Yeah I wasn't too pleased with it either. Oprah has made a misstep with that. It sends entirely the wrong message. The person you're going to be when you're skinny is exactly the same person you are when you're fat - just in smaller clothes. There's no one different lurking inside your fat. Unless you're so heavy you physically can't do things, it's an old and outdated concept of size and how a person lives their life. I was very very disappointed in that ad.
