Oprah: ‘I’m Mad At Myself’
Cover Of January's O Magazine
Oprah Winfrey discusses her weight gain in the January’s O magazine. Lady O says she now weighs 200 pounds and has “fallen off the wagon.
“I’m mad at myself,” writes Winfrey, 54. “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?’”
In the article (released by Harpo to The Associated Press), Lady O, says she has struggled with an out-of-balance thyroid and the condition made her develop “a fear of working out.”
Her weight has gone up by 40 pounds since she weighed 160 pounds in 2006.
“Yes, you’re adding correctly; that means the dreaded 2-0-0,” Winfrey says. “I was so frustrated I started eating whatever I wanted – and that’s never good.”
She felt so bad that earlier this year she wanted to skip an April 26 taping with Cher and Tina Turner in Las Vegas because she felt like “a fat cow.
“I wanted to disappear,” she says.
Her goal now isn’t to be thin; she just wants to be healthy.
She is kicking off “Best Life Week,” beginning Jan. 5 on her talk show.
“I definitely wasn’t setting an example,” Winfrey writes in her article. “I was talking the talk, but I wasn’t walking the walk. And that was very disappointing to me.”
I think Lady O has the right idea, don’t worry about being thin, just get healthy and the rest will fall into place. She still looks great in recent pictures.
