LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Late actress Kirstie Alley had seen a major share of ups and downs in her weight-loss journey. The 71-year-old's odyssey was not easy which makes it very relatable for the fans who had been with her tumultuous journey in terms of weight-loss wins and setbacks. Before the start of 2004, the mother-of-two said that she never faced an issue regarding her weight during her childhood days but it changed one summer when she gained over 40 pounds.
As per the reports of OK!, Kirstie said, "I spent my whole life thin, then one summer I probably gained around 40 or 50 pounds." She later told Oprah in 2004, that she was not even aware of the fact that she had an issue with her weight at first. "Honestly, I didn't know how fat I was," she said. "Thanks to the tabloids, I went, 'Damn, girl, you're fat!'" The Emmy and Golden Globe award winner later revealed that it was due to her eating habits, she gained more weight before even realizing it. She added that she often over-ate for months around the holidays. “It’s not in my nature to plan,” Kirstie told People in 2016. “I’m a very spontaneous person, and that’s how I got fat."
