'And the nominees for Best Talk Show Host are. . . ' Those five seconds when the announcer is calling your name—no matter who you are or what you've been told about what an honor it is to be nominated at that moment, when your name is announced before the world, you want to win. Except this night, I honestly didn't care . . . ."
So begins Oprah Winfrey's account of her embarrassment when she won the coveted Emmy Award in 1992, ashamed at having to walk onstage at her heaviest weight ever 237 pounds. She reveals her emotional and moving weight-loss saga—her issues with weight, the years of trying every diet and failing, the yo-yoing back and forth, from a high point of carrying pounds of fat in a wheelbarrow on her show to illustrate her apparent success to the low point of regaining all that weight.
But in 1992, Oprah's life changed: She met Bob Greene, who showed her how to eat, how to exercise, and how to live in an entirely new way. Now 85 pounds lighter and having kept the weight off for over two years, Oprah is in control of her life, and she wants to show you how to get in control of yours. She and Bob walk you through the ten steps toward a happier and healthier existence, with loads of encouragement and personal stories of Oprah's own trials and tribulations in her weight-loss battle.
You don't have to wonder how often to exercise, how much time is enough, or what to eat and drink as you're losing the pounds Bob and Oprah tell you in direct, easy-to-follow steps. You're shown exactly how to work out, and which particular forms of exercise will work the best for you. You'll be amazed at how the pounds disappear, and how this new method of eating, exercising, and daily renewal affirms your growing self-confidence the same way it did Oprah's. The authors also show you how to keep a journal to express your innermost feelings about your body, your emotions, and the things that have happened in your life that have shaped your issues around weight and self-image. Oprah shares her own journal with you, too, revealing her innermost thoughts and concerns.
Throughout the book, Bob and Oprah are there for you, every step of the way. It's all within your reach—and you'll be inspired to achieve a better body and a better life.
