If you’re having trouble losing weight you’re not the only one. Sometimes it helps to know that even those people who are very successful, and have all the facilities they need, also struggle to keep at their ideal weight. Oprah Winfrey is an ideal example.

After previously losing a lot of weight and looking, as the cast of Sex And The City would say, ‘faboulous’, Oprah recently announced that she’s put a lot of it back on.

Oprah’s weight yo-yo’s. She admits that her recent weight gain is down to her own shortcomings. She says she’s ‘fallen off the wagon’. “I look at my thinner self and ask, how did I let this happen again?” she says.

With the weight she has put on, Oprah is now clinically obese. Her Body Mass Index is over 30, which is the official mark for obesity. This is the stage that, doctors warn, you are more likely to suffer serious illnesses. Oprah has announced that, come the new year, she is going to make a concerted effort once again.

Oprah once revealed that she had suffered sexual abuse as a child. “It’s important, I think, for people to make the connection that weight is an emotional problem that manifests itself physically.”

By 1994 it looked like she had overcome that trauma. She had gone from 225 pounds to 150 pounds.

Since then her weight has yo-yoed. This latest revelation shows that she is still a way off winning the battle.. “I didn’t follow my own fundamental rule of taking care of self first,” she says.

In Jaunuary, Oprah was said to have developed a fear of working out. A lot of people develop this when they are overweight. They want to go to the gym but become anxious about the idea. The anxiety becomes crippling. If this tells us something it’s that it’s always important to surround yourself with a good support group when trying to lose weight. There are plenty on the net.

If Oprah’s experiences tell us anything about keeping at our ideal weight, it’s never to take it for granted. Oprah says that she shoved her weight problems to the back of her mind, putting forward excuses that she was too busy. But keeping close to your ideal weight must always be an important priority – for the sake of your health.
