All my kingdom for a blog

Okay so Oprah is gonna talk about getting fat. Again. And listen, I know she's embarrassed, but ... I, for one, am gonna feel really great listening to her. I don't have her reasons cuz I'm not one of the most sought after women on the planet. I am not jetting off to Africa at the drop of a hat and meeting with President Elects and stuff. But I also don't have personal chefs and a personal trainer to motivate and inspire me daily. So I'm REALLY excited to hear what she has to say. Cuz here's the thing, people who are thin or thinner LEAN that way. Like ... okay ...

On the Style Network's show, Ruby, about the 478 pound woman who is on her journey to lose weight ... one of her best pals is a gal who loves to cook and makes these artery clogging, heart stopping meals for herself and Ruby and their friends. Right? Fried this and cheesy that. But Ruby's friend ... is not a big girl. To be clear, her friend USED to be a skinny girl and now is just a regular gal but my point remains the same. Ruby's friend (who I believe is named Georgia), doesn't struggle and she eats heavily caloric stuff. Not only daily but for every meal. SOME people are predisposed to thinness and some to chubbiness.

The Biggest Loser. Okay so ... Oprah did a follow up on some of these people. For some of them, when they went back to normal life they gained a lot of the weight back. Because for some of us, ... me, JUST eating less doesn't work. It's an entire "program" of things. Eat X-number of calories and NO MORE, drink 10 glasses of water, eat every 2 - 3 hours, more protein than anything else, no booze, no sweets and work out five hours a week. THAT is not an average existence and not many of us can maintain that. Can you REALLY eat every 2 - 3 hours if you have a regular job? Can you REALLY work out five hours a week if you have a job AND kids? Can you REALLY cut out booze and sweets if you have a very full social calendar like I do? It's just not realistic. Also ... do you WANT to be a slave to those kinds of restrictions? I don't and I don't think Oprah wants to either.

We'll see. I can't read her mind even though ... I wish I could. I'd love to answer that Gail question once and for all. But I hope she knows that when she speaks, she is speaking to many of us and for many of us. I want her to shed the embarrassment. Poor thing. Wealthy folks have feelings, too. If she can't get over the shame ... I suggest she take a long, relaxing bath ... in hundreds and fifties and wash her hair with rare gems.
