How did Star Jones go from this...
...to this?
Star Jones has finally come clean about how she dropped all those pounds she was carrying around on the set of her last gig, The View. In the September issue of Glamour Magazine, Star confesses to undergoing the popular diet surgery, gastric bypass.
Yeah..that was a surprise!
Here are some quotes taken from the interview:
I admit that when asked about my obvious weight loss, I was intentionally evasive.
First I didn't know if the surgery would work. I had never stuck to a diet or committed to exercise for more than a month, and I had spent my entire adult life telling everyone that I was fine with the way I looked. I was also terrified someone would have a tragic result after emulating me.
After I left The View, many women told me they felt empowered by my honesty over having been fired - but wished I was willing to be as honest about my weight loss.
In fact, true freedom and healing started to come when I began to talk about my surgery with strangers. I talked openly to people at the airport, to my taxi driver, to women in the middle of Target, while shopping. At first I was terrified someone would sell me out to the tabloids, but as I began to trust the lessons I was learning about not being able to control everything, I was able to relax. Talking about my weight loss finally gave me the control I'd hungered for.
Page Black's Thoughts: Star, do you really think folks didn't already know how you took the weight off? All the signs were there that you did this by way of surgery. We can all tell when someone loses weight the natural way (Oprah Winfrey ) vs. going under knife.
