HI OPRAH,
IT TOOK ME A LONG TO WRITE THIS LETTER TO YOU,SO HERE IT IS. I HAVE BOUGHT EVERY THING THAT YOU PUT OUT ON LOSING WEIGHT AND YET I AM STILL AT MY ALL TIME HIGH 319 LBS. TO BE UP FRONT. I WAS WALKING WITH YOU AND EATING RIGHT AND FEELING GOOD ABOUT MYSELF AND PEOPLE WAS SAYING STUFF LIKE,GIRL YOU TRYING TO GET FINE AGAIN.THEN! I FELL OFF THE WAGON. WHATS HAPPENING TO ME? I AM A SERIOUS DIABETIC, ALONG WITH HAVING ASTHMA AND HYPERTENSION.I WENT TO THE PODIATRIST THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE I'D STUCK SOMETHING IN MY FOOT AN HE COULDN'T SEE ME BECAUSE HE DOESN'T TAKE MY INSURANCE ANYMORE, AND IT'S A LITTLE FRIGHTNING BECAUSE MY DAD WAS AN AMPUTEE DO TO DIABETES,AND AS A RESULT LOST HIS LIFE DO TO KIDNEY FAILURE.
OPRAH, I AM AT MY WITS END WITH THIS WEIGHT THING.
I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THE BY-PASS SURGERY. I DON'T KNOW. WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING FOR YOUR NEXT GO ROUND?I DON'T GET TO SEE THE SHOW ALL OF THE TIME SO IF YOU COULD E-MAIL ME BACK I'D APPREACIATE IT.
OPRAH, I JUST GOT THE BLUEST EYE, AND I'M GO
