Oprah Discusses Her Battle With Weight Loss (VIDEO)

On 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' (weekdays, syndicated), host Oprah had on special guest Geneen Roth. Ms. Roth appeared on the program to discuss her book 'Women, Food, and God.' Oprah credits this book with changing her attitude toward dieting and life.

While talking to Roth, Oprah shared a story about her obsession with food. Oprah discussed how for years, she felt "lost" because of her eating habits. Winfrey said that her reaction to stress was to overeat, and that she didn't even realize what she was doing. "I didn't have any stress ... I ate the stress. Any stressful moment I would've had, I ate it."

Winfrey then declared that she has come to understand this problem. She said that winning this battle can help women return to the "sacredness" of themselves.
