This blog was not set up as a forum for debate, opposition, or really any form of drama more than perhaps a heated internal dialogue on which egg mug is the best. But Oprah buying into my beloved Weight Watchers? I’m not sure how I feel about this.
On one hand having a big name celebrity actually invest money, not time…not experience…money, makes this suddenly feel a little less intimate than my relationship has been with WW. I don’t know how to explain it but maybe the fact that she profited day one just bothers me a little bit.
But on the other hand maybe this influx of funds can make a good thing that much better. Better research? Improved programs? Avocados will finally be listed as zero points?
I don’t know what it all means I just hope that:
- this is a blessing and not a burden
- Oprah will practice what she’s getting ready to preach…to millions of women around the world and most importantly
- she decides to fuel my enthusiasm with a healthy sponsorship, so I can travel the country with my husband in an RV through our dream of helping people come up with healthy versions of their favorites so they can join us “Losing Weight State to State” (trademark) hahaha. Hey I can dream can’t I?
