According to Richard Carpenter, Karen was a chubby girl throughout her early years. At age 17 she got her weight under control through willpower; probably inspired by a strong desire to succeed in showbiz. Conventional wisdom says that inside every fat girl is a skinny girl dying to get out; in Karen's case the opposite may be true.
