Oprah Hits 200 Pounds. Again. | Mark’s Daily Apple.
Mark comments here about how its so hard for Oprah to lose weight, and that she has everything going for her. I start to wonder, past what Mark has to say, and think, why does she document her battle with weight-loss, and why does it sell? I think the key is that she is now giving people a license to be fat. Of course she would never come out and directly admit it, but people will look at Oprah and think, “Well if she can’t be fit, with everything going for her, then neither can I. I am also doomed.” Of course that’s just not true, but it’s a good excuse people can bring up when they want to just give up and say, “Getting fit is too hard.” Yes, it’s hard. But too hard? How much is your health worth? Deal with it. Adapt and overcome.
