Los Angeles, California, United States (CNS) – Move over, Jason Alexander and Valerie Bertinelli. Carrie Fisher is the newest celebrity to fight the battle of the bulge with the help from Jenny Craig.

The actress and author has signed up to serve as the company’s spokeswoman and vows to shed 30 pounds with its weight-loss program, according to People magazine.

“I’m fat,” Fisher said. “All the clothes in my closet belong to another chick. They have to make a new alphabet for my bra size.”

When the 54-year-old starred as Princess Leia in the 70′s science fiction hit movie “Star Wars,” she weighed 105 pounds. Fisher said she eventually reached her heaviest at 180.

Last November, Fisher joined the company’s new MetabolicMAX program and has been eating plan-approved meals and exercising five days a week. Reports say she’s already lost 12 pounds.

The actress and author said her weight gain was a combination of bad habits and emotional eating.

“What you gain emotionally, you lose because you feel better. Then whoops, you’re fat! Then, you’re depressed about being fat, and you wind up taking another pill,” she said. “But I had to stop making excuses.”

Fischer had also struggled with drug and alcohol abuse as well as mental illness.

“I look on the Internet and they say, ‘Whatever happened to Carrie Fisher? She used to be so hot and now she looks like Elton John,’” she said. “I was really hurt.”

Fisher has already shot several photos and television commercials for Jenny Craig’s new advertisement campaign, which will launch in February.
