And even back in the day when she did like the way she looked, Star Wars producers still told her she needed to lose 10 lbs. This is when she weighed a lightweight 105 lbs! Well, weight crept up over the years and Carrie mentions that her poor eating habits continued to worsen when she ate junk food and used them as "mood stabilizers."
The former Princess Leia simply says she had to stop making excuses. She joined Jenny Craig in late fall and has already dropped 12 lbs!
