Hi, my name is Angela. I am Oprah's biggest fan living in West Milford, NJ. I went to her show taped in NYC on Sept. 10th, 2007. It was a blast. I was interviewed by reporters, channel 7 news and Good Morning America aired my interviews and I later watched it on ti-vo. Oprah inspires me to be the best woman I can be.

I quit smoking in 1999. I did it by getting support from people experiencing the same issues I was. It saved me from not going back to smoking, I have been a non-smoker ever since.

Reading and writing posts helped me maintain my sanity as I went through what I thought to be one of the most challenging times in my life. I thought since I have a new challenge 7 years later, maybe this service was around for weight loss. Lucky for me, I found this site. I am 40 pounds over weight, and at 42 yrs old, I feel fat all the time. I have been in denial about how bad my situation is for about 6 months. I would look in the mirror and say..."there are many people much fatter than me, I am OK. People always say to me "you are not fat". I hate hearing that because I have used it as an crutch not to do anything about loosing weight or exercising. My doctor is concerned about my weight, and now, I finally am.

I have shortness of breathe and living a cendenary (misspelled for sure, but you know the term when you don't move around) lifestlye which is not good for my bones, heart, circulation and about 40 or more other reasons we shouldn't be fat. Most of the people in my life can't relate to my weight problem. Everyone I know is pretty thin. My husband is about 40 pounds overweight, but he is very comfortable with his body, I on the other hand beat myself up constantly for the person I am not. For me this has more to do with health, how I feel and less to do with looks. I would love to look great don't get me wrong but the thought of climbing a flight of stairs without being competely winded, is more important to me than my sexy looking dress. I have gained and lost about a dozen times in my life. I am an emotional eater, plus I am Italian, you do the math, it is a disaster! I am ready to challenge myself and get started. With your support, maybe a prayer too, I will be a size 10 again. Thanks for reading. Good luck to you on your journey. We are all in this together. You are not alone.

Warmly,

Angela / aka / Oprah's Biggest Fan
