Will Oprah Get It Right This Time?

Most of us are aware that Oprah recently announced that she has fallen off the wagon and is heavier than she has been in the past. Oprah has had a very hard and very public battle with her weight and given what she has accomplished in her life this continues to be the one area where she struggles. So how does a gal with a Billion dollar bank account, access to the best food, cooks, trainers and Doctors in the world continue to have weight issues?

Well there are some obvious reasons for this and the first being recently she was diagnosed with a problem thyroid. The thyroid is one complex little organ and if it's not working properly all kinds of problems can occur. One of the more common issues with hypo thyroid is weight loss or as in Oprah's case weight gain.

The other reason of course only Oprah knows the answer to, many of us over eat because we are sad or have things subconsciously that we need to deal with. Over eating is really no different than alcoholism food allows some of us to suppress our emotions and not deal with the things that are really bothering us. Oprah has been very public about being molested as a child and while I can't even imagine the trauma that is caused by an experience like this I can understand how this would affect your emotional well being.

Oprah has launched her "Best Life Week" and the first episode was all about her falling off of the wagon. I think one of the most endearing things about Oprah is her ability to be honest with her audience. The Tuesday episode was about having a health checklist, her favorite Doctor, Dr. Oz did a great show and gave the audience Oprah included a checklist of things we need to be watching out for. Wednesday will be discussion about "Your spiritual path" this has been a constant theme of late on the show and here is where Oprah might find the real answer as to why she continues to overeat? The next two days will discuss money which of course is on everyone's mind and last but certainly not least Friday is relationship and sex day. Aside from encouraging the public to have more sex and maybe some good does and don'ts for internet dating I have no idea what will be discussed.

These special weeks that Oprah does from time to time are really quite beneficial to most of the massive list of regular viewers she has. It's almost like Oprah really just does what she thinks is best for everyone without realizing that every one of these ideas is pure marketing genius.

I have also recently had a chance to read her magazine, in each magazine Oprah does write a one or half page post about something going on in the world. Her most recent comment about the economy is not only exactly how I felt but written with grace and intelligence. If you think for one minute Oprah has been lucky and her success is based on the support team that surrounds her than you are sadly mistaken. She is one bright gal and given her wealth it is nice to know there are nice people that have this type of power. She really is a great model of what to do if you every achieve massive amounts of wealth.
