Revelation from a Gossip Mag
Five year-old mags

The other day I was at Sydney airport and I found myself sitting in a teeny weeny coffee shop drinking a very over-priced and extremely average cup of luke-warm decaf coffee. I know, I know - you don't need to tell me. Anyway, to compliment my less-than-inspiring beverage, I thought I'd stimulate my bored mind by making the most of some of the five year-old trashy mags on offer for us lucky coffee shop patrons. Yip-frickin-ee.

Amy who?

chocolateAs I'm not a big reader of gossip-type mags, they proved to be something of an educational and eye-opening experience for the bored motivational speaker from Melbourne. After warming up with the latest (but then maybe it wasn't) goss on Britney, Paris, Lindsay, Madonna, Amy Winehouse (didn't know who she was but do now) and of course, Brangelina, I found myself engrossed in a story about Oprah's weight-loss attempt number seven thousand and forty two (or something like that). As I was reading about her on-going weight saga, something profound occurred to me.

It ain't about ability, intelligence, money, resources or intelligence

Here's this (amazingly talented, clever and successful) woman who desperately wants to lose weight and has unlimited access to the absolute best of the best in every field. World-renowned experts, whoever she wants or needs to help her achieve her physical goals - she has them all right there at her finger tips. Not too many people are gonna say no to Oprah. The best doctors (Dr. Oz), trainers (Bob Greene), psychologists (Dr. Phil), chefs, dieticians... you name it, she's got it - or got access to it.

Guess what else she's got?

A fat body.

Still.

I don't really need to expand on that do I?

Now, before you Oprah fans write and tell to me how nasty I am, save your energy - I'm a fan too. This article is not actually about Oprah or her weight issues. If you think it is, then you've missed the point.
