Carnie Wilson appeared on the December 11, 2007 edition of The Today Show to promote her new Christmas album. But as usual, she spoke very openly about her up-down-experiences with weight and health since her very public gastric bypass surgery.

Since the birth of her daughter in 2005, Carnie has struggled to return to her post-surgery weight, even participating in Celebrity Fit Club Season 4. She gave two interviews on the show, on with Al Roker, and a follow-up chat with Hoda Kotbe and Natalie Morales. I feel that her personal philosophy is compelling:

“Women are already feeling the pressure with the scale, with the size of the pants,” she said. “I feel like, let’s forget the number. Let’s just get into a health zone that’s comfortable and good for you and not worry about the exact number. That’s what makes us crazy.”

‘Forget the number and focus on health’ is a key tenant of the Curvy Life mission. Carnie Wilson’s journey has led her to the same conclusion.
