So what is the downside

So what is the downside…She has the perfect life as we gaze through the looking glass. Her only issue seems to be her weight, which has fluctuated more than her rising ratings from her show. She has a trainer, special chef who cooks her healthy and low calorie food; and yet we all have seen her go up and down the size ladder for many years. Food issues can be more serious in some ways than alcohol addiction. It is mainly because we have to eat to stay alive. Nothing stimulates the taste buds like eating…You can give up alcoholic beverages and never even have to deal with them, but food is all around and avoiding it is impossible. We have to eat to stay alive. Just walking down the street and passing a bakery can ruin any well planned diet. So you have a poached egg on dry toast, and not only are you hungry and not satisfied, but you may crave something intensely sweet.

And Oprah goes to many functions and parties, and having to dissect healthy food choices from gourmet dinners takes more will power than one can have. All food served in restaurants and at parties is made to taste good, and you know what that means in terms of calories and fat content.

Every author or person with their special cause would sell their first born to be on her show…And when her book club choices come out…we are all waiting with baited breath.…It is hard to fathom how many books could be sold by just one mention from Oprah.

She certainly has enough money to retire… and perhaps just play, but she goes on. She has done so much good in her life by helping people with her angel network, her special giveaways, her voice and more.
