Oprah's Fat Fight - Again

She's run a marathon and is best friends with Maya Angelou, but she's still unsatisfied.

You gotta hand it to Oprah. No matter your opinion of the talk show queen, the woman has made quite a success of herself. From her Harpo production company to her Angel Network, she's not only making money, she's making a difference. And we respect that.

Unfortunately, even the most successful businesswomen still have problems. Oprah has long had issues with her weight, and now those issues are back, along with 40+ lbs.

O cites all kinds of reasons, including an out-of-balance thyroid, but mostly she says, "I'm mad at myself... I'm embarrassed. I can't believe after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight."

Gaining weight is no fun, but being in the public eye and gaining weight? That's gotta suck. Especially if that weight gain is attributed to a food addiction. Unlike an alcoholic, you can't 12-step away from food.

Ms. Winfrey will  tackle this issue in the coming months, and many hour long episodes will be devoted to her fluctuating size.

OK, so it's not fascinating TV, but it's Oprah. Before it's all over she'll have her own brand of exercise DVDs and diet smoothies. And she'll be thin.
