Oprah Has Fallen Off The Skinny Wagon
Oooooprah has had an epic battle weight the chunk for eternity and she's been very honest about it with her legions of followers. For a while there, Oprah was at her "ideal weight" thanks to personal trainers, chefs, airbrush artists (see above), lipo-technicians, colonic experts, priests, magic elves and Gayle King. Well, Oprah now says she's fallen off the wagon and weighs 200lbs. Her BMI is 31.8 which is considered obese by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In the January issue of O Magazine (via NY Times), she writes, "I'm mad at myself. I'm embarrassed. I can't believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, 'How did I let this happen again?'"
Oprah went on to write that she gained 60 pounds in 2 years because an out-of-balance thyroid condition made her scared of working out. She said she knew shit wasn't right when she almost missed a taping with Cher and Tina Turner, because she felt like a "fat cow."
Oprah is now taking action....again. During the week of January 5th, she will bring her personal trainer, sex therapists, spiritual experts and Suze Orman on to her show to talk about healthy living.
How does this happen to Oprah? She's the mighty OPRAH! She can do anything. Can't she just demand that her fat cells leave her body immediately? Or maybe she can pay off the CDC to declare that a BMI of 31.8 is perfect and anyone above or below that is not worthy.
And she can easily drop a ton of useless fat from her life by ordering Dr. Phil to leave the fucking planet.

Nice.
Please help me, I'm starting to like Oprah now. Oh God. I really like her for being so honest about how much she weighs and that she's a food addict. She is actually looking human and humble now. Oh no. I can't like her, right???
"It kind of looks like a little girl and her memaw bonding during karaoke hour at Shady Pines."
Both she and her downmarket knock-off Tyra Banks always want to brand themselves as these female empowerment gurus, but that's always undone by the fact that they're hypocritically reliant on cameras with slimming effects and all manner of magazine digital trickery to make themselves appear tinier. Oprah in particular shills trendy diet and exercise tripe to her audience that clearly isn't working for her. And I love how they're always victims of over-zealous magazine editors. You're at the helm of a massive corporate empire, and you expect us to believe you have no control over your own image?

Duh... The answer to Oprah's question is "evolution." We are programmed to eat and eat more when food is plentiful. This is how humanity made it through periods of starvation. Somehow you have to work around that, and it's not easy.
I advise a fish-based diet and scissors exercises with Gayle. Oh wait. She's already doing that! :)

Actually...your diet has a LOT more to do with your weight than exercise. People who diet a lot and don't exercise generally lose more weight than those who exercise a lot but don't diet. Dieting" is also not about restricting calories per se (unless you're eating 5,000 a day currently), it's about eating natural, healthy foods instead of processed crap.
-------------------------------------------------
I agree ricki. My family was raised on rice and gravy, fried chicken and cornbread but those were some skinny ass bitches. They didnt obsess about calories and eating "healthy" food (kinda like the french) but they all ate natural, home cooked meals everyday, did not snack and they didnt sit around in front of the tv so they were slim women with slamming bodies. I could never fit into the clothes my mom wore when she was in her early 20s.
sounded like you were saying in the last post is if you just eat healthy, no matter if you lay around all day, you can still loose weight....which is a mistruth. If a normal person with normal access to money just layed around all day and only tried to eat healthy with no physical activity...they would gain weight soooo fast and no one should do that

*waving frantically*
Didn't happen to me.
I was physically inactive for almost 3 years. Couldn't even walk a block. Didn't gain any weight and remained slender.
The odd thing is i remember eating a lot of peanut butter fudge. Could make that stuff with my eyes closed.

I have a new weight loss program for Oprah. One I'm sure she hasn't tried but that is guaranteed to work. Every time she puts the wrong food in her mouth I'll slap it out. I'll be slapping from hell to breakfast.

the point is if you stay away from junk food and fatty food ... you can lose weight .. period.
--------------------------------------------------
I think thats true up to a point but it still doesnt change body style and what your natural set weight is. I can literally starve myself down to a size 8 (about 150 pounds). But to be that size, I cannot consume more than 1000-1200 calories per day. And I have to be careful with exercise because I'm short and prone to bulk so it often makes me look bigger. If I eat a normal healthy diet (sans junkfood) and walk daily and lead a fairly active life, then I stick around 163-168 pounds and a size 10 and my bmi is in the overweight range no matter what I do. But then again, my 34DDD titties probably have something to do with that. I'm carrying a toddler on my chest.
Actually...your diet has a LOT more to do with your weight than exercise. People who diet a lot and don't exercise generally lose more weight than those who exercise a lot but don't diet. "Dieting" is also not about restricting calories per se (unless you're eating 5,000 a day currently), it's about eating natural, healthy foods instead of processed crap. People can claim that obesity levels have skyrocketed in the last half-century because of A, B, and C, but the fact of the matter is that it was not that long ago that we ate completely differently (i.e., not going into a supermarket to pick up boxed food) and obesity wasn't nearly as much of a problem.
It is quite conceivable that those lounging around after surgery and eating healthily could lose weight. Anyone who claims differently doesn't know what they're talking about.
Gaining weight, as your dog did because of a Thyroid issue makes sense. Not exercising as Oprah claims she was "scared to" because of her Thyroid issue makes no sense at all. This is where I lose any interest in Oprah because her comments seem confusing and uneducated at times.
If I had a Thyroid issue, I would be exercising more and eating less to compensate, although I totally understand the need for taking meds too.
I guess noone told Oprah that all she needs to do is Airbrush herself again and she'll lose that 60 pounds in no time with or without Bob Greene. :D

For someone who said she already knew about The Secret, she sure hasn't learnt a lot! Action, action, action = a receipe for failure, again! Why doesn't she just realise that she has a block to do with being her ideal weight - thus manifesting the problem `preventing her from working out` - and get that healed?! That's ALL she needs to do! Geesh.

i was not allowed to drive for 3 months ... i wasn't allowed to DO ANYTHING ... and being on short term disability i had limited funds .. so i didn't go to fast food joints on the way to work ... i couldn't order pizza ... i ate healthy foods like fruits, veggies, oatmeal, cheerios, etc. and lost 30 lbs
because i couldn't leave the house .. and had a friend purchase food for me .. i didn't have access to JUNK ...

This, of course, is a unique situation in which yo would loose weight, what it sounded like you were saying in the last post is if you just eat healthy, no matter if you lay around all day, you can still loose weight....which is a mistruth. If a normal person with normal access to money just layed around all day and only tried to eat healthy with no physical activity...they would gain weight soooo fast and no one should do that....but your situation was a monetary and physical barrier that necessitated weight loss...and that fact should be stressed.

It's not like she is huge- like she was years before. yeah, she is bigger now but doesn't look unhealthy because I'm sure while she enjoys certain foods, she is still eating pretty well. I agree that she will never be a certain size, and she is getting older and her metabolism is probably really slowing down. As long as she is healthy and working out on a regular basis- which I heard her say she still was, then she should stop worrying so much.
I can't imagine how great it would be to have someone cook for me and have a cute trainer come over and teach me some things! ;)
heh heh. Of course you know if Oprah was gettin some male dick on the regular, pounding that nonny, makin that flesh wobble and doing it from room to room her ass wouldn't be so concerned about it.

I agree with you.
When I had my gallbladder removed, I had to eat very small meals six times a day. The smaller meals made my stomach shrink. Now, I still eat six small meals a day. Usually, each food group is a separate meal. Plus, I cut most saturated fats outs since I longer have a gallbladder.
