Are you sure you want to lose weight? Has anyone seen Oprah where the woman was over 500lbs? Weight was her problem before now it is the excess skin! My gosh, was that courage or not to show her body all over the country? It sure was inspiration to me and I truly admire the woman for her courage to do it. I have flaws but they are minute to what she has. Oprah was even looking shocked. She was overweight at one time. Wonder she looks like? I am not making fun of this woman in anyway. Only the fact how something can get out of hand and the effects it leaves afterwards. I truly wish this woman all the best due to the fact how society bases so much on appearance and not the real person. She seemed so intelligent and that is why she even appeared on this show to help others. My own mother was overweight all her life due to the fact of the life she endured for so many many years. Doctors told her so often to lose weight. She seemed to do what the doctors suggested except losing weight was one thing she didn't pay attention to. Always felt throwing food out was sin. (Waste not, want not was her excuse) Anything the kids didn't eat she did. She lived to be in her 90's and still had her mind. Only took one day at a time and grateful she got to be around as long as she did. What a woman! I truly feel dieting is essential but continue to do everyday. Not drastic measure at the beginning of new year. Get burnt out that way. This is only my personal feeling. Hope I don't step on anybody's feelings here. I go along with keeping daily food journal. Sure is shock to see what you forget about.
