Oprah’s Weight Gain…Just Another Catchy Headline?

I admit, when I saw Oprah all over the news for her recent weight gain, I jumped at the chance to write about it. But as I was writing, I changed my mind. I really didn’t think that you needed to read about another celebrity’s struggles with weight. Don’t get me wrong, I like Oprah (unlike some of the other celebrities that can’t seem to stay away from the headlines) and I respect her A LOT for all that she’s accomplished.
I think it’s incredibly brave of her to come out and let the entire world know about her weight problem. Can you imagine? Once you make the headlines, you’re like an open target for anyone to shoot you down with judgement and criticism. But if you know Oprah, you can be sure she’ll use her problem as an example and put a positive spin on it to shed more light on the very serious problem of obesity and the general decline of health in America.
So why did I stop writing about Oprah’s infamous weight gain?
