So how many of us really believed Star Jones Reynolds lost 160 lbs. by doing Pilates? My ass certainly did not after I tried, and the saddle bags are still in full effect. Well, Star has come clean in an article for Glamour magazine that will be on newsstands August 7th.

Star says,

“I admit that when asked about my obvious weight loss over the past four years, I was intentionally evasive. Lying was never an option for me, so I called it a ‘medical intervention,’ which was true, but it was really a pathetic attempt to tell only the truth I could handle at the time.”

Star weighed 307 pounds on August 19, 2003 — the day she went in for her surgery — and reveals that as she lay in the pre-op room of the hospital, she went back over her life to discover how she ended up going from curvaceous to morbidly obese, thereby requiring the life-saving procedure she was about to undergo.

She reveals, “I couldn’t breathe without sounding winded; walk without getting tired; sleep without snoring; or take a flight without using a seat belt extender.”

So why is she talking about it now? Star says it was for fear it wouldn’t work and she was afraid what people would think of her. Or just maybe, I don’t know, it’s because she has a new talk show coming out on August 20th for Court TV.
