Miriam Margolyes' LIFELONG REGRET

AFTER IGNORING HER HEALTH, THE STAR NOW FEARS A DIFFICULT FUTURE

- 

Honest to a fault, Miriam Margolyes wishes she'd made different lifestyle choices in her youth, as she now finds herself unable to walk freely because of ongoing health issues. So serious is her situation, the British actress fears she'll soon "be in a wheelchair".

Miriam made the admissions during a new interview on the How To Fail podcast. She professed that she only had herself to blame for her predicament.

"The one thing I have not conquered and should have conquered is my weight," a frank Miriam stated. "I am fat. And to be fat and 82 is truly pathetic.

"I've limited my life because of my longing for fudge or chopped liver, cheesecake. All these absurdities, I shouldn't have been so greedy, [I should] have been stronger.

"It wasn't joy, it was laziness, it was greed and I regret it," she added.
