Oprah And Some Lunatics - And She’s Fat
CHICAGO (AP) - Oprah Winfrey has ballooned to 200 pounds.
She claims an out-of-whack thyroid made her develop a “fear of working out.”
Winfrey says she’s abandoned trying to get thin.
Winfrey famously wheeled a wagon loaded with fat onto the set of her talk show in 1988 to represent a 67-pound weight loss.
Ever since, her weight has yo-yoed. She weighed as much as 237 pounds and by late 1990 acknowledged she had regained most of the 67 pounds, saying “I’ll never diet again.”
In 1994, she finished the Marine Corps Marathon and by 1996 hired personal trainer Bob Greene, saying her roller-coaster weight saga was over.
But now, Winfrey finds herself tipping the scales again, telling AP Television last week that she has yet to choose a gown for President-elect Barack Obama’s inaugural ball next month.
“I had a dress on the vision board, but I’m not sure that’s gonna fit,” Winfrey said.
“When it comes to maintaining my health I didn’t just fall off the wagon. I let the wagon fall on me. I didn’t follow my own fundamental rule of taking care of self before anyone else.”
