Kirsti, you didn’t let anyone down. We’re not that into you. Your weight is your business and the fact that you ‘went off the wagon’ isn’t news. Everyone knows how people gain weight, everyone has either struggled with it themselves or knows someone who is struggling, so I really don’t see how keeping track of celebrities yo-yo dieting is of interest or of help.

I wish Kirsti Allen would just go back to acting, she can be a lot of fun to watch, she’s very funny. 

I think that the above remark from DeBurca shows a lack of sensitivity about how people like Kirstie Allen feel about their ongoing battle with their weight.

"We’re just not that into you."?  That’s pretty cold.  Here is a woman who put her life out there.  She FEELS as if she let people down.  She didn’t mean everybody, but I’ll bet you there are a few people out there who thought that if Kirstie could lose weight, maintain her sense of humor and move on with her life, then they could do that too.

The fact of the matter is, celebrities are role models, not just for their talent (whatever that may be) to many people out there.  She probably gets a lot of mail from people and feels the need to address them outside the tabloid press (always happy to publish those oh so flattering shots of people).

Kirstie, the most important thing is if you feel you let yourself down.  You can move on.  And I think I speak for many women when I say we love you through thick and through thin.  Just be happy…and healthy. :)

I only wish her happiness, and the courage from within to be the person she is happy with. Celebrities seem to have a lot of expectations imposed on them by the public, they are just people like everybody else, who have chosen a profession where earning a paycheck seems to make this world feel like they are owed something in return for supporting their craft. A world where appearance comes first, and talent second, constantly on a path of reinventing themselves again to please the world. At some point you would think they would collapse from the energy drain of millions feeding off who they are.

Kirstie has always been a beautiful lady, and still is regardles of the pounds or less pounds that are seen. And may she find the peace of mind and heart in whatever form she has on the outside.  

I learned good nutrition and healthy habits from my mother’s excellent example and as a result have always been slim.

Just like being good with money, good eating/exercise habits are simple…BUT….underlying emotions can drive poor habits in one area of life even for people who are super competent in other arenas.  

I have a young female client who is movie-star beautiful, nice and smart as can be. She was once overweight and yo-yo-ed until she figured out the emotional basis for her over-eating. She did a ton of research and came up with a program/method that is incredibly impressive. I’ve learned a lot from her and can say with absolute certainty that neither Oprah or Kristie are going to lose the weight and keep it off until they get to the emotional core of their eating problems. And…it is incredible how my client’s method does that, and reverses the emotions so they support whatever you wish to do.

I feel sorry for people who go round and round in a disappointing [and unhealthy] cycle of any area of life. Discipline and willpower are not enough if there is a subconscious unreconciled emotion that is in direct conflict with what you say you want to do. And it really does not need to take years of therapy to change it as I’ve discovered from my work with this woman. I truly hope her project takes off as I believe it would really help a lot of people. Including women like Oprah and Kristie who are obviously so disappointed in being overweight.

Ms. Cornelia, why don’t you share this program/method so others can benefit from it?  Perhaps you can write a guest article.
