The real question is: how does this make the Living Oprah lady feel?

In January's O Magazine, Oprah writes about how she's back up to 200 lbs.

I look at my thinner self and think, `How did I let this happen again?'

And then she keeps going with the self-abuse.

I'm embarrassed, I'm mad at myself.

Stop, Oprah. Nobody's perfect. America loves you, no matter what your size. What, you're not done?

When it comes to maintaining my health I didn't just fall off the wagon. I let the wagon fall on me. I didn't follow my own fundamental rule of taking care of self first.

Awww. Maybe she really is like us? Except the most powerful woman in the solar system?

Really, her career-long battle with weight sorta makes us like Oprah more. Heroes are better when they're fallible, and dinner is her Kryptonite. Barack Obama can't help himself with the smokes, and his biggest fan and fellow ruler of the heavens and earth can't help herself at mealtime. That little bit of screwing up in otherwise astounding lives makes us feel a lot better about our weak, weak selves.
