Were you surprised by Oprah's weight gain?  

I also noticed that Oprah had gained some weight. I guess the reason that I was surprised is that I think of her as being such a together in charge of her life kind of person that I don't expect her to have the same kinds of problems that we mere mortals have. LOL. It gives me hope because I feel like I'm in charge of everything else in my life as well but just can't seem to get my weight issues under control. Good for her to be honest in an industry where people try to hide their problems instead of confronting them.

I wasn't surprised Oprah gained her weight back because, I don't think it's meant for her to be thin anyway. I don't think being overweight is for her too but, her weight being somewhere in between that. When she lost all that weight back in 1988 and displayed it on her show, she didn't look right. I don't think her talking about it on her show makes her a real "down to earth" person. Her doing this is just another way to boost her ratings. She has the best of trainers and nutritionist around her and she still can't manage to keep the weight off. What is wrong with that picture? Besides, their are more things to focus on in this country instead of Queen Oprah and her weight woes. I'm not trying to be mean but, lets move on already.

I have seen that episode wherein she said that she was ashamed of herself by letting herself down. Not only that, she also let her viewers down because she had been advocating weight loss and weight management but she is not an example herself. People can easily forgive her. She is just a normal person like all of us making mistakes.
