Carnie Wilson Packing it Back On
The other day I had a bit of spare time and happened to be watching some cheesey show like E or Extra or one of those celebrity-expose' shows when I saw some news about good ol' Carnie Wilson.
Remember her? The fat chick from Wilson Philips? Well, she lost over half her body weight (from 300 to 150 pounds) by getting gastric-bypass surgery. She looked hot, she was thin and she had a new lease on life! (according to the commercials she recorded touting the benefits of gastric-bypass surgery)
From fat to thin to fat again....
Well maybe the lease is over because this program showed poor Carnie at a recent concert looking A LOT heavier than she was at her thinnest, like 50-75 pounds heavier. I asked my boyfriend how this could happen and he stated that the stomach can stretch to accomodate more food and that gastric bypass surgery is a TOOL for weight loss and not the cure.
I don't know why I've been thinking about this. Maybe because Carnie seemed so happy to be thin and I wonder how it feels to start down the road to miserable fatness again. Especially when the whole world is watching you and you've become the poster-girl for this surgery. Maybe she'll get it under control before it becomes overwhelming but right now Carnie Wilson is looking bloated and heavy and I can venture that she won't be making anymore commercials anytime soon about gastric bypass surgery.
