Oprah has ‘fallen off the wagon’ and is tipping the scales at 200 pounds again. Most of us lose and gain the same 5 or 10 pounds over and over…but when O yo-yo’s….she does it big. Forty pounds big.

“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?’”

Apparently Oprah’s been dealing with a thyroid condition that has caused her develop ‘a fear of working out’. I’m not sure what a thyroid problem has to do with working out or the fear thereof…but she IS Oprah so she must know what she’s talkin’ about. Right?

Oprah says her weight gain really hit home when she was freaking out about having to appear on stage with Cher and Tina Turner earlier this year. Because she felt like “a fat cow. I wanted to disappear.”

*Sigh* I do not like to make fun of women for gaining weight and I hate to hear them beating themselves up about it. Normally. But Oprah knows better. And Oprah has a chef..a trainer…food delivery…and she can certainly afford the therapy she so desperately needs to figure out why a woman who has EVERY-FREAKIN-THING in the world continues to hurt herself with food.
