Gossip & Rumors
Oprah Can't Drop the Deuce

It's possibly a lil' TMI, but Oprah Winfrey says she's back to 200 lbs. and she's "mad" at herself for letting it all go to ... her waistline.

"I'm embarrassed," says O, in the new issue of her mag. "I can't believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight ... 'How did I let this happen again?'" Apparently since slimming down to 160 in '06, she's put on 40 big ones.

And even a child can figure out what that adds up to.

61. Why does she think the entire world cares how much she weighs? When will she finally get over herself?

62. Also, even if you are on thyroid meds, it doesn't mean you're going to look like a supermodel! Oprah needs to stop being ridiculous and STFU for once in her self-righteous life!

63. So you have fallen off the bandwagon. It's okay. Just get back on. Don't be mad--it happens to the best of us. But what we should also learn is to accept our curves and work with them instead of against them. Oprah, you look amazing at 200 lbs. Be proud! You are a healthy person, you work out, you watch what you eat and you do look great. You are beautiful.

64. Diets dont work when it is an emotional issue. This person who guides so many people , people that cant think for them selves ,into mimicking her choices , can not even control her own emotions and behavior. Oprah does not "have it together" she is addicted to food and stuffs all her emotions in her mouth.
She has the money to pay for the most experienced Therapist. Talk to the Therapist about Oprah instead of having a "poor me" party with the country. Walk the journey Oprah, do the work. You want to have special shows for Spiritual Advisors and act like you know as much, if not more , than they do and you cant over come your addiction. Get yourself right before you try to be a guru to others.
I have watched as you show racism on your show, you light up like a Christmas Tree when your guest is black and are very non-active when they are white. You cant hide it. It shows. You are not what you portray to the public , your racism is a worse problem than your food addiction.
You make a huge show of your giving.. even creating special shows to flaunt what nice thing you have done. I can just hear your advisors telling you to dump a few million somewhere for tax purposes and then you use it for publicity for yourself. Not good Oprah.
It is also very obvious that you are a Gayle wanna-be.. you copy the way she talks and everything that she does, and I am sure that any direction in charcter you have comes from her. You will never be half the woman that Gayle is. She is the real deal,
America is growing weary of you Oprah. Its time to step out of the public view and do what ever it is you want to do with your life in private. You have already proven that world wide recognition will not heal your emotions... so move on to something else. Stop flaunting... and become humble. Actualy live the life you try to portray to the world.
Your biggest deciet is the fake image you have displayed . What a heavy load to carry. Maybe if you get real with yourself and the world the emotional eating will subside and you can really have a succeful life, one based on honesty and integrity ,and finally achieve the peace filled life that for now you can only pretend to have.

65. Like Oprah, I am someone who is genetically predisposed to weight gain. First of all, women are built to store fat because of our role in reproduction. Obviously some women are far more prone to obesity than others, that's just the way we are made but it sucks. Like Oprah, I love food and hate hate despise loathe exercise, not because I'm lazy, but simply because I am not athletic. Like Oprah, if I want my weight to stay down I would have to be diligent every day for the rest of my life. Like Oprah, I love being slim and shopping for new clothes and looking in the mirror. Like Oprah, I hate when that weight creeps back up and I have to go shopping for fat clothes and looking in the mirror. Unlike Oprah, no one will ever care about taking my picture, make jokes about me in front of an audience or plaster my picture in magazines. I will never have to walk the red carpet knowing full well people are whispering about how much weight I have gained, again. Unlike Oprah I would never have the courage to discuss the issue in front of an audience or in my own magazine. This is a matter of perspective. You would have to walk a mile in our shoes to understand how this could happen over and over.
What I will never understand is how the public will vilify this wonderful accomplished woman for repeatedly gaining weight but not one word of criticism for Carnie Wilson who obviously carries a gene which causes obesity, something which killed her own mother and threatened her own health until she was brave enough to take action and have life-saving surgery to lose weight. Then she selfishly and carelessly goes ahead and has a child who will no doubt inherit this potentially lethal condition. That is not to say that fat people shouldn't have children but people who have an unmistakable obesity gene or any other condition that is a serious medical condition should think twice before they knowingly pass that on to an unsuspecting child. It is not selective breeding, it is common sense and responsibility.

67. The fat hog needs to back away from the trough, and maybe do some exercise, instead of pointing out everyone else's faults on her hypocrisy of a show!! She showed her true colors when she publically supported Ubama, of course it wasn't the fact that he is black!! Her charties... sure there are plenty of them, but only to black schools or events!! I'll be glad when her show is cancelled for inattentiveness, bad ratings, and simply because she is for her race only, not for all people!! A poor rich biatch that supports her weave, rather than to naturally expose herself as a true black woman. She is so fake!!

68. Okra, no one is feeling sorry for you!! Look at Brit Brit, she went from a overweight slut, to a # 10 class act, but she did it with exercise, something you don't seem to know how to do, or don't want to do even with all those millions you have! You must be too good for the nutra system, as it seems to work on black and white alike!! Nothing in your genes, that makes you horribly fat, you're just lazy!! Too busy making mega bucks to send to Africa!! What a pitaful excuse for an entertainer!!

69. I too have weight problems, heck I can gain 5-10 overnight, no kidding. So I took matters in my own hand too loose;
only tomato sandwiches, oranges and Gala apples as they are softer. This for a week, then convice yourself food is repulsive. It works. When goal is met, just eat Light Yogurt. You'll get used to it. I've been eating yogurt for two years. You see stress, husbands, boyfriends, life can put the weight on. Wish it were easy to get rid of the stress, I know if I had the money I would. As for those who talk about Gayle, I will tell you and her what I told a friend in the 60's: Boyfriends and husbands go--true friends are here forever. Nuf said.
