Kirstie, What If It Doesn't Really Matter?

Kirstie Alley is bouncing around the headlines once again. You know the topic - her weight. The stunning thing (and one of the things that could keep tabloids gushing about the issue) is that Ms. Alley continues to pummel herself with quote after quote about how disgusting she is.

Sorry, Kirstie. I don't agree with that notion, and you won't be able to convince me otherwise.

However, she is being awfully hard on other people who might otherwise find beauty in themselves. In other words, her ability to be a good role model isn't determined by her size, but by her grace in responding to it.
