Oprah has a new resolution

Oprah says on her website that she is hungry to do something other than work. After revealing last month in a candid article in her O magazine, about not living a balanced life. Oprah has made a conscious choice to steer away from her 14-hour a day work schedule and focus more on herself. This is a decision we all need to make...

"It's about using food — abusing food. Too much work. Not enough play. Not enough time to come down. Not enough time to really relax."

Oprah has another new deal...

After 20 years at ABC, Winfrey's Harpo Films has inked a three-year exclusive deal with HBO to develop and produce scripted programming, including series, miniseries, movies and documentaries. What makes this deal so great is that making a deal on pay cable you not only get money from how well the shows does but there is less constraints because to have HBO on your television you must pay a subscription rate, so no matter how well the shows do on Cable unlike network they still get their money either way...

OPRAH: "How did I let this happen again?"

Oprah speaks in her latest O Magazine and on Oprah.com about feeling ashamed of her weight gain and once again in her life, weighing over 200 lbs. She is dealing with a thyroid condition and with everything being enhanced with her long and dreaded work schedule, she is reasonably having difficulty controlling her weight. From her website she writes:

I think I hit bottom when I wanted to stay home even from a show as fun as the one we did with Tina Turner and Cher in Las Vegas. I was supposed to stand between them onstage, and I felt like a fat cow. I wanted to disappear. "God help me now," I thought. "How can I hide myself?" Later, as I was interviewing both of them about their ages (at the time, Tina was 68 and loved being older; Cher was 61 and didn't), I asked myself, "Who's the real older woman here? I am." They both had more energy than I did. They didn't just sparkle; they glittered.

She also speaks in the article about her weight issue not being directly related to not working out harder or eating less; but more about not living a balanced life, with too much work and not enough play, and not enough time to relax and calm down.
