In a bold move [IMHO], Weight Watchers tapped Oprah to be their new spokesperson. Outside of her gobs and gobs of money, I totally feel her. I, too, have struggled with weight my whole life. I, too, have been a yo-yo of incessant trial and error. And most importantly, I, too, fucking LOVE bread.
There, I said it. I. Fucking. Love. Bread.
And I've tried every diet known to man. Grapefruit diet. Yup. The whole 'Eat Less & Run More' diet thing. And the Atkins. And that's when I realized something - when you tell me I can't have something, I become like a rabid dog. I would kill for it. I've transformed into an aggressive and mean person...ok, I became even more aggressive and mean. Purely because I couldn't have bread. Like, I'm going to be arrested and there written in the arrest write up [or whatever it's called] will be clear as day:
"It had been 10 days since she had bread when she went on her rampant killing spree that left 15 dead, with countless maimed and crippled for life..."
Bread.
It's such a simple thing really - some flour, some water, some yeast. But it is SO much more. the crispy outside texture. The soft and fluffy inside texture. The magic of its versatility: it's a sandwich, Noooo - it's toast. Noooo - it's garlic bread. MAGICAL, I SAY!
So, every time Oprah comes on my TV, I feel like standing up and cheering, "YAAAAAS! OMG! I love bread too, Oprah!"
Then the commercial ends. And I am sad - 1. Because I don't have a sandwich right now and 2. Because my love of bread HAS to be what hinders me from losing this extra three bazillion pounds I need to shed. But mostly because 1. I don't have a sandwich.
[sigh]
Thanks, Oprah. I, too, LOVE bread...
