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.

sounds like a lie...ive known a couple people whove broken things and gain weight like nobody's bussiness in a short amount of time. Simply haveing so much time on your hands and not being distracted by work and whatever causes people to eat more....

_________________________

uh .. beyotch .. not a lie. i had a total hysterectomy with an open procedure with an incision from above my belly button down to my pubic bone because i had tumors on my ovaries the size of grapefruits and they couldn't do the surgery laprascopically or vaginally.

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 ...

so stfu about what you don't KNOW about ...

That Acai berry stuff has to be a scam. More diet supplements to rip off the public. Yes acai is good for you, anti oxidants, etc but damn. That stuff is expensive. I'd rather go for a run and save some money instead.

You know what I do is buy dried fruit like blueberries, cherries, cranberries etc. and mix them in with oatmeal or cream of wheat. I eat the blueberries like raisins. Toss in some walnuts and you get antioxidents, omega 3 oils, save some money and get a good breakfast to boot.

Now if I can just get my ass running.

well said ....

it is hard to believe when you have a personal trainer and a personal chef cooking your meals that you'd fall off the wagon ..

my problem was being lazy, fast food, not buying or cooking healthy (cuz eating like crap is cheaper) .... i'm still working on it .. but i can bet i'd be better at it if i had a gazillion dollars .....

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.

bambam's picture

The thing that gets at me so much is why people try to alter their body weight anyway. If you're thick you're thick, don't try to lose weight just try to be fit, able to run 4 city blocks fit. I got a cousin with ankles as big around as my thigh and it's natural for her yet she obesses with trying to lose way too many pounds. And to top it off she soothes her personal issues with food all the time, like Aretha Franklin obviously does. It's crazy.

Ugh. This fucking pig has no excuse. She can afford a personal chef to make her delicious and nutritious meals (yes, they exist), and a trainer to whip her fat ass into shape.

Her problem is that she doesn't have any willpower. She has taken America on this fucking roller coaster ride for 20 years now. No one gives a goddamn fuck whether you gained or lost a pound today, Oprah. I'm sorry that you're busy cramming brownies down your gaping maw as you weep in your bed at night, alone in your mansion save for people you actually have to pay to be around you, but don't blame your thyroid like 95% of lazy fatties illegitimately do and expect anyone but your faithful minions to buy your load of bullshit.

You are 55, ho. You will never be a size 8. Accept it and move on, you have way too much money and power to be this publicly obsessive about something most women in America deal with without your infinite luxuries. This is about as nauseating as hearing her describe not being able to privately shop after-hours at Hermes in Paris as the "most traumatic experience of my life" after having inspired a lot of women with her tales of past drug and sexual abuse. We get it, Your Majesty...you are Queen of the Universe. Now stop pretending as if your midriff ever looked like that and shut the fuck up, please.

Her thyroid made her scared of working out? Puleeze.

Yeah- that was ULTRA weak. She embarrasses herself with lame excuses like that. And she really doesn't have to make excuses, just be who she is. How many people would love to be in her place in the universe? Where SO many people look up to her, and she's richer than God a hundred times over.
It is true, money can't buy happiness. But I'd sure as shit rather be rich and have weight issues than be poor and fat. At least she can pay people to be food and excercise "nazis" when she can't reign herself in.

HAHA that "skinny" pic of Oprah is incredibly NOT EVER how skinny she once was. So Oprah, if you want to look like that again, they can airbrush you into that outfit right away, I'm sure.
I have a very hard time feeling sorry for a fat ass rich person who has the ability to hire trainers and a chef that basically do it all for you.
I must say that the thyroid issue might have a little teeny weenie bit of merit just based on my dog's thyroid problem. He turned into a fat ass for no reason and after a bunch of tests we put him on thyroid meds and he now weighs less than he has since age 2 (he is 12).
But if Oprah's thyroid is squared away, why is she still fat then? EATING SHITTY AND NOT EXERCISING, NICE TRY WITH THE THYROID EXCUSE OPRAH!

Well it's obvious you never seen her clip on the beginning of her show where she's wearing a turtleneck and jeans. The big H'Oprah was abnormally skinny during that era and it didn't last long. Bitch just needs to stop eating and work out for the rest of her life. She still gonna get fat when she reaches her sixties anyway.

Food for most people is an addiction. The portions at restaurants, cafes, everywhere - it's nuts.

I eat to live not live to eat. Needless to say I'm the opposite of my foodie husband. It's funny he is so frustrated by my spartan mentality but I worked hard to get healthy. Once you eat normal portions for a while your stomach shrinks and it makes you sick to overeat.

Anyway good for her for being honest. This looks like an interesting issue. Now if she has the sensitivity to not have pages of 'My Favorite Things' like $200 robes she'll be set.

Who knows maybe when you have her kind of money and can eat at the nicest restaurants and drink excellent expensive wines, etc it is harder to stay slim.

I know how Okra, you believe your own hype.

"Going gray is like ejaculating. You know it can happen prematurely, but when it actually does, it's a total shock." MAH BOO!!!

And her fucking lame ass thyroid stuff is total fucking bullshit. She just got tired of working out and wanted to eat all that fried shit she loves.

-------------------------------------

Seriously. But who can blame her -- unless you are naturally sporty and athletic and you enjoy that shit, exercising 2 hours a day 7 days a week (or whatever she was doing) would get to be too much for most people to keep up. Add that to an overly restricted diet, and a spectacular relapse is bound to happen. If it takes extreme exercise and starvation to maintain a certain weight, then your body is trying to tell you that you're not actually meant to be that size.
