Oprah Tips The Scale At 200 Pounds

Remember back in September when I noted how Oprah did it 'big' at the 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards?

Well today quotes have leaked from an the upcoming interview to publish in the January issue of O magazine where Oprah admits she has "fallen off the wagon" after gaining 40 pounds since 2006 when she once weighed 160 pounds.

Oprah goes on to say:

"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?' "

I understand the weight battle thing all too well. And it's true, just when you think you have it all under control, you look up and see a fat person staring back at you in the mirror.

While weight hasnt been the best thing for Oprah, it certainly isn't bad for show ratings. I think whenever Oprah talks weight...the country tunes in.

And Oprah definitely intends to capitalize off this recent weight gain as she plans to kick off the new year with five straight shows that will focus on weight, health, spirituality, money and sex. She'll also be talking about her weight on her XM satellite radio station's 'The Gayle King Show'.
