Oprah Fat Again??? Is anyone surprised?????

Oprah 'embarrassed' about weight gain



Oprah Winfrey opens up about her recent weight gain in an eight-page package in the January issue of O. The coverline reads: “How Did I Let This Happen Again?”

Winfrey writes about how and why she has gained 40 pounds in four years, now reaching 200 pounds. That's right. 200.

“I’m mad at myself. I’m embarrassed.”

She goes on, “I didn’t just fall off the wagon. I let the wagon fall on me.”

According to WWD, Winfrey posed for O in January 2005 when she was at 160 pounds, in her workout wear and an evening gown. “I want to repeat the cover with who I am now and what my story is,” Winfrey says.

Of the challenges that led to the weight gain, “This past year, I took myself off of my own priority list. I wasn’t just low on the list, I wasn’t even on the list.”

The media mogul has thyroid conditions (oh, that old saw!) that also slowed her metabolism. After missing meditation, workouts and eating junk food, the weight piled on. Winfrey was reportedly so upset by her weight gain (but not enough to stop eating) that she didn’t allow any full-body covers of herself, only headshots or poses that hid her expanded body.

Remember those photos of Oprah eating her way through Italy? She really was! See the photographic proof here.

Coincidentally (we’re sure) Winfrey’s O story will launch a weeklong series on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” beginning Jan. 5, “Oprah’s Best Life Week,” which will give viewers thorough advice on health, spirit, money and relationships to guide them through the new year.

Is this a case of "Do as I say, not as I do?'

Hey, you don't think Oprah gained weight just so she could take it off again for ratings and magazine sales, do you?

Hmmm....

OK, is anyone as upset about all this media attention to this topic once yet again. Here we have one of the most wealthy people in all the world. She has private chefs, Bob Green as her own, physical trainer, and yet she has gained weight to talk he up over 200 pounds yet again. I am furious that she is making this news. This is anything but news. What I smell is a future, huge weight loss, and then book deals and a ton on money coming her way about how she did it ( again ), blah blah blah. I use to be a total fan and had so much respect for Oprah, but that is long gone after 2008. Her shows lacked much to them at all. I do not think that Oprah needs to do more right here in her own back yard. While I respected the school for girls in Africa, I just feel that it was a bit much, when we have so many kids who have no food and do not get the chance to go to school year in the United States. I have been in the far south where my family grew up and I have seen how bad it is still today. Oprah, get over it, you are a big girl, love yourself for who you are. Try gastrip bypass, it works and could be just what you need. I think you are a greedy business woman and you do not really do much to help people in need. Good deeds start at home.
