I saw a quick news clip of Oprah recently..

I think Oprah is a DISer' I just luv me some Oprah...

Oprah has always said that when she gains weight, it means that something in her or her life is out of balance, and that is what she has always passed on...getting your life to be in balance.

I do believe I've heard her say that. I feel the same way about myself.

Therefore, you probably mean that you're sad for her if she feels ashamed...she might very well feel that way, I know I do when I'm in an upswing. In fact I've finally stopped lying to myself about my weight, stepped on scales, now I have a goal, I'm working out...because of the weight I've let myself put on, I feel ashamed.

But I surely wouldn't want people to say that it's shameful that I gained.

Then again, if someone just said "it's a shame", I'd agree, if they were talking about me. I'm quite cute when not too heavy, and quite NOT cute when heavy...so it is indeed "a shame" when I gain.

Of course, Oprah doesn't "lose her face" when she gains, she's always quite pretty, so maybe she doesn't feel that way about herself!


So many words with "shame", and the one chosen was the one that sounded like a slam. The others aren't as bad, and might very well be how she's feeling about her weight. Maybe.



Anyway, I would imagine she's just tired...I know I would be!

Oh brother, give me a break. I guess I did use the wrong word, or not in the context it sounded. I am a diehard Oprah fan and have been for years. I loved how her show has evolved over the years to a "Living your best life" etc.

Oprah has always said that when she gains weight, it means that something in her or her life is out of balance, and that is what she has always passed on...getting your life to be in balance.

Clearly, something in her life is out of balance right now. Maybe that is why she is moving on from her show, sadly.

But whatever...now someone can go back (as someone on the DIS always does) and quote all my old postings and make me look worse than ever.
And you're right-I have never had a weight problem. Then again, I get up at 4 in the morning and fight it off like others. So...go ahead, have a good day and spend it picking me apart and then you too, can feel superior for "picking" someone else apart.

Whatever. I'm out of here.

Perhaps you should be more careful about what you post. No one is putting words in your mouth.

Yeah she does look as though she's aged. I think being in the public eye will do that to you!!
