Without question, Ted Kennedy Jr. said it best.

Kirstie Alley is, once again, appearing on Oprah today discussing her 85 pound weight gain. What does Our Lady of Weight Loss and Janice Taylor have to say about this weighty matter? Plenty!

Kirstie Alley: Stuck In a Fat Suit?

Losing a substantial amount of weight and gaining it back is very (let me say that again ... VERY ...) depressing. I know, because I've done it. Several times. And I also know what it feels like to permanently remove that excess (50 pounds gone for almost 8 years!). There is a sense of freedom, of self-acceptance, of peace that exceeds words.

And so, I write this column from a place of knowledge, as a weight loss coach, an expert in the field and as someone who walks the talk.

As I listened to Kirstie Alley declare (once again) on Oprah, "I 'm nuts ... seriously." "I'm a brat." "I'm careless and irresponsible." "It is about wearing a bikini." "I'm going to be ripped by November." "Okay February." ... I thought to myself, "Wow, she sure is setting herself up for failure. Again."

And when Oprah said, "Can you believe that you are [we are] talking about this again?" I thought, "Good question, O!, Why are you talking about it again? Why is Kirstie exposing herself yet again to the scrutiny of the public eye, the ridicule?"

Kirstie then went on to say that she has spent the past 1.5 years, while gaining back every single pound lost on Jenny Craig plus an additional 10 pounds, "researching what is missing" from diet plans.

Kirstie further stated that she would start up her own weight-loss brand, even though it was "sort of crazy ... We're in the middle of a recession, and I decide, yes, I'm going to create my own business ... I'm going to lose 80 pounds ... I'm going to be in a bikini again."

Was the appearance on Oprah a set-up? Are we now going to watch Kirstie get 'thin' again, so she can sell us her bill of goods?

Whether Kirstie loses it or not, I can pretty much guarantee that she is going to 'find' it again, because weight loss is primarily a mind set that comes from your belief systems; it's about internal change. It's about self-love and acceptance. Kirstie's words, thought process, affect, sense of self appears not to have changed, moved, shifted, not even one tiny, little bit.

Kirstie, if you want to join the 'permanent fat removal' club, you've got to change your thinking. The bikini is not the prize. Loving yourself is.

about Janice

Do you want to manifest deep, lasting and significant change? Do you want to permanently remove those excess pounds? Do you want to step out of your fat suit? Then you must journey inward, take a good honest look at your core beliefs, what you value most and your identity.

As Our Lady of Weight Loss reminds us, the first step on this inward journey is to take responsibility for where we are right now, in this moment.

Even though you may feel like you are victim to other people cookin' up fattening food and serving it to you; even though you may fall victim to the basket of bread on the restaurant table; even though the fast food restaurants make it cheap n' easy to ingest those burgers and fries - at the end of the day, you are responsible for what you put in your mouth.

Write these questions out in your Our Lady of Weight Loss's Kick in the Tush Club notebooks and then sit back and thoughtfully and honestly answer them!

What part did you play in creating your weight; your excess pounds?

What do you need to do to take responsibility for your health?
What first steps might you take towards creating a healthier you?
