on Ricky Gervais Hating On The Fat, Lagerfeld Approves at 01:28 01/06/2009

I have fibromyalgia. That means I have pains at various spots throughout my body, extreme menstrual cramps, pains that grab me, and extreme fatigue. Marathons aren't an option, walk-a-thons are. But with the walking, I need to worry about extreme pains that wake me up at night. Because I'm not as mobile as I could be, and writing a screenplay that's playing with my head, I have gained a lot of weight. Fibromyalgia is a valid excuse for GASTRIC BYPASS. Some people are just plain lazy; have you seen the John Goodman pics on TMZ? Have you seen Aretha Franklin lately? Not everyone who is obese is lazy. I'm also an actress, so losing weight is key to getting an keeping a role. I am a Type A personality who loathes fat on me, and I will be getting the gastric bypass. It's not because I'm lazy, it's because I was born sick, and it will save my life. Fibromyalgia is a REAL disease, despite what people say.
