New York - Popular US talk show host Oprah Winfrey, 54, has vowed to battle her recent weight gain, blaming it on "food abuse."Oprah, who recently admitted to tipping the scales at more than 90 kilograms, said in her website it was not about food and dieting.

"It's about using food - abusing food. Too much work, not enough play. Not enough time to come down. Not enough time to really relax," she wrote on her official website.

The media mogul, who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, a hormonal imbalance triggering weight problems, said she was now "hungry for a balance," adding that she wanted to do something else than work and take more time for her well-being.

weight problem
By: Maria Williams , Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:33:42 GMT

Definitely balance and a happier life is the one. I am an aerobic instructor and I am now 44 years old and I think this age thing its just a problem for me now. I really would like to be a size 10 at least, I am a size 14 right and this really bugs me. I am also not at all tall and not too short either. 2009 its definetely my year to getting back on a balance and happy year. I am from Zimbabwe, Africa, and I was born in Mozambique and I have been living in Zimbabwe most of childwood. Oprah I watch your programs all the time, I love you and keep up the good work.
