Dec 9 2008Oprah Winfrey hits 200 lbs, blames food
Oprah Winfrey has admittedly "fallen off the wagon" and now weighs in at 200 pounds. She opens up about her personal battle in the upcoming issue of O Magazine where she admits to over-eating and not being able to fit in her gown for President-elect Obama's inauguration. The AP reports:
"I had a dress on the vision board, but I'm not sure that's gonna fit," Winfrey said. "So I have to work on something else."
"I'm mad at myself," Winfrey writes in an article provided early to The Associated Press by Harpo Productions.
"I'm embarrassed," she writes. "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 piece, Winfrey, 54, details her recent struggles with an out-of-balance thyroid and how the condition made her develop "a fear of working out." She says she's added 40 pounds to her frame since she weighed 160 pounds in 2006.
"Yes, you're adding correctly; that means the dreaded 2-0-0," Winfrey writes. "I was so frustrated I started eating whatever I wanted — and that's never good."
Oprah added: "For starters, I've eaten half of this laptop I'm typing on. My studio audience from yesterday? Let's just say they went beautifully with a delicious cranberry relish. Dr. Phil's career? Drowned that mother in chocolate sauce then watched an entire season of Desperate Housewives. I never even left the couch!
But the important thing to remember is I'm still every woman - and also rich enough to get away with murder, so nobody make fun of my weight."
Shit.

Oprah is the source of all evil.
For real.
Every time her show airs American women get a little dumber.

Great rationalization.....lard ass.

OMFG.
Oprah's evil empire is worth billions, yet she can't hire a nutritionist or a trainer? How about she should get her jaw wired shut, then she couldn't eat or do that dumb ass show...
8. JJ - December 9, 2008 11:16 AM
She may be rich but she's still fat. Lay off the chitlins girlfriend.
9. Bob - December 9, 2008 11:16 AM
Yes, it's hard work to not get fat, especially in today's "more" culture....
But it can be done. Hard work and committment. It's not the food's fault.... grrrr

Yeah, out-of-balance thyroid. Like it's my livers fault that I'm an alcoholic.

Like Osama Obama lots of people think she is the perfect human being. Far from it. She was just smart and lucky.
Simple things to do to lose that weight Opra: Eat less, move around more.

Ah, jealousy. As ugly as ever. Neither Obama nor Oprah are "just" anything. As opposed to you. You're just sitting at your computer anonymously lashing out bitterly at successful people.

For her Favorite Things show this year the audience will be going home with cases of Funyons, hot dog carts, 100 lbs. of pork and elastic-waist pants
17. Richard Simmons - December 9, 2008 11:33 AM
A tub of ass with the mouth to match.
Maybe her "out of balance thyroid" will transform to an aneurysm.
The world would be a much more pleasant....
18. JustMoi - December 9, 2008 11:33 AM
Meh. She's a big girl. Always has been. Genetics come into play, and sometimes no matter how hard you fight, you have to fight harder to beat genetics. Not saying it can't be done...it can.
I'll take her weight, and her billions..anyday of the week!
19. p0nk - December 9, 2008 11:34 AM
She just needs to do a sex video where she gets peed on and half the country will think she's hot.
20. Parker - December 9, 2008 11:38 AM
Huzzah! An out of balance thyroid is all it was! And all along I've been thinking she's just fat. Thankfully she's set the record straight and we now all know that inside every fat person is a skinny person with a thyroid problem. Good for you, Oinkra Pigfrey. Have another ham sandwich dear. It's not your fault you're fat. If it wasn't for your thyroid you'd be able to eat to your heart's content then lay about like a lump all day and not gain a pound. Such a shame.
Free Willy? No, Free Oinkra I say! Away, away! And back to the sea to be happy and free in everlasting neutral buoyancy!
21. FRIST!!! - December 9, 2008 11:38 AM
Awww...poor Ofrah..
I remember a long time ago I used to work with ths BIG girl (probably over 200 lbs.) and she was helping this obese woman in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank. When she was gone, she turned to me and said "If I ever get so fat that I need an oxygen tank, KILL ME!!!
#10 LMAO!!
22. Doc - December 9, 2008 11:39 AM
Basically when one is fat and wants to overeat; one has to find something else to do to replace eating like a hobbie. Oprah is addicted to food and it controls her life which is very sad.
23. Joe - December 9, 2008 11:48 AM
Come on, sheeple, she doesn't really feel bad. She feels more powerful than ever at this moment, for an obvious reason. She makes these "I'm struggling with my weight" statements and her audience thinks she understands them and they follower her even more devotedly.
Oprah is strong because women are weak.
24. dave - December 9, 2008 11:50 AM
I'd still pound the hell out of that fat ass!
25. Chauncey Gardner - December 9, 2008 11:51 AM

It's impossible for American women to get any dumber. Unless Oprah decides to eat them, and they go along with it because she's Oprah.

i reckon she invests all her money not on a nutritionist or a personal trainer, but on a Excuse-A-Rator...
30. drewski2u - December 9, 2008 12:09 PM
Greeeeaaaaaaaatttttt. So when she lost all that weight back in the day, she claimed, "...if I can do it, any woman can!!!!" This despite the fact that she had countless personal trainers, countless personal chefs, and admitted to working out 4 hours a day. Not exactly the resources available to your average american porker. So what happens now that their biggest inspiration has gone sumo? There is a silver lining to this though. The impending run on Häagen-Dazs and spandex could possibly pull our economy back from the brink.......
31. SingSinger - December 9, 2008 12:11 PM
Dear God,
I don't even believe in you, but I just might if you do me a favor.
Please kill Oprah.
Could she somehow take Rachel Ray and Dr. Phil with her?

FATTY!!!!!!!!!!!
34. FRIST!!! - December 9, 2008 12:31 PM
Porch monkey's do not have any self control, this is why she is so fat. The only time you see physically fit jungle bunnies is in prison, where they have all day to lift wieghts, and in professional sports, where half the coons end up in prison lifting weights anyway.

Regarding the release of Hancock 2:
I don't buy the premise of a black superhero, let alone Will Smiff. Kinda like how they put Smiff in Maverick as a black Jim West. In reality he would've been captured and turned into a slave back then.
And if a black did have superpowers, he'd most likely be a villain, using his powers to loot and steal and rape white women, so he could get payback for 400 years of oppression by Whitey, or however many years they're claiming these days....
45. Sid - December 9, 2008 1:05 PM
#43 - I'm not sure Obama's inauguration will be a big deal, since the Republicans are making such a huge comeback already and are on the verge of re-taking power.
...dang, I almost made it through that with a straight face... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
46. FRIST!!! - December 9, 2008 1:10 PM
remember the "Million Man March"? (where only 5,000 black people actually showed up, but the census was taken by a black guy, and he came up with a million.) I guess it sounds better then the 4,628 Man March.
And the only reason that many blacks showed up is because one of the housing projects in DC lost power temporarily, so none of the Tar babies could play their X-box games for a while, so they all came out at once to go rob some white people. So it really wasn't even a march, it was a gathering of welfare recipients in search of free shit....
47. Andrew - December 9, 2008 1:13 PM
#45 - you're saying that about a black actor (Will Smith) who could buy and sell you a thousand times over, in a story about a black celebrity (Oprah) who could buy and sell you a million times over. You're nothing.
48. God - December 9, 2008 1:17 PM

#43--I won't be reigning my fury that day. I'm taking an extended long holiday weekend and I'll be travelling home from Barbados that day.
#32--Look, I didn't believe in miracles myself until the 1980 USA Olympic Hockey Team...so....but....anyway...I'll see what I can do about Phil McGraw. I hate him too.
#7--No, she can't. And watch that "Fucking" shit when you address me, dammit.
49. George Best - December 9, 2008 1:23 PM
You mean she has a disease that gives her a fear of working out?
Yeah black folks have always had a disease which gives them a fear of working in some form or fashion.
If she only weighs 200, how tall is she 4 ft?
Maybe Obama has the answer and could redistribute the fat to others.
50. 12= 32 - December 9, 2008 1:25 PM
Hahaha, first post since the new fish writer that makes me laugh.
So yeah, she's fat because she lacks self control and a brain to come up with better excuses.
I would never take her money if it came with her physical appearance. What for? To spend it all in high end clothes, custom made because fat ass can't fit in regular sizes, so it looks terrible anyway? Hell naw.
@41, Definetly, SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.

If they showed everyone at Gitmo videotaped marathons of this slob's show, I guarantee they'd spill their guts after the thrid episode.
Nothing is worse than watching a fat cow get a bunch of other fat cows all revved up to come home and nag their poor husbands about getting in tune with their emotions, or some other bullshit.
"Everyone gets a free stomach staple procedure!!"

Yess...blame the food....for making you fat, much like blame the gun for oh...I dunno....shooting, the person holding the gun....ignore it. How mature...too lazy to exercise, try stomach stapling.
Try the Wii, works wonders on your BUTTERBALL ARMS and THIGHS and ASS and NECK and oh wait....*looking at the Wii balance board* says here it can't support 1 Ton.

Funny you should bring that up Massa', because when you look back throughout our nations history, you'll find that the only time when blacks were organized and useful was when they were slaves. So I'm all for repealing the emancipation constapation. Really naive idea trying to let wild animals be responsible for themselves in a society.
68. Max Planck - December 9, 2008 3:48 PM

Think of how fat American women have gotten watching her show and eating snack foods all day.

72. Maxibillion - December 9, 2008 4:28 PM
Hey #70 "Hausfrau", your German moniker still means housewife. Peppering your lifestyle with Europhilic references doesn't make you any more useful or educated than those you insult. So, fat ass & high horse & all that.

78. SueMe - December 9, 2008 6:16 PM
#74 Hell naw we ain't all like this stupid. Im damn near thirty and I'll admit Im the biggest I've ever been in my life, and it looks good to be sitting at 112 lbs. It makes sense for me to be fat in the modeling world, but in the real world not many women my age are smaller than that. You must be a sheltered fool.

81. Captain Sloppy - December 9, 2008 6:55 PM
What's up with that dress? is that ugly-looking plastic thing a direct food-channeling portal? She obviously must bypass chewing, swallowing, and digesting and just stuff food directly into her gut.
Has anyone seen Oprah from the rear? That, my friends, is what's called a donk.
Three men could sit cross-legged and play cards on that enormous butt-table.
She looks more like a female impersonator every time I see her, which, fortunately is not often.
I'm sure her endorsement of Obama came after a careful consideration of the qualifications of all the candidates and their responses to the major issues facing our country today. Either that or she put everything she had into backing the black guy.
Ever since I heard this beast bragging that she had her DNA tested and she was proud to announce she was 100-percent black I had nothing but loathing and contempt for her.
82. Truth doctor - December 9, 2008 7:33 PM

I hate the "thyroid" excuse. I have hypothyroidism and I'm not overweight because I take care of myself. Oprah, It's simply called being LAZY!
She eats too much and doesn't work out, so what's the confusion? She (or anyone else) shouldn't blame inanimate objects because you fucked up. Accept it, and move on.
84. Urbanspaceman - December 9, 2008 7:39 PM
This is good news. It means that sometime in 2009 we'll all be able to once again, (for the 4th, 5th, 6th time?), celebrate how much weight Oprah's lost. I can't wait.
85. Mike - December 9, 2008 8:01 PM
The cool part is, under Obama's plan, she can get 'All you can eat night', every night, for free. By the way, where's my fucking check Obama? You said I'd be wiping my ass with fiftys.
86. F-Obama - December 9, 2008 8:40 PM
So she hit 200 lbs again, who cares. Doesn't she do this every-other month? She fucking eats to much.
Oh, and she's a nigger, so even less care. I like her fat and unhealthy, it will make her die sooner. Send that ape some KFC buckets asap!
87. SueMe - December 9, 2008 8:58 PM
I bet that it's just too hard for some people to stay away from the offensive language towards certain races. I will be watching for the next few weeks, and I bet anyone any amount of money that there will always be at least one person who says the word "nigger," or "ape." It's just inevitable. Any black person that still gets mad about this stuff anymore must be living in Andrameda or something, because it has been common place for so many years that it doesn't affect me anymore. So to many non-black people I guess Im the nigger and the ape, but guess what "Big Deal." Who cares anymore?
88. KM - December 9, 2008 9:15 PM
Yah, Oprah may be "obese" according to her BMI, but the girl's got some money! Wowza! Did you guys not read the rich enough to get away with murder part? Yah, I'd say she's rich enough to get away with a fucking massacre! I'd take her life (big booty and all) in a second!
Who the fuck cares how fat she is? Honestly??? Like she'd fuck y'all anyway. Ha! Besides she does great things for this country.. More power to her!!
89. Spagett! - December 9, 2008 10:52 PM
WHO FUCKING CARES?! God damnit this isnt news. Shes a nig, which makes me care even less, and i loath her fat black ass anyway
lets just hope shes at the osamas innaguration and they both get assassinated
oh god please! even though i dont believe in you, just this one thing i ask of you!

Why should anyone care if she is fat and what pathetic excuse she has for being fat?

Oh wait, I'm poor and fat....... fuck that bitch!

#92 I agree with you 100%, because there is no excuse for her, and #92 I think NOT! Im too scared to even get medium...let alone fat. Im almost like an American model only I will NEVER induce reverse peristalsis on myself just to lose a pound. Im just lucky to have nice and thin genes, and now that Im four years away from thirty I way in at a whopping 112lbs. OOOOOOO! so fat from the many years I was use to being 100 lbs. I'll take the 112 over the 100 any day.
99. Jeremy - December 10, 2008 1:20 PM
She is allergic to working out? I guess like most blacks she is allergic to things that involve work.
Maybe Obama can restribute her fat to some skinny people

#100 first of all congrats for getting the 100th place, and second of all the only thing Im allergic to is comments like the one you just made. Been working ever since I was eligible for a worker's permit, and I was only 14 years old. Allergic to work...LOL! Oh please.

Dear Operah,
I have a daughter who has fought weight all her life. She is one of the most beautiful women on the planet, as are you, but the weight thing just keeps her feeling bad. I wish we had hung Twiggy when she first emerged, so the real women would not look at anything but their souls and increadable spirits. Yes, we know about good health, but the spirit of a beautiful woman should be the most important aspect of her life. I am sorry for the pain all of the non thin women carry. It is just not right that some pompass non- man in New York dominated the fashon for women. I am 57 and no longer worried about the trends, I set my own and am loved anyway.
God Bless your work and passion, Cathy
