Nobody wants their children to go through something that caused them so much pain and hardship throughout their own life, but singer Carnie Wilson fears her 6-year-old daughter may have inherited her addictive personality.
The Wilson Phillips singer, whose career is on the upswing thanks to a cameo in the hit comedy Bridesmaids, has publicly dealt with weight and sobriety for years. In a recent interview, she blames her addictive personality, saying:
“I always think I am one of the the millions and millions of people that struggles with an addiction to food. I don’t know how to relax, that’s my problem. I can’t smoke a joint, I can’t have a glass of wine, because I want 10 joints and 10 glasses of wine. That├óΓé¼Γäós my obsessive compulsive and addictive behavior. I├óΓé¼Γäóve really struggled since I├óΓé¼Γäóve become sober.”
She famously lost 150 pounds during a gastric bypass operation in 1999, but has since gained some of what she lost back, continuing to tell sources:
“I├óΓé¼Γäóve had so much stress in the last year so it├óΓé¼Γäós really struggle. I never hide, when I walk down the street, someone├óΓé¼Γäós going to take my picture, that├óΓé¼Γäós what I look like. It├óΓé¼Γäós usually a sh**ty picture. I├óΓé¼Γäóm definitely up in weight. I├óΓé¼Γäóm looking forward to getting an exercise routine again. It├óΓé¼Γäós like a daily decision. Am I going to eat healthy today or am I going to make some sh**ty decisions?”
The mother of two is a little scared that her 6-year-old daughter, Lola, may already be displaying signs of the personality trait she’s been struggling with for years, explaining:
“I see Lola loving sugar like all the other children but I also see her pay a little more attention like when there├óΓé¼Γäós a birthday party, I see her being the first in line to get the cake. I see me in her.”
Ultimately though, Carnie is optimistic that she can teach Lola the value of eating in moderation and exercising regularly, adding:
“I think she├óΓé¼Γäós going to be alright as long as we├óΓé¼Γäóre in control of this. She is an active child. The trouble is in the last year I just fell off the wagon with my exercise routine.”
