In a recent interview with People Magazine, Ricki Lake is quoted as saying,

“I can’t believe I was a fat person for most of my life,”

Ummm okay.  Did you own a mirror??  Weren’t you cast as the chunky girl in Hairspray.  Why the sudden surprise – that’s my question??

Ricki Lake lost 140 lbs and is holding steady.

How did she do it:

“I didn’t have surgery and I worked hard. There’s no secret. I’m active. I watch what I eat,”

With a little help from meals delivered by a service called Fresh Dining (“It’s organic, it’s fresh, and I still love it,” she says) she is able to keep the weight off.

Good meals delivered to your home – is a definite plus!!  I would love to have healthy food delivered to my doorstep.  The only delivery people that come to my neighborhood is pizza, chinese food or greek food.

Ricki did leave room for error by stating,

“Something tragic in my life could happen and I could balloon and gain weight. I can’t promise I will be like this forever.”

Is it me or is that statement a complete contradiction – you can’t believe you were fat, yet you can’t promise you will maintain this weight forever.
