The talkshow host is disappointed by her recent weight gain

The new issue of O Magazine has an extraordinary and inspiring essay in it by Oprah. It is for everyone who has ever said “how did I let this happen again?” She’s talking about regaining the weight she lost over the past two years and also learning a whole new lesson about herself and about life. ABC’s Jackie Hyland has more of what she said.

One of the greatest experiences is of, certainly my life time and it’s been wonderful I think for everybody in the country. Barack Obama’s biggest fan Oprah Winfrey was thrilled at his historic victory. But inside Oprah may not have been feeling very good about herself, and issue she’s been battling for decades.

"I am mad at myself. I am embarrassed. I can’t believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I’m still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, ”How did I let this happen again?”

Oprah reveals with her usual brutal honesty. How she is fallen off the wagon and has ballooned to over 200 pounds. In the January 2009 issue of O Magazine, she details her recent struggles with an out of balance thyroid, how she feared her usual exercise regime.

She says "I was so frustrated I started eating whatever I wanted and that’s never good." Oprah has famously struggled with her weight. In 1988, she wheeled a wagon loaded with fat onto a set to show her 67 pound weight loss. She had been on a liquid protein diet for months. But her size ten Carbos didn’t last long. Within two years she had regained all of that weight and claimed she’d never diet again.

Perhaps America’s most famous yoyo dieter over the last 20 years, Oprah shared her struggles on her show. Finished a Marine Court marathon, topped the scale of 237 pounds. "I definitely wasn’t setting an example", she writes, "I was talking the talk, but I wasn’t walking the walk. And that was very disappointing to me. "

Now it’s just weeks to go until Obama’s historical presidency begins. Oprah is wondering what she will be wearing to the inaugural ball. "I had a dress on the vision board but I am not sure that’s gonna fit." Winfrey said, "So I have to work on something else. " After two decades of fighting the Battle of the Bulge, this January we'll watch Oprah once again take on her toughest challenge.

O杂志刊登了一篇由Oprah写的特别的鼓舞人心的文章。文章是写给所有那些说“我怎么又长胖了”的人的。她在文中谈到她在过去两年里减掉的体重又恢复了，以及关于自己和生活的新的教训。ABC新闻的Jackie报道了详细内容。

我一生中最伟大的经历对全国每一个人来说都很精彩。奥巴马最大的粉丝Oprah Winfrey为他取得的历史性胜利感到非常激动。但是在Oprah内心深处她为自己和为之奋斗了数十年的目标感到不是那么开心。

“我简直要发疯了。我觉得很尴尬。我不能相信，经过这么多年，我知道什么事情应该怎样做，我还在关注我的体重。我看着比以前苗条的我，心理在想，我怎么又长胖了呢？”

Oprah Winfrey坦诚说明了自己的经历。她叙述了自己从四轮马车上掉下来的趣事以及体重怎样飙升到200磅。在即将发行的2009年1月份的O杂志中，她消息描述了最近由于甲状腺失衡所作的努力，以及她怎样惧怕通常的运动规律。

她说“我非常沮丧，开始吃任何想吃点东西，这永远是不对的。”Oprah因为体重而出名。1988年，她驱赶着一辆装满肥肉的四轮马车来炫耀自己减肥减掉了67磅。她曾经好几个月食用液体蛋白质食品。但是她的身材并没有保持很长时间。两年之内，她减掉的体重全部恢复，并且宣布再也不节食。

Oprah或许是美国最著名的节食者，她在演出中分享她的苦恼。结束了漫长的海事法庭生涯之后，她的体重飙升到最高水平，237磅。“我并不是想给大家树立榜样，我只是实话实说，希望大家不要重蹈覆辙。这非常让我失望。”

还有几周的时间，奥巴马历史性的总统任期就要开始了。Oprah现在在考虑在就职舞会上自己应该穿什么。“我已经想好了一条裙子，但是不一定能穿的下。”Winfrey说，“所以我必须想想其他衣服。”经过20年和体重的战争之后，明年1月份，我们将再度看到Winfrey面临最大的挑战。
