Oprah's weight gain/Whose fault is it??

By now everyone has heard Oprah Winfrey has gained back the weight she lost and hit the big 200. I have been reading other trainer's blogs and articles on this to get different points of view about this issue of regaining weight and weight management.

What it really show me is that you can have the best team of health and fitness professionals in your stable but it doesn't matter if you are not accountable to yourself. People cannot do the exercise or prevent you from eating poorly. It's up to you. All trainer, nutritionists, and life coaches do is draw a good road map so it is clear on how to arrive at your destination(goal).

I know alot of people like Oprah and I believe she has done alot of good things for people but don't make excuses for what happened, take ownership of the problem.

It pisses me off that people are actually blaming Bob Green and Jorge Cruise for failing her. What BS! Those people can't hold a gun to her head and prevent her from eating poorly. She is a billionaire who can have her meals prepared for her and can afford to train with a trainer daily. So don't blame them. She has more ability to get it done than the majority of us. I know people who get it done daily and don't make excuses.


I really don't like it when people bitch about not losing weight but don't want to log the their food in journal. This is what it takes, people. If you do not want to do it than don't bitch when the results don't come. Honestly, you won't remember what you ate if you don't track it. Every time I get this complaint and finally I get these people to honestly fill out a food log, there are several poor choices and erratic patterns of eating that shows they aren't getting it done with their nutrition plan. Another example is skipping workouts. People tend to have every excuse in the book for blowing off a workout. When they only get to the gym 1-2 times a week that is not getting it done either. Trainers and coaches are usually only with them 1-3 hours per week. The other 165 hours are their responsibility and if they aren't doing what needs to be done it is their fault.

Whose fault is it Oprah regained her weight? Hers and she has owned it (she admitted eating whatever she wanted)which I respect and hopefully she can use this experience to help others avoid the same problem. I'm just sick of people always blaming others for their lack of success and not owning it themselves.
