The most recent story with Kirstie Alley talking about her weight gain got to me. Mostly because I'm about the same height and weight as her, and if she's "huge" then I am too. eek Part of the issue is that since she's a celebrity, the tabloids can blow everything out of proportion. She meets people in real life who say to her that she's lost weight, when the real problem is doctored photos that make her bigger than she really is.
