Oprah Winfrey Weight Struggles

Oprah Winfrey is embarrassed. She says she has fallen off the wagon of healthy living and has ballooned to 200 pounds. Oprah, age 54, in January's "O" magazine, 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 has gained 40 pounds since 2006, when she only weighed 160. She said she looks at her thinner self and thinks, how did she let this happen again?

Oprah, the talk show queen, says in the article provided to the Associated Press that this is how she feels. She says she has abandoned trying to get thin. I know it isn't easy as it has been a fight all my life and I can relate to her. She just wants to be strong, healthy and fit. She said, "when it comes to maintaining my health I didn't just fall off the wagon. I let the wagon fall on me".
