You’ve got to admire her resilience. She’s pushing 60 and constantly battling weight issues but that doesn’t keep her down!

Kirstie is a beautiful woman who has been facing weight battles for about a decade. Several years ago she made up her mind to lose those ego shattering extra pounds. And she did.

Anyone who knows the agony of losing weight understands what a monumental task that is! Granted she had the, undoubtedly free, help of Jenny Craig and a spokesperson contract to boot. But it was still Kirstie who had to have the willpower and lose the weight. Kudos. That takes will and determination!

Then she gained it back. Weight loss is so difficult, maintenance is that much more difficult. We saw less of her (hell, she dropped completely off the Jenny Craig radar!) and what little we did see was proof of her heartbreaking backslide.

Then she suddenly turned up on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ She still had the weight, but she also still had that stunning face and a bling-clad wardrobe that would be the envy of beauty queens anywhere.

God bless her – she moves like an angel in a gossamer cloud – weight be damned! As I saw her floating across my tv screen in a recent promo I could only marvel at her chutzpah. Clearly her ego wanted a body that was slender and lissome. But when fate gave her a body that she had rejected years earlier she mustered her courage, planned her strategy and spit right into the eye of her ego! Way to go you brave woman you!

When you see her glide across that dance floor in front of millions of viewers you can’t deny that she looks awesome. Does she look perfect? You tell me, what’s perfect?
