Thoughts on Oprah

Re: Thoughts on Oprah

Steve this was not a planned cheat like yours. and this isn't us spotting her at a malt shop and calling our buddies saying hey I just saw Oprah and guess what she was pigging out big time. No this was her on the air day one stating she made a plan to lose weight on the trip cause the big awards show was coming up and they had to fit in their gowns was the line used during the beginning of the trip. Then it was like the worst things to happen on a weight loss plan you could have there is her friend egging her on to have this and that cause you are on vacation and there she was agreeing and eating not just the maltshop icecream snack but the DQ stop, the gas station junk food snacks and those were just the early days. It was like peer pressure at its worst. then the one person she has taken on the trip to help her acheive her weight loss goals calls her on it and she blows the trainer off saying it's okay I'm on vacation.

weight loss and being skinny was like a bizarre subplot in the beginning of that trip. they arrived in a town and she comments out loud about there not being a fat person in the town. then they spot one and quickly approach the person saying we were just commenting about no fat folk here and the lady says I'm from NY. Anybody here want to be approached by Oprah and her crew as the only fat person in their town before they lost their weigh? I know I sure would not have wanted to be that lady from NY.

Re: Thoughts on Oprah

Didn't see the show but perhaps part of Oprah's trouble with cheating is that her regular diet program is the lowfat way of eating. Maybe if she we're doing Atkins her body would not be craving the junk. I can sympathize when I was eating carbs I couldn't control ice cream cravings. Now a protein shake with cream cheese keeps me happy.

Re: Thoughts on Oprah

If I were the lady from NY, I woulda been like, "what are you talking about there are no fat people in the town? YOU'RE here" and stalked off to go steal candy (or an egg as the case may be) from a small child. Comments like that are rude, no matter who you are, you should have some manners.

I've been reading this thread and not posting - thought about it, but since I haven't seen the episodes that ya'll are talking about - I've passed. But I have to ask.....did Gail tell Oprah she should have this and that because Oprah was on vacation? If so, Wow. Wouldn't that be sabotage? Thats just sad.

As for the lady from NY - unless it was a live broadcast - I believe she had to sign a release of some sort to give her approval for Oprah to use her image on air didn't she?

Re: Thoughts on Oprah

With ALL these vacation cheat threads, I am 1000% sure I will be sticking to plan on my next vacation. Personally, I will be thinking about how I don't want to have to lose that weight I gained.

I am going to LOSE weight on my next vacation, which sounds much nicer than eating the crappy carb heavy foods.

Re: Thoughts on Oprah

I believe that everyone has a right to their own opinion. I personally think that Oprah should be left alone. I am very proud of all that she has accomplished. And if she wants to deviate from her way of eating, while on vacation then so be it. It's her life and her body. Who are we to judge. It's not like she's a spokesperson for a particular diet or anything. No one personally knows what she's gone and going through so why throw stones. You can never make everyone happy. And regardless of others negative opinions of this particular celebrity I will continue to think upon her favorably.

Re: Thoughts on Oprah

Tamarah yes she did after the fact sign a release, but how would you feel being the "fat" person singled out by Oprah after telling a citizen of the town out loud there are no fat people in this town anywere!
yep Gail proudly said in the commentary part about the incident I told her to go wild and order everything. that was just hours after again stating they werre going to eat healthy and buying healthy snacks in a grocery store.

There's lots of things about Oprah you'll find out about watching that show, that might surprise you. She's not always as sweet and wonderful as she portrays herself on her talk show.

Who is? She is human.
