Oprah, Join Me

Dear Oprah,
Like you - I have fought with my weight for many years. Like you - it weighs heavily on my mind. Unlike you - I have never lost my weight, my bones and fat have become good friends together and don't depart. Unlike you - I have never had a personal trainer or personal chef on my staff. Also, you know doctors and psychologists. My insurance company would not pay for my visits to a dietician, and I had to pay $500 out of pocket. (I thought it was covered, or I probably wouldn't have gone)

Oprah, I feel for you. Unlike you, the public scrutiny is not on me. No one really cares what a little round woman in Kernersville is doing to herself with food, no one pays much attention to what I wear or do.

Now I have to admit, I was a little put out with you in different times in our lives. In the late 80's early 90's - I LOVED getting home in time to catch your show.

But, because you have come out with your battle of weight loss - I feel we once more have a common thread.

Oprah - join me in some weight loss. A world known figure and a textile girl from North Carolina. I've always dreamed about being on your show.

Let's eat turkey meat, vegetables, fruit, yogurt, veggie burgers. (I don't like salads so much).

Let's exercise 45 minutes a day. At least.

Oprah, join me. I'll hear about you and your battles with weight on all the shows - I'll blog about mine. Let's make it as fun and productive as we can.

The last thing, we're at the age where weight loss isn't about looking good, it's so we will live long and productive lives.

e-Mail me or call me: Desulaha@yahoo.com or 336/509-1849.

When you come to Winston Salem to visit, stop on by Kernersville, we'll talk and I'll make you my special turkey spaghetti.
