Oprah Reveals She Weighs 200 lbs

It hit the airwaves yesterday. I'm sure you heard all about it. Oprah Winfrey revealed in the January issue of "O" magazine that she currently weighs 200 lbs. and that she has "fallen off the wagon" when it comes to healthy living. Oprah shares her feelings in the article saying she is mad at herself and embarrassed since she's gained 40 lbs since 2006.

"I'm 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?" she wrote.

She mentions in the article that frustration led her to just eat whatever she wanted and she added how that is never a good combination.

So why is Oprah Winfrey the topic of discussion today? Because no matter who you are, what your career choice is, or how much money you make, you are not immune to the ill effects of the Motivation Assassinators.

Oprah's frustration (emotional reaction) led her to not make the best food choices. Couple that with lack of movement (she shares in the article that her out-of-balance thyroid condition helped her to create a "fear of working out") and you've got a recipe for an unhealthy and unhappy lifestyle.

Focus, Belief, Habits, Emotional Reactions, Energy, Surroundings/Social Influences and Time Management - these are the things that kill motivation UNLESS you know how to fight back.

We're at the time in the year when people say, "Come January 1st I'm going to..." Don't wait to arm yourself with the tools to overcome your Motivation Assassinators and achieve your goals. Go to www.neverendingmotivation.com right now so you never have to say, "Come January 1st..." ever again!
