Is Dr. Phil apologizing for his weight?<br /><br />The fact that she felt pushed to do that shows that she was getting a lot of negative feedback from the audience who is obviously holding her to higher standards than they probably even old themselves.<br /><br />Sure she may have slip-ups like we all do, but her profession is not to work out 24/7. It is is host a television show. As long as she is striving to be healthy, I see no problem. I think she is beautiful and a great woman and there is much more to Oprah than how much she weighs.Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03349138611880532466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086144421693901605.post-85984844768824769992008-12-09T17:18:00.000-05:002008-12-09T17:18:00.000-05:00Oprah should not sell diet books if she admits to hating dieting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086144421693901605.post-44436001720354922282008-12-09T16:00:00.000-05:002008-12-09T16:00:00.000-05:00JJ,<BR/>True, but health is a very important issue. It is also a very personal one. I hope Oprah take a public stance to say that she is doing the best she can, and her health is very important to her, but I hope it doesn't effect her self esteem too much. Oprah, to me, projects the image of a strong woman. So to say that she is tripped up by weight issues is frightening. Is our world really so shallow that we do not have the maturity of mind to see past someones current health status ? Its so complicated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086144421693901605.post-69422470109866921092008-12-09T15:56:00.000-05:002008-12-09T15:56:00.000-05:00I was shocked that she weighed that much. But its not like she can't lose it again if she wants right? She needs to get on with her life and worry about more important issues.JJnoreply@blogger.com
