Journalist looking for women for Oprah Magazine

[SaraReistadLong]

Hi all!
Fun to see the site again (I wrote about 3 Fat Chicks in a 2006 Oprah story on diet blogging). I'm currently working on another story for Oprah, actually--and I'm looking for real women to include/make the piece relatable. Specifically, I'm trying to find somebody who, despite the fact that her weight is normal, has suffered from something like high blood pressure, cholesterol, early signs of diabetes, etc. Also, someone who's supposedly "overweight," but has a clean bill of health when it comes to weight-related issues. If you know anybody at all who might be interested--or this is you!--give me a shout. Very warmly,
Sara
