What?! Oprah?!

Is Oprah FINALLY going to get it? She says that she is embarrassed that she is still talking about her weight after all of these years. Her goal for the new year is not to be skinny, but to be healthy, fit and strong. Halleluiah!! This has been my mantra for a long time now: be healthy from the inside out. It is more important what your organs and blood look like than what you look like in your skinny jeans, people. Once you can truly, 100% accept that, you are free.
Concentrate on what your body can do, not what it looks like. We are all born with different genes which result in our different shapes. Focusing on the flaws of your unique shape and exercising/eating solely to improve your unique shape is an unhealthy attitude which can lead to obsession. Look how long Oprah's obsession haslasted. Exercise and eat to improve your fitness level and to improve the efficiency of your body.
In my opinion, Oprah's biggest health-related accomplishment was running a marathon, not losing a wagon-full of fat. She trained for it and she ate for it, because if she didn't, she wouldn't have finished it. Let's celebrate that completed marathon! Yes, as a result, she dropped weight, but the weight-dropping should be looked at as a byproduct of the fitness goal, not the priority. I ask you to sit down and think about your priorities. Do some good, long thinking and let's get them straight for 2009. The shallow obsession of what shape we are really needs to end.
