Kirstie Alley -

I read an article last night on Kirstie Alley in the recent issue of People magazine.

I feel sorry for her. She may be rich and famous, but why-oh-why she just doesn't get a lap band and be done with the chronic yo-yo dieting thing is beyond me.

Now she's creating her own diet and writing a book about it. It might make her some $$, but it doesn't take a crystal ball to see she'll be right back where she is a couple of years from now ...

There is peace in knowing you're moving past "just one more diet" - "just one more book" - "just one more gym membership" and that you're getting a tool that can help you permanently.

Amen sister! I saw her on Oprah and wanted to scream the same thing at both of them...apparently Oprah is very anti-WLS though.

Yeah well, both Oprah and Kirstie could benefit from WLS. A band would do them both some good, IMHO.

I agree...sometimes when I'm out in public I see all these heavy people and I know how unhappy they are and I just wish more docs would bring this up. Especially when they are in their 40s like me or older...its like, Hello? How long have you been struggling and are you realizing you are not winning? But I thin primary care docs should at least bring this up! Cali
