she made me cry

Oprah made me cry!
She did! TWO days in a row!
I can't remember why I cried yesterday, but today's show was about people (generally, women) who imagine that they have physical flaws (that are not there) and are addicted to plastic surgery.
There was this one woman who's only 28 and has already gone through 26 plastic surgeries. And she looks like Barbie.
But she wasn't the one that made me cry.
Another woman, who's also addicted to plastic surgery, has had gone through a few liposuctions and her family's had to refinance their house just so she could have the surgeries. Her husband, who obviously loves her alot for who she is, supported her for the first few surgeries cos he didn't want her to have super low self-esteem.
But, she's taken it too far and he's planning to leave her if she goes under the knife again.
When Oprah asked him if he's really leaving, he held back his tears and said yes. Then Oprah said, "But you don't want to leave". And he looked down, took his specs off, rubbed his eyes, shook his head and started crying.
And I cried too.
He loves her so much. Oh, did I mention he has 3 jobs just to pay off her past surgeries?
All along I was thinking, why can't she just go to the gym or start exercising rite? Apparently she wants to lose the fats just so she'll look good in the gym. *rolls eyes*
Anyway, visit Oprah.com if you wanna have a look at Barbie.
