Carving The Path
Karen devised a method to explain her odd eating habits while they were on tour. She would say: “When you’re on the road it’s hard to eat. Period. On top of that, it’s rough to eat well. We don’t like to eat before a show because I can’t stand singing with a full stomach…You never get to dinner until, like, midnight, and if you eat heavy you’re not going to sleep, and you’re going to be a balloon.”

The Obsession
In August 1973, after their concert at Lake Tahoe, Karen was astonished by what she saw in pictures of herself. She was convinced her belly stood out in photos, and she at once tried to find a personal trainer who could assist her in getting “back into shape.” However, the trainer turned out to do things that were worse than what she had expected.
