Because women are always concerned with weight--and it is always a struggle to lose and keep it off. I myself I have lost over 90 pounds in the past 3 years--but it has been a long journey with many ups and downs. Oprah wants to be healthy like anyone else--and the fact that she is in the public eye with a weight problem herself, makes her the poster child for women everywhere who are struggling with losing weight. It gives her things to talk about in her magazine and on her show.

Mainly because as she gets older she realizes the health risks of carrying an excessive weight load. It matters with heart disease, diabetes and many other afflictions that are aggravated by excessive weight. If you've watched her shows then you must be aware of how health conscious she is and the advice she shares to make the general public also aware thru guest experts.

Beacuse stupid people are entertained by it, and make it real news. If the only thing that we had to worry about was Oprah's weight we would be in good shape!

Largely because America worries so much about her weight.

Because she's in the public eye everyday, and her followers - mostly women - are always worried about their weight.

This is her pathetic attempts at staying in the limelight and "associating" with the normal woman so they like her. She is nothing but a mediawhore... and an ugly one at that!

It's not her weight that worries her. It's what others think about her weight.

Everyone should worry about their weight.

Because she is trying to not get heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, or have a stroke and end up in a nursing home somewhere. It is hard to do, and she wants people to know she is trying, and that is what is imprortant to her.

Probably because society sucks so bad. Point proven above.
