When Carrie Fisher announced last January the deal with Jenny Craig and weight loss goals, she explained:
“I’m pretty fearless, but my scale is frightening. So I would go to the doctor and I would stand not facing it. That’s an adult! I have a child. So that’s something I’d like to not do anymore, be frightened of the scale.”
During her Today Show appearance, she told Ann Curry:
“I couldn’t leave the house to go bra shopping. I exhausted the alphabet on bra sizes.” [googlead tip=”lista_medie” aliniat=”stanga”]

“I want to get back in it and walk around the house like an idiot.”
“You know, answer the doorbell, [and say], <<What, this old thing? I’m just wearing my home style metal bikini>>.”
“I’ll come out with a line of metal bikinis for women over 40.”
But she said women above the age of 50 should not ever go sleeveless.
“I’m still probably not gonna wear a lot of sleeveless things. I lost 50 pounds. The Jenny Craig food is good….It tastes like you’re cheating!”

“I’m putting myself on the market,” she told America’s People during an interview in the latest magazine’s issue.
“I’m ready to date again; this is my announcement.”
