Oprah

As you probably have heard by now, Lady O is opening up and talking about the weight that she has gained over the last couple of years in the January issue of “O“ magazine available on newsstands on December 16th. Oprah is not alone in her struggles. Women from all walks of life struggle with their weight everyday. The following is an excerpt of her article in the issue seen over at www.oprah.com.

“My goal isn't to be thin. My goal is for my body to be the weight it can hold—to be strong and healthy and fit, to be itself. My goal is to learn to embrace this body and to be grateful every day for what it has given me.”

“In 2009, dare I, dare all of us give ourselves all the love and care we need to be healthy, to be well, and to be whole? I know for sure that for each moment of this brand new year, I'm gonna try.”
