Kirstie Alley On Oprah
Kirstie Alley was on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” and told Oprah that she felt terrible and sorry that she had let all the people down who she had previously motivated.
As the Jenny Craig spokeswomen Kirstie Alley literally lost all her weight in front of hundreds of thousands of people. Kirstie was constantly weighed by her employers for legal reasons (she had to weigh what they were advertising). She followed the meal plan and worked out consistently in her fully equipped home gym.
Unfortunately she gained the 70 pounds back plus an extra 15 pounds.
After she stopped being the spokeswomen for Jenny Craig she basically went back to her old habits or comfort zone if you will. She ate whatever she wanted, never checked her weight and put all the exercise equipment in the garage.
There was nobody coming to her house to weigh her and nobody to keep her honest. The actor even admitted when it came to food, she had no control.
She also said that she almost died when she saw Valerie Bertinelli her replacement spokeswoman in a bikini on the cover of People magazine and in a new ad for Jenny Craig.
The biggest mistake Kirstie Alley made was changing her routine and no longer having a support team. Losing weight and keeping it off requires a life style change. When a program is in place and positive changes are happening and you reach your goals, don’t quit.
If you have a weight problem there is a good chance that you have had this problem most of your life. To finally reach your goals and then to stop or quit what worked for you, makes absolutely no sense.
Whether it’s Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers or what ever else you joined to help reach your weight loss goals don’t quit. Who ever said that only fat people can go to these weight loss clinics.
Most of these programs provide support groups, which was a huge reason why you lost the weight in the first place. If you could have done it by yourself, you would have done it years ago.
When you find something that you like and it works stay with it. “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”
