I think so too, added to that, she's smart and funny and has a beautiful spirit!

I don't know if anyone saw this but it reminded me of when the media was calling Tyra fat over a picture they took of her in a swimsuit. Well she fired back and wore the same suit on her show.:D I don't watch her show but did see this. She is a beautiful woman, just like Kristy.

Personally I can't watch her. She has a terrible potty mouth, and I just think if your intelligent you wouldn't need to use bad words to get your point across. I use to just love watching her and John Travolta on "Look Who's Talking". That's when she was really fun to watch........but not since then.

:) I saw that show too and she looked fabulous!

Also, Kirstie Alley is a beautiful woman! It is sickening how American society still can't get it right when it comes to shutting up about a woman not wanting to be skinny. I watch some of the leading actresses and cringe when I see bone and read how acceptable that is. Most of them have huge eating disorders just to stay thin. Of course there are those disorders that cause one to be obese too. I am not for staying obese, because of health issues, and I do feel the same for those who are just too thin. I think Kirstie should aim at dropping 1 or 2 dress sizes only. But trying to fit into that skinny little piece of cloth she had on a mannequin, because of all the bothersome and ugly comments about her weight...is absurd. I'd tell them where to get off if it were me, and then drop 1 or 2 sizes for MY peace of mind, because she seems to want to lose some of the weight.

Being an overweight person all my life I use to feel sorry for her, but right now I am also a little tired of her debasing herself and other overweight people by doing some of the TV shows she does. It is very sad and disheartening to see her trying to come across as something other than the real person of Kirsti. I really think Kirsti doesn't even know who she is anymore. I wish she would relax, accept the fact that she is overweight and probably always will be. Get a makeover and become the 50 ish Kirsti that she is and embrace it. Maybe try to get jobs as the mom and quit making shows about her fat.

I agree. I've always been heavier. I do realize that I need to work on it, to benefit my health and my (hopefully) future career (theatre). But it's hard sometimes to sum up the motivation when no matter what, someone is always going to find something wrong with peoples' bodies. Even when I reach my goal weight, I won't be a size two, just because my body isn't built like that. Some people just aren't *meant* to be super tiny.

My best friend of 9 years is a size 4. She has serious self-image problems, and has been battling anorexia for a while (we're an odd pair LOL). It's largely because her mother is a perfectionist and wants her to look like celebrities! Jess (my friend) was a little bit chunky when we were little, so her mom was always on her case. Now we're almost 17 and she's a size 4. Yeah, she's gorgeous. and her mom now realizes what a problem the way she treated her was. But it's kind of too late cause her view of herself is always going to be skewed.

It sucks on both ends. The skinny people are viewed as female dogs (even though most of them AREN'T), and face constant pressure to stay skinny. The big people are seen as pigs (even though most of them aren't!!) and face constant pressure to become skinny!! There's a LOT more to a person than how they look.

Megan you are so right....when I read you I'm always impressed by your insight - no matter what your age is :p

The endless diets can't be healthy and unfortunatly there really is a stigma for being overweight. My friend has shared what she lives with and I was almost crying listening to what she has to deal with and how it makes her feel

BellaDonna - I agree with you too. Kirsty Alley seems to be making fun of weight but is probably doing it all for the money and I wonder why - - she's a good actress (I've never seen her shows - but the promos are all over the place)

one thing I'd like to say (and we all do it) but - women shouldn't be concerned with what MEN think - only how we view ourselves - but it's just freakin hard not to look in the mirror and find faults ...women are tough on themselves ....

a man can look in the mirror and think ...."oh yeah...I'm hot....what woman wouldn't want a piece of THIS ?"

never mind that they may be just as overweight as the women they may look down on - or really short - or the one that gets me - that little tuft of hair on the top of their head when they're losing that hairline -

I may be stereotyping but when I see that on a man I always wonder "Why don't you shave that thing.. it looks like a dust bunny" (my G rated version of what it looks like) :p:p

I think Jessica is about a size 12-14 also. I think part of the problem is stars who say they are a size 0, 2 or 4 when very clearly they are not. Who are they kidding? I don't care what the tag reads on their designer clothes, Jessica was no size 4 when those photos were taken.

yup - you're right :) which is why I wonder why us women always think about what MEN think when it comes to weight

I totally agree, there is no way she is a size 4 there.
She still is beautiful to me though. Even now if you watch her new show she still isn't a size 4/

I still think that Kirsty Alley has a positive attitude and she was always that way even before all the weight gain. JMO :D
