A little more than two years after the Calvin Klein jeans episode, Oprah had relapsed into her old eating habits and she <a href="http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20114221,00.html">told People magazine</a> that she had gained most of the 67 pounds back. "I've been dieting since 1977," she said. "The reason I failed is that diets don't work. I tell people, if you're underweight, go on a diet and you'll gain everything you lost plus more. Now I'm trying to find a way to live in a world with food without being controlled by it, without being a compulsive eater. That's why I say I will never diet again."
