Rosie O’Donnell Heart Attack

August 21, 2012  •  1 Comment  •  Uncategorized

I’m a fan of Rosie, to be clear. I feel she has had a lot of ups and downs and has tried, to the best of her ability, to keep her head above water (let’s just not talk about the fights with Donald Trump or the girls at “The View”).

But, she has terribly neglected her health and was very fortunate to have had a “wake up” heart attack and not a fatal one.

Here’s the challenge – Will she take care of herself. My take is that she will, for a while, probably a brief while, but will then fall back into her old ways.

Why? Because she uses food to medicate herself. I can think of another talk show host who falls into the same category.

Food addiction is like drug, alcohol, gambling, you name it, and requires a serious program combining therapy with behavioral modification.

To expect Rosie to just make smarter food choices and to exercise is wrong. She needs an intervention with the best that her money can afford, and then these people most likely need to stay in place for life or she will relapse.

I hope she is smart about this as i do believe she is smart woman about many things. She simply hasn’t applies those brains to who own mind and body, which again, is similar to that other talk show host.

Good luck Rosie. Let me know if you need my help.

  1. Addressing these issues seems to be particularly difficult for people who experienced physical/sexual/emotional abuse. Here’s an insightful clip from Rosie: http://www.tinyurl.com/9ux4bt6
