Janet Jackson to write book on yo-yo weight

Janet Jackson has revealed she’s writing a book about her yo-yo weight loss and gain.

Over the last year, Janet gained 60lb - supposedly for a film that didn’t happen - before losing it again, then putting 20lb back on, only to lose that weight a second time.

She told People magazine recently: “I’m writing a book on my journey of weight loss and weight gain.”

“I’m really coming from the soul with it, and what I was going through at different times in my life and what possibly brought it about for myself.”

“I could not believe how big I was [last year], how heavy I really was.”

“I would see myself in the mirror, but I wouldn’t look too often. I didn’t want to get used to that image.”
