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.

You can be 'fat' and healthy... and you can be unhealthily fat.

Some people, genetically, are not supposed to be thin.

Uhhh, no. I am not addicted to anything.

And why do you claim not to make fun of people for things that they cannot help in the same post as you lambaste Oprah Winfrey for having a huge ego?

Durr, do you think that she choose how her genetic matrix expressed itself?

Hey professor....because Oprah CAN help her huge ass ego. She didn't have one before she started making a zillion dollars telling women things they already knew. If she got rid of all her money and came back down to our planet, the ego thing wouldn't be an issue anymore. Just like a drunk has to get rid of his drink, and a druggie needs to get rid of his substance. Why the hate? Did I touch a nerve?

I'm sure if you dig waaaay down deep into your bellbottoms, you will find your addiction. Everyone has one. ;)

Did you see the episode where Gayle and Oprah drove cross-country and fuckin' Oprah acted like she didn't know how to pump gas and then at the Bellagio in Vegas Oprah was standing in line and said, "Is this how normal people do it?"...and THEN...bitch wondered aloud if they had 1,000-thread-count sheets at a dollar store.

Fuck you and your rich elitist fat ass, Oprah. She's been out of touch with us common folk for the last ten years. Don't ask pitty from me now.

Food is an addiction, that is why there is overeaters anonymous, or OA! Overeating is an eating disorder as well, and you can go to rehab for eating disorders for it, it is not fat camp, it is a rehab for people with all eating disorders, overeating, anorexia, and bulimia. Oprah should start her own rehab center!

Oprah is not meant to be skinny. She's one of those people I am talking about when I say that some people are made to be thick. Like Al Roker or Carnie Wilson or the very nice lady in my building who lost weight and still looks like a fat person. Oprah's one of them. She should just accept her fat and get on with enjoying her pots of money.

I don't watch her show, but I think she's been promoting this "Bob Greene" for at least a decade. You think he'd have told her.

doesn't make sense. she's eating too much and not working out, lol. thyroid is a completely legimate reason for gaining and being unable to lose weight UNTIL you are diagnosed--after that medications and frequent blood tests can keep it in check.

putsomestankonit's picture

Its because this sorry excuse for a human being isn't getting enough hot and nasty sex to keep her weight down.

****************************************

Ain't that the troof? I have the opposite problem as Opie...I'm a skinny ho. Even as I'm aging, I'm a skinny ho...My metabolism is just overactive and I'm built small...I was not meant to be a vampy voluptuous siren...Ain't gonna happen, no matter what I eat. I like being thin, but just like other ho's can too much weight too fast, I can lose it too fast, and neither extreme is purty, so I have to just eat a balanced diet and accept being an ectomorph body type which is what a lot of women THINK they want, but the grass is always greener. It ain't that great. Other women are just as mean to skinny ho's as they are to fat ho's. Men are gnerally not as mean, but...you know they want a little more meat than you have. Bottom line, I stopped tryna be what I ain't long ago. And I'm a happier ho for it. Would I like to look more like JLo (I know hate her too, but...) or Monica Bellucci, or Brigitte Bardot in her prime? You bet, but I'd like to win the lottery, I'd like to win a Nobel prize, I'd like to have super powers, none of that shit is gonna happen.
Opie, just be a big girl and let it go...

You know if she says she is 200, she is really 250! The Big O should just accept her lard ass and be done with it. Doesn't she have Dr. Oz on her speed dial and her personal chef in bed with her? How did her personal minions let her get so big? They should all be FIRED! If I was as rich as her, I would say "fat is the new black, bitches!"

Oprah is the ultimate douche bag - in fact she will always be the ultimate douchebag until she gives me a couple of million after which she will in fact be an all caring, all loving goddess.

I am so over Oprah, she has more money than god yet she whines about being a fat piglet. Here's a thought O, stop FUCKING eating!! It ain't that hard. Just think about that fucking cellulite wrapped around your fat ass and your middle aged belly every time you are getting ready to pop a cumquat in your fucking pie hole! Geez, first we don't give a shit lady and secondly if it cinches up your pucker string every time you look in the mirror - do something about it you lazy fat ass!

Not that I actually give a fuck about Oppy but you'd think a woman who can buy any health guru on the planet would have figured out by now that people have an 'ideal' weight that your body will return to no matter what you do.
Yer a big lady Oppy. Get over it and start taking some of that doctor douchebag advice and "accept yourself".

I fucking hate this bitch. She has waaaaay too much money than she can handle which made her very arrogant and gave her a sense of entitlement. Like "oh, look at me, I am rich and i got my own show and occasionally i feed orphans...how mighty white of me".

whatever happened to people giving and not expecting a red carpet rolled out for them while an army bows down to their supposed greatness? whatever happened to good old fashioned modesty?

everyone is such a sell out whore these days...

both of those pics are heavily photoshopped...the before one makes her look incredibly thin & fit which she wasnt...she got into shape, but her body never looked THAT good & the now pic is also making her thinner than she actually is...if she is admitting to being 200lbs then she must be at least 220lbs.

She looks good plus-sized, it looks like her natural weight, and it probably is, considering how hard it is for her to stay skinny. She looks weird and unnatural when she is thin.

@la coocaracha

Excellent name you've chosen - your spelling's a little off, though.

Until I see any evidence to the contrary (and a fake smiley face doesn't do it), you will always be 'cockroach' to me.

Why doesn't she just give up and embrace her propensity to be heavy. Hey Oprah! Wake up! Your past 50 and your metabolism is around that of a snail. Nothing wrong with that Girlfriend, just embrace it and also embrace your gayness. You will feel so much better, it will be a huge weight lifted off you.

Another chick in denial... first Jennifer Love Hewitt claimed size 2, then Cheryl Burke claimed she was still a size 4, now Oprah's claiming her BMI is 31... I'd add 5 points to that for accuracy. I don't know why they bother setting the record on a curve.

The BMI index is barely useful anyway, it doesn't take into account muscle weighs more than fat so how can a simple height to weight ratio be accurate for one person with 10% body fat and another with 45%? Give us your body fat percentage Oprah and then get off you arse and do something about it otherwise stop complaining.
