I love Oprah & think that she is a beautiful person inside & out. I can't say I watch her talk show because I have never been a big fan of talk shows, but I've watch most if not all of her movies & read or watched her interviews on tv or in magazines. I think that she is one of the most kindest people in Hollywood today. I am always hearing about all the good that she does for people. I personally feel that she didn't have to reveal just how much she weighs to the world because it does not matter. I don't care if she is skinny or overweight because it does not change who she is. Of course I don't know her personally in real life, but I've honestly never heard anything bad about her either. For someone famous I think she is a very private person or as private as she can be in her line of work. I just think that people need to see her more as a person & not as an overweight personality figure. Why should it matter just how much she weighs? What do all of you think about this? What are your thoughts?

I do not like the woman, but thats irrelavant here.

My point would be that for someone that has their own chef and is promoting a new diet every other day, she sure fluctuates a great deal in her weight.

Are we to take her seriously when she promotes a new weight loss plan?
Its always guaranteed to be the next best thing, the most effective and sure-fire thing to come around on this planet. But we see her bumping 200 pounds over and over, If she really believes in their effectiveness, then why is she so plump?

Yes, if I were her I would be terribly embarrassed about breaking the 200 pound mark.

I would think that everyone would then be aware that I promote things on my show just for money, that I didn't really support the promotion. I just sell out to the highest bidder to advertise or appear on my show.

Those are my thoughts, you may not like them though.

Yea, that's kind of the way I look at it.

Someone also brought up another point to me, that I hadn't considered. She is supposed to be this role model for women, young and old, but what kind of image is she promoting by all this yo-yo dieting and emphasis on weight? Then the next show will be her showing all this sympathy to her quest who is anorexic. blinkdoh She's perpetuating the problems when she could be happy the way she is and telling girls that weight is NOT what they should be focusing on. I thought that was just a really good point, you know?

I thank both of you for your comments & I have to admit that you both have made very good points. I think Oprah should just stop focusing on her weight & like you mentioned just try to stay healthy & promote that instead of all these crazy diets. Thank you both for bringing that out.
