16-18. And I'm 5'4" only an inch taller. Surgeries and dieting aren't the be all and end all answers to weight issues. People need to start realizing it's about making changes to lifestyle and eating habits.
Good lord people. "I'm a size 16, I'm a size 20, I'm a size 22, I'm a size 18, I'm a size 10000." Stay out of McDonalds and eat a fucking salad once in a while. Bunch of whining, self-pitying blimps with no self control. Half the world goes to bed hungry every night and it wouldn't hurt your fat asses to try it once in a while.
This fat celeb had her stomach stapled and has all the resources available today to help her and she has so little self discipline and control that she packs it all back on and then begins to whine and complain again about how hard it all is. Fucking pathetic.
Thank you Hillary…..I was a size 16 about 8 years ago….I'm also 5' 3"….I never was that big….never. I seem to remember when she lost the weight that she said she was a size 6 and that she weighed 146 lbs…..I remember laughing over that one….I'm now a size 6 and I don't weigh anywhere near 146 lbs. These people must think we're idiots.
why would you report this?
i don't even know who she is, but who fucking cares if someone gets 'fat'.
just add fuel to the fire that fat is bad. let's all starve ourselves, we get it.
Re: pfft – I'm 16 and I look thiner, a lot! And I'm waaayyy taller
Re: Fatties Pollute the Planet – F**** U! Don't talk about things you don't know! I'm fat, but I don't eat too much, I make one meal a day, just to not get fatter with my illness. I have a disease in my thyroid. RESPECT PLEASE!!!
I've always been a fan of Carnie Wilson, she's got a sense of humor and gasp! a personality. You can do it Carnie!
Re: Dominicangirl – Spoken like all self justifying fat asses with excuses. It's my metabolism; It's my genetics; It's my medicine; It's my…blah, blah, blah. Excuses. Stop stuffing your mouth, you lard ass fuck. Your just eat once a day? Probably all day long.
Losing weight is hard, hard work! Gaining it, especially through pregnancy and after when you're tending to your little one, is super easy. I feel for the girl. Don't any of you watch biggest loser?? Losing weight is a man's game, it's much harder for women. Don't judge her.
P You and I are canadians, but come on, leave the girl alone. You are no size 6.. . why are women always being berated for the weight? Why do you have to pick on fat gowls all of the time? U R no tiny tim goddamit.
All of you need to shut up until you've been that fat, struggled that much, felt that badly.
Carnie, who gives a damn what your drug-addled father thinks. Don't fall into his way of thinking just because he's your father. He's a victim of abuse and so are you. Take yourself as you are, quit apologizing and stand up for yourself. There is nothing the hell wrong with you as you stand this minute, fat and all; you owe nobody anything. Get back to being a wife and a mother and a musician. It's what you do best. Anybody who doesn't like it needs to STFU.
She looks like she´s overdone with Photoshop or something like that!
Please. She weights more than 208lbs.
She lied about her weight when she had the surgery. She was A LOT more than 300lbs. Glad she's coming out about her weight gain.
Maybe now she will deal with the real issues of her weight gain and the control food has in her life.
Over 200 lbs and a size 16??? Bull Shit!
HOW MUCH PAINT DID THEY AIRBRUSH ON THIS WHALE? THE REAL CARNIE LOOKS LIKE A CRACK HEAD THIS PICTURE LOOKS LIKE SHES A SUPERMODEL, THE FACE NOT THE BOD.
THAT GIRL CAN EAT.
I've read your posts. Some are supportive and loving. Some are so stupid and ignorant…. and some make a lot of sense. I appreciate EVERYONE'S post because it means you care enough to even write. To the idiots who just want be cruel and kick me while I'm down…. well…. you must be perfect, huh? I'm sure you look like fucking super models and have achieved all your goals. I feel sorry for people like you. FYI….. I don't lie about my weight or my size. I am 208 and I am a size 16. If you don't believe that…. well who gives a shit. I don't have to defend myself to no one and I won't. I'm not complaining about my weight gain. I am sharing what is going on with me because there are people who actually follow my journey of weight loss and gain. They go through it too. You all have seen many sizes of me. If you are tired of hearing me open up, then don't listen. Don't watch. I will always be dedicated to helping the people that suffer from morbid obesity. If that means sharing when times are great and when times are rough…. so be it. At least I don't fucking hide out and pretend to be something I am not. I try my best to be a good person. The truth is that if I was walking down the street and someone fell down in front of me… I'd help them get up. Even if it was one of you that said mean things about me. I'd help you up. Would you do the same?
I know who I am and I will NEVER be ashamed of my struggles . CONTINUE…..
CONTINUED… if some of you get off on kicking someone when they are down,… well then that's just pathetic. Try judging me for who I am and my courageous actions rather than the size of my ass (I know… so HARD for you to do!!!! LOL). I know some of you think it's funny and comical. The truth is I have feelings. If your goal is to hurt my feelings then you have succeeded. Does that make you feel better? Feel better about yourself? Guess what… I've been hurt before. It only makes me stronger and better. Remember, I am not the thin girl, the fat girl or the somewhere in between girl… I am Carnie and I am damn proud.
she's still pretty. i look like shit when i'm that fat.
she cannot sing and this disgusting personal struggle should not be in the media. i was horrified to hear her pathetic attempt of singling a lullabye with her hubby on tv. it was AWFUL. her face is awful. her struggles should be PRIVATE. we dont want to hear about it and you cannot sing! you were so bad on tv. really and truly awful. I felt bad for you. that's the problem. we feel bad for you.
If girlfriend would keep up with the news, she would know that there is a link between obesity and not sleeping enough hours. She just needs to admit she loves to eat, is addicted to food and ask Dr. Drew for rehab help!
why does this ok picture look photo shopped?
there is no fucking point in doing that
she may be fat but what great skin!
hahahaha
