Carnie Wilson made the news today

She didn't make the news because of her failed Gastric Bypass procedure, but the horrible media sure made a point to put it in their news article.

She's about to loose her house to foreclosure. I'm not sure I feel sorry for her financial woes if she was living on borrowed income - but I do feel sorry for her that the press can't seem to leave things like her weight alone. I have to wonder how much her weight re-gain has to do with her lack of generating new income. I know myself how much I withdraw from social activities when my weight increased. I can't even imagine what it would be like as a celebrity and having to face the ridicule by the media and such knowing that her WL procedure didn't work.

I think this is a classic example of why people are afraid to tell friends, family and others that they are having surgery. The UNINFORMED people classify all weight loss procedures in one category and focus in on what they want to remember without really knowing the facts. The last thing people going through this need to hear is those who automatic dismiss them that their surgery won't work. Little do they know most people do their homework before they embark on such a life altering decision.

I do hope Carnie can get back on her feet.

That is so tacky! And to show a couple of her pictures from when she was skinny?? I would be pissed if I was her. Heck, I'm pissed and I'm not her!!

You are right...the before and after pictures are so sad and take away from her plight of losing her home. So many people losing their homes. For her, she has lost so much already.

Rooting for a huge comback for Carnie in all aspects of her life.

The comments were rotten too! (By the way...She looks fantastic in that green dress!) The whole weightloss stigma is such a mess! No wonder she got the surgery in the first place. Good luck to us all with our surgery, and good luck with living in such a stupid society if we slip up!

I was thinking the same thing about the green dress!! LOVE the sandals too! :)

Wow, that was a horrible article. I don't even know why her weight should come into that! Now, I am really upset on her behalf. I really hope things work out for her.
