Oprah Winfrey says she's her weight is back up to 200 lbs. and she's mad at herself for falling off the diet wagon- again. But rather than put down the fork and push away from the table - she's blaming a thyroid condition for enlarging her stomach - and hips and thighs and ass and jowls.
"I'm mad at myself, embarrassed," says the talk show diva in her O magazine. "I can't believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight ... 'How did I let this happen again?'"
After dieting her way down to 160 in 2006, the 5-foot-4 Oprah has put 40 pounds back on and has hit 200. She says she has "fallen off the wagon" due to a thyroid problem that caused a "fear of working out."
"Yes, you're adding correctly; that means the dreaded 2-0-0," Winfrey wrote. "I was so frustrated I started eating whatever I wanted. That's never good."
She going to focus her January 5 show on the topic of her weight gain. Oprah has struggled with dieting for years. In 1988, she had her most successful diet and appeared on her show wearing a slim pair of Calvin Klein jeans as she wheeled a wagon loaded with 67 pounds of fat onto the set - to show a visual of how much she had lost.
"I had literally starved myself for four months -- not a morsel of food," Winfrey recalled of that diet. "Two hours after that show, I started eating to celebrate -- of course, within two days those jeans no longer fit!"
In about 6 weeks, her friend Barack Obama will be taking the Oath of Office and Oprah says she's still wondering what to wear to the inaugural ball.
"I had a dress on the vision board, but I'm not sure that's going to fit," she said. "So I have to work on something else."

Please, Oprah Stop already.
No thyroid has ever apprehended an individual from working out. Let's be honest you enjoy eating all hours of the day, and you donot want to exercise.
Please, stop talking about gaining weight and how miserable you are, and do something about it.
Thank you
