Oprah: How did I let this happen?
Posted by Media Outrage on December 9, 2008
Now that Oprah’s weight has crept back on her she is very disappointed in herself for not doing more to keep it off.
Via People:
Having packed 40 pounds onto her former 160-pound self, Oprah Winfrey is declaring, “I’m mad at myself” because she’s “fallen off the wagon.”
As the media mogul, 54, writes in the January issue of her O magazine hitting newsstands Tuesday (and provided in advance to the Associated Press by Winfrey’s Harpo Productions): “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?’ “
For starters, the fact that her thyroid was out-of-balance gave her “a fear of working out,” she says. “I was so frustrated I started eating whatever I wanted – and that’s never good.”
Having slimmed down to 160 in 2006, she admits, “Yes, you’re adding correctly. That means the dreaded 2-0-0.”
Choosing a gown for the Barack Obama inauguration coming up in January, however, made Winfrey realize her self-image was no longer jibed with the person standing on the scales – though the real low point occurred last April.
“I felt like a fat cow,” Winfrey writes of the occasion when she sought to skip out on a Las Vegas show taping with Cher and Tina Turner. “I wanted to disappear.”
Mediaoutrage- Hey if being a little over weight is your only issue you’re doing well for yourself. We mean, when you wake up every morning with a networth in excess of $2.5 billion, and you can shop and buy whatever you desire, being a little chubby is a minute matter.

Oh girl..get over it! You will never be a size 6 you are a woman with curves!
People are committing suicide because they can’t pay their mortgage, homeless men are on the street everyday begging for money and you are upset because you gained a few pouunds!
All the d@m $$$ in the world, and you can’t get lipo and hire a cook that will keep you at 160 or whatever!

Oprah was ever a big woman, people expect her to be thin? she would look like a stork, the woman looks good and dont need to loose any more weight. Loosing too much weight will also effect her heart. I think she should stay how she is and ignore people who say she should get thinner, everyone cant be thin, besides she is not in her 20’s anymore she is 54 years old and she looks nice for her age. If I was oprah I would ignore all these negative people wanting her to get thin, why she would just become unhealthy and sick, that is her nature to be a big boned person and I think she looks good. What more do she want she have everything she could ever want in life.

Please O, while you bullshittin, you still can get yo ass “Cut Up” real Color Purple style!!
Holla at me O!

Oprah needs to realize it is not meant for her to be skinny. I realized that a long time ago. Girl embrace ur rolls, but dont get too many. Tell America, love me love my rolls.n And she needs to realize she isnt in her 20’s anymore, hell not even her 40’s. And I agree wit Ms E, there are far more important things to think about than why O can’t wear capris or sleeveless shirts in the summer. She still has billions.

@ 1coolazzchic – who wants a stick figure anyway?!
December 9, 2008 at 5:32 pm
O do your thing. Who cares if you’re not thin. You’re worth $2.5billion? damn!

if i had that type of money i would take a shit on a cop’s car just to get arrested and bail myself out and then go to court and pay my fines in cash and then piss on the courtroom floor and do it all over again. cause im rich bitch! oprah stop complaining and meet me somewhere so i can spray “felicia, donte, alexander, heather, jamal, kwame, and Gee” up in you.

LMAO @ Marathon Man You are sooo crazy!
December 9, 2008 at 6:18 pm
That goes to show that money is not means to happiness! I hope she picks herelf up and gets moving again…I have been there before and I know that feeling! It is hard as hell! coolazzchic you hit the nail on the head. I am in the same boat myself. I will never be thin or skinny. I am only 5′2 but I got curves that just will not go away and ever since I had my children, I can REALLY forget it. I have accepted that I am THICK AS HELL and even at my smallest I still have major hips and ass!

Those Christian Louboutin’s take the focus off of the rest of her. They are the ish!!!!

I don’t feel sorry for her. She one of few people who could have a Curves and a24hr Fitness built in her backyard,a personal chef and trainer, and a dude who pops out of no where with a gun who says “If you eat that I will blow your fucking brains out” follow her at all time, and she gains weight. Come on now, give me a normal person who last weight and gained it back, then I’ll feel sorry…

Dear Oprah,
) It’ll be great if you could engage yourself in some online games or even chatting ..something that can keep you ’so occupied’ for hours around your usual snack time..(4 to 7)
Your metabolism is slow and your tendency to gain weight is easier than average. You cannot follow strict diets as your lifestyle would not suit that either. Eat what you love to eat while doing what you love to do. Meaning..Cut down the quantity of each meal by suppressing your appetite. Have the habit of drinking yughurt drink or even water, a glass or two before each meal. Early dinner and sleep late. In between, have plenty of water( 2 ltrs by your bedside) as you read or do anything that interest you to divert your attention from any snacks..(Preferably, store them in a place which is inconvinient for you to just grab ‘em
Play your favorite music and dance till you sweat. Walk your cute li’l pets and play balls with them. Have early breakfast and if poss skip lunch and have lots of raw green munch or fruits instead.
Love you lots! :*

Your look per se is not an issue. You look gorgeous to me. BUT, if it’s bothering you..it’s become a problem. Do what makes you happy.
