I've received a few e-mails asking what exactly constituted "Oprah Arms" (Thank you Donna for having the courage to join my club publicly). I actually googled it, in an attempt to get you all a picture of this cursed affliction, and discovered the best definition ever over at urbandictionary.com:

Oprah arms: the condition in which you have an excess buildup of fat in the area between your elbow and armpit. After waving goodbye, the fat continues to move after waving is finished. Look at that bitch with Oprah arms, she stopped waving but the fat is still jiggling.

Love it. Essentially, Oprah has very large biceps. It doesn't matter what state of fitness she's in, her arms are rather large in comparison to the rest of her body. I first heard the term from one of my co-workers when I was managing a Club Monaco while at University -she refused to try on a cute t-shirt because of the problem. At the time, I thought it was hilarious because I didn’t suffer from the disease. Now that my arms are getting “Oprah-ish” - I am thinking of starting a support group. For the record, it’s not my fault. I went on the “Food is Love” diet a couple years ago and this was one of the side effects. I actually had a box of O’Henry bits for dinner last night (Dollar Store chocolates!) evidence that I’m still on this particular eating program. Unfortunately, I’ve entered phase three of the Food is Love Diet, which includes Spanx All the Way There Tights. Life is very sad for Nicola right now people. Not sad enough to get my fat ass to a gym. But still -very sad. BTW Oprah arms are perfectly fine, if you have Oprah money.
