Leah Remini: What In the World Happened?
Larry R Harrison Jr
Everytime I see her on "King of Queens" she looks as big as a house. DO NOT
get me wrong, I know all women can't be size 6's, but then again she was
that and I have seen many women have children and then regain their previous
form.
Nothing is sadder--or frankly, more inspiring of me to rant off on
"laziness"--than seeing a woman let herself go. This is looking like a Sally
Struthers rerun some 30 years later.
Anyone else?

I believe there was some recent talk of passing a law. :)

This IS her previous form. Like most people who diet, she couldn't
keep it off.

Good for you. However, I think most of us here in the civilized world
realize there is a difference between being superficial (what you're
apparently suggesting is the case with me) as opposed to taking the "it's
what's on the inside that counts" as an explanation for laziness and not
doing the most with what you've got (which I'm suggesting is what she has
done).

In response to your first point--I have seen many women who DO return to
previous form and still look great, so in my book those who don't are being
lazy and not being a good stewart of their body. Worse, they're
disrespecting their husband and/or boyfriend who has committed to them (Leah
Remini is married) by subjecting them to a subpar appearance that they're
stuck with. What's the difference between that and a man who is highly
overweight or doesn't do the most with what he has out of respect for his
wife or girlfriend?
We so easily remember the "for better or for worse" part of marriage, but we
forget that this is NOT a license to let yourself go. To do this is
disrespectful. Your mate deserves your best--if this applies with other
things, why should it not with appearance too?
As for your second point--I actually agree. I will admit--I look at the Doug
guy and the Carrie from 3-5 years ago and think "yeah right, that's
realistic."

She's was skinny since Cheers and Saved by the Bell almost 15 years ago.

Sounds like you're assuming she hasn't been trying to lose the weight.
Mary Hart interviewed her recently and Leah talked about she's struggled
to lose the weight. Mary mentioned to her that she may end up having it
for the rest of her life referring to the fact that some women simply are
not able to lose all the weight no matter how much exercise and dieting
they do.

or whatever, but I've never bought the idea that it's impossible for a woman
to lose her pregnancy weight. I think it's a cop-out most of the time.
Regardless--if I were her husband, I'd be SO ticked. I know real love runs
more than skin deep, but still--to go from that hot to that huge just like
that and to be stuck with that the rest of your life, man that's got to
hurt.

What about your mother, Larry? Is she model-thin?
If not, do you love her any less for it?

Well, most men don't go through pregnancy and childbirth, which can have a
big impact on your metabolism, hormones, and ability to find time in which
to exercise. Women's bodies vary a great deal in how they respond to all
that. You seem to think it's completely controllable, but it's acxtually
not.
And I speak as someone who *hasn't* had kids and isn't overweight.

On an episode of the reality show "Cheaters," they had a formerly
overweight wife who had done a lot of dieting and exercise to slim down
to a really hot svelte figure. And then she found out her husband was
cheating on her, having an affair with a really fat woman. He told her
that he was always attracted to plus-sized women, and so he stopped
being attracted to his wife *after* she slimmed down.

But shouldn't "stuffing the cashcow" require Remini to go to the
poorhouse to bloat the Scientology bank account instead of bloating her
(sweaty, oily) body w/ food??????

But I'm sure the producers of the show, the creators of the show and the

I've never met her so how could I know anything about her personality. She's

Goro
comedienne. She had this act where she totally bashed on fat people.
Back in the day, she was totally 80s glammed out and thin.

Yeah, lucky for her she didn't develop post-partum psychosis, huh?
It's really odd that your "son" doesn't show up in any of your photos,
Larry. Did you and your wife decide to give him up for adoption or
something?

Her husband may not stay exactly the same either. She isn't "huge",
just noticeably heavier.

That reminds me of an episode of Everwood with Musetta Vander. Or was

World according to Jim springs to mind as well. While it is debatable
that Courtenay is "hot" she is definately out of Jim's league in real
life, who is inarguable not "hot."
