Back in 1999 Carnie shared her gastric bypass surgery online, which literally cut 150 lbs. off her 300-lb. figure. Since then, the singer has yo-yo-ed up and down. Most recently, the soon to be 40 year-old is weighing in at 208 lbs. and wears a size 16. Carnie had the courage to open up to OK magazine regarding her weight:

“Everyone can see that I’m bigger, but I cannot hibernate,” she tells OK!. “I’ve never lied or been dishonest about what’s going on in my life. Even all these years later, having had such a great weight-loss story, being back in this place is so familiar. And it hurts. I don’t want to feel this way anymore. It doesn’t feel good when you have to struggle to get your pants on.” - OK magazine

Apparently, the root cause of this stars weight gain is snacking and personal neglect. After the birth of her daughter, Carnie turned all her focus on her little girl, leaving zero attention to her weight or diet.

“I had anxiety, started snacking and gained it all back and more,” she says. “I have a weakness when it comes to snacking. For me, it’s a tortilla with cheese, popcorn and graham crackers, all in one night.” - OK magazine

However, Carnie hasn’t thrown in the towel just yet, she is determined to get her weight back on track and then get pregnant:

“I’d like to lose 45 to 50 pounds and then try to get pregnant again. I know I will do it! I don’t consider myself a failure. I just got off track.” - OK magazine

    Anybody who has had a kid or two struggles with weight gain. Particularly when you are sleep deprived, for me anyway, the “eat the cookie” sensor is ON. My biggest battle is the craving for sugar all the time! New moms FREAK out after having a baby.
    I lost the weight with my first by joining Team In Training and ran a marathon six months later!
