The headline read “Kirstie Alley: ‘Yes, I Gained 83 Pounds‘” WHAT?? She had lost and looked so good when I started Jenny Craig! What happened?
Kirstie Alley
The PEOPLE article goes on to say “When Kirstie Alley stepped on the scale for the first time in 15 months, it wasn’t pretty. “I started screaming,” recalls Alley, sipping homemade fruit-infused water in her Hollywood kitchen. “It said 228 lbs., which is my highest weight ever. I was so much more disgusting than I thought!”
Not Kirstie! I would do that, but not Kirstie! So did she blame Jenny Craig? NO. She stated the truth – once her agreement with Jenny was done, she did not have the ACCOUNTABILITY of weighting in every week. She had that loaded thought that sabatages all of our weight loss journeys: Now I can eat what I want and not worry about weighing in.
That is how it ’starts’ for all of us. We have a small thought and our rebellious side says – WOW go for it. And we stray off the path, going a little further and a little further until one day we look up, and wonder ‘How did I get back here?’. For me it was a vacation to my home town. I had lost 25 pounds in 3 months. While there I said, out loud, I am on a vacation from my diet. My subconscious rebellious side took that for a go ahead. I stopped by the grocery store, bought a two layer white cake loaded with icing, and ate it all in 2 days time. It took me 3 months to get back on the path I had set for my weight loss journey.
What is Kirsty planning now? To ‘get back on the horse.‘ To hire a personnal trainer, get back into an exercise routine, and start eating the healthy foods in smaller portions. Doesn’t that make you feel better? It does me. It helps to motivate me to pay more attention to my weight loss journey, to go over my reasons I started it, and to continue on to the end.
The only way you can fail is to Quit.
