Fat Entrepreneur Kirstie Alley

Now that Kirstie Alley is no longer the Jenny Craig spokeperson, she’s out to make her own weight-loss program. She released a statement in which she says she wants to create something “exciting and innovative” and change fat America to fit America.

Somehow, I’ve also fallen into the position of “accidental” role model for, apparently, millions of people out there losing weight by whatever means. This was something I did not bargain for, or foresee happening. Nevertheless, it is something I’ve grown to embrace and something I intend to continue to pursue.

As for me, I am from the school of “you may not be able to reinvent the wheel but you can sure try to better it,” which has proven to be a very successful attitude for Michelin tires. Even my own mentor left a major weight-loss company when she was 51 years old and struck out on her own to create her own brand that we now know as “the Jenny Craig weight-loss program.” I had not intended to make this announcement at this time, but after an online PEOPLE magazine article ran last Friday, announcing that I had stepped down as Jenny’s spokesperson, I found myself bombarded with inquiries from the media and fans. So I guess it’s as good of a time as any to announce that I intend to develop and pilot my own weight-loss brand that I hope to launch in 2009.

The weight-loss field is wide open and not immune to new ideas and improved solutions for the fat problems that plague many of us Americans every day. I want to create something new that will help millions of people end the seemingly never ending fatty-roller coaster ride. I am especially passionate about seeing to it that our next generations are not struggling with the same weight issues that my generation has struggled with.

So now she’s going to start making the wheel of weight-loss better. I heard a rumor the new system involves ordering pizza and then calling Kirstie over to your house. She’ll fight you “cage match” style in your kitchen and then you watch her eat the whole thing while you get some of the crust scraps. I can’t fully confirm the rumor though.
