Y'all discussed this already?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Four years ago, when Oprah managed to get down to a trim and fit 160 pounds, she thought she'd hit on a foolproof formula for permanent weight loss. Then life—in the form of a thyroid problem and a killer schedule—intervened. Last year she was back up to the 200-pound mark and knew something had to change. </div></div>

Is it that Oprah just greedy or do you buy her excusessss?

Read on and decide

Re: Y'all discussed this already?

The addicts as well as non-addicts in my office think that she is just greedy, but I say, <span style="font-weight: bold">she looks good</span>. Why does she think that she looks better on the left?

I support her and anyone who think that weight is an issue if it starts to affect your health, but otherwise, what is the BIG deal?

People really need to quit the madness.

I live in the West and tip the scale at 180, so you can guess my answer.

What you think wrong with it?

What you think wrong with it? </div></div>..well it is not a personal question to you but it a general question to find out, why if someone is well endowed and makes a move that will enrich him or her further some folks decry it as been greed.

If you will only satisfy with x how will you create wealth (within a framework of honest pursuit of course) to help others to realize their goals?

Re: Y'all discussed this already?

yes it was discussed a while back...

i remember the thread and i commented that she is running down an ideal weight that might not be suited to her person...

what's the obsession with being thin?

[CeaBee]

Re: Y'all discussed this already?

i think she's kinda different, being in the spotlight.

it must trouble her (nuh matter how her self esteem high and blah blah) when people chat bout how fat she is

plus she talk bout health related issues as well.( i think -would have to go back and read the article)

Re: Y'all discussed this already?


This part makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Immediately after that conversation with Bob, I called my doctor. &quot;All this medicine is making my life feel like a flat line,&quot; I said. So my doctor slowly weaned me off it, except for one aspirin a day. (By the way, never suddenly stop taking prescribed medication, especially heart and blood pressure medication, without checking with your physician.) That choice was the beginning of my road back to health—and back to myself.
</div></div>

If you have the health issues she has described, &quot;weaning: yourself off of them and taking aspirin only is absurd.

Thanks jah yout. Me no have no idea what this obsession is (an me not saying that cause me fat either ) with woman who want the stick out bone thing. You don't find men constantly agonizing over them weight so why can't women just chill with theres?

I don't see anything wrong with the way Oprah look. She must know why she is so obsessed and I doubt it have anything to do with how she look at 200 lbs. although it is probably the reason why she is 200 lbs and climbing.

Not that I really care, but she is definitely fighting a bigger demon and should come clean if she want to be honest once and for all.

Re: Y'all discussed this already?



because women know - and especially those in the spotlight - that men (and other women) judge them by the very thing she struggles with. She is no more special or different than the average woman out there.

When a man says to you, &quot;well are you phat or are you Oprah fat?&quot; in order to get an idea of what you look like...... her demon isnt so unreasonable.

Re: Y'all discussed this already?

I hear you but confidence, not money nor fame, helps one to rise above the stupidity.

Why would someone who don't have to answer to anybody (within reason) care about what generics have to say?

I am surpised that Oprah and other women with confidence don't capitalize more on it and use it to knock back the weak who come in multitudes to tear them down.

Re: Y'all discussed this already?



I just think the &quot;human&quot; part comes out because even though she may not answer to anyone in a sense, it would still hurt like hell to be constantly critized and judged in that manner.

Those societal controls are stronger than we give it credit even for women in Oprah's position.

Plus, if you go thru the article, I think it is stupid for her to be so upset about her weight gain because it was influenced by health issues that were happening within her body. Once the issue was recognized, then she is able to address the symptom of weight gain. But to carry on like it is so easy to fight against you body malfunctioning like that is a disservice for those who have to struggle with being healthy.

Even at her lightest, she was never stick thin so I dont think that is really what she is getting at. It is about doing what is right for your body to stay healthy.

Me agree with you on all points, which is why me say she fighting a bigger demon.

She ain't the biggest in show business so she need to chill and stop the self depreciation. People love her and people hate her but she will find that more love than hate her, not because she is big or little but because of who she is inside.

Me tired of people using all sorts of excuses to sell story anyway. There are so many people out there with worse health issues and no means to fight them, not to say their problem is more important than Oprah's, but at least she has the means to stifle or decrease the problem. The big issue, me think, is that she focusing on the wrong problem - or maybe she just trying to mislead her &quot;audience&quot;.

In my opinion, she needs to retire now because she is getting bored and looking for things to worry bout and might wind up hurting her reputation.
