I'm sure there are many, many overweight girls who would love to have a little of the success she has enjoyed, but have been blocked either by discrimination or by their own lack of confidence. I don't think Kirstie suffers very much from the latter! You could say that Kirstie Alley is more fortunate than most, despite the struggles she has with her weight.

Seeing their mom hate on herself cannot be good for them. I feel bad for her daughters. Seeing their mom hate on herself cannot be good for them.

I suppose learning to eat intuitively and love your body just doesn't make good TV. As someone said, she probably desperately needs the money. That Hollywood lifestyle costs a pretty penny. Very sad.

It sucks but that is the real problem, not her weight. There is no place in Hollywood for a strong (at least she used to be), mouthy older woman who does not fit the mold. Rather than confront Hollywood (and most likely loose) she blames her weight rather than the system that only promotes thin, young, conventional actors. It is sad how she has reduced herself to her weight. I so wish she could direct her anger to where it really belongs.

'Cause putting you personal life on TV is SUCH a good idea! Just look at Jon & Kate, or Nick & Jessica! I think she needs to get off of Oprah's couch and onto one belonging to a psychiatrist, so she can learn to love herself just as she is.

She seems so confident, yet clearly has some issues. Or maybe she's just desperate money and has found her niche. Whatever the reason, it really nauseates me the way she's cheapened herself. Peace, Shannon I don’t know what to think of her. She seems so confident, yet clearly has some issues. Or maybe she’s just desperate money and has found her niche.

Peace,
