You might remember that back in September, a camera crew came to my house and filmed a segment for a mysterious television show. I could barely reveal anything about what had happened because I had signed a confidentiality contract, but now I can spill the details!
Let me tell you, I never realized how hard television interviews can be until that day. I really had trouble pronouncing words properly and not stuttering! I was a little nervous, I guess. 
The crew was at my house all day that Friday interviewing me and filming my friends (including Megan, Kelly, my neighbor, and Harry’s mom). It was hard work, and I have a LOT of respect for television reporters now.
They came back on Sunday and did a segment with the Husband, too. His video has not been released yet but I really cannot wait to see that one!
So… who’s this mysterious video for? Why the big secret? Why did I have to sign away my first born child if I revealed who I was fiming with?
If you guessed OPRAH, you were right!
HOWEVER, I will NOT be on the Oprah show. Oprah is launching a new television channel called the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) in January, and my segment will appear on a new short story series called The Swell. Oooobviously, having Operation Beautiful associated with Oprah in any way, shape, or form is INSANE, and I am so, so, so grateful for this amazing opportunity.
Check out the video below! Look for appearances by Husband, Maggie and James, and Megan!
Thank you guys for all your support! I’m glad I was able to finally reveal this secret!
If you feel inspired, post an Operation Beautiful note and e-mail it to me at seebriderun@gmail.com. I’ll post it on the site!

The power of positive thinking and spreading love is so amazing. I feel that power all around me (most of the time!!) and I was and still am so happy to have found your site. good positive people are so hard to find which is the very reason OB has become what it is today. An encouraging word when you are feeling down is better than any amount of money, food, clothes….stuff!!
Thank you so much for this! Your positive energy has and will continue to bring much success and love to your life
Congrats!!!
So cool, congratulations!!

Congratulations! You did a great job in the video
Wow that is AMAZING!!!
CONGRATS!!!!!! Caitlin, this is sooooo amazing!!!!!! The video is great and very inspirational!
You mentioned that you felt a little nervous. If you plan on continuing your public speaking, you should look into Toastmasters International (www.toastmasters.org). There are local chapters across the country, and you learn public speaking skills and speech writing. There are very minimal annual dues to join. I belonged for a few years, and it was incredibly beneficial! Although I was never scared of public speaking, I learned a lot and I feel so much more confident when speaking in public. Just a thought!
i really should look into this! thanks!
Omigosh, congratulations!!! Oprah!!?! How awesome! I have to admit, I did not anticipate your accent! I’m not sure why though.
xx
Hahah do I really have an accent???
I think everyone has one. I’m from CA and OH but I’ve never heard an accent like yours. Lol
haha agreed! I was totally surprised. I’m from Chicago, though, so people tell me I have an accent all the time.
OMG … totally speechless … Congratulations, Caitlin!!!!
Well done! This is really fantastic and you’ve worked hard to achieve it. You deserve it!
did my comment not post? sorry to duplicate but
OH my GOSH this is awesome. You so deserve this. Yay!!!!!
This is HUGE!!! Serious congrats are in order:)
That. Is. Awesome. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I bet you have an accent too!!!
WOW, Congrats!!! How amazing, and such a good experience!! TV interviewing is defnitely Not easy – you guys clearly pulled it off and look great
Wow, such a great video. Really amazing!!!! Good on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! Congrats.
Well done!
I was really thrown off by hearing your voice though..isn’t it funny cause we read people’s blogs and then once we hear the voice it doesn’t sound like what we imagined it would.
You have a nice voice,but I don’t picture it with you as the blogger I read.So bizarre what we humans conjure up in heads!!
But never fear it is not a bad voice,just a surprise to me
everyone always says that about my voice sounding different than what they imagined. it is pretty deep for a girl voice. rawr!!!
I thought this too! Your voice is fine, and totally not deep and RAWR-like, it’s just different than what I imagined when reading your blog.
So exciting!! What a great clip!!
Congrats, congrats, congrats
Caitlin, I just think that you are fabulous! You deserve all of the success that is coming to you. I am so grateful that I found your blog last year. I may be older than you but I have learned so much from you and I have been so inspired by your positive energy, motivation, drive and determination. I have always been a go getter, but your spirit and attitude are contagious and it makes me want to accomplish more. Enjoy every wonderful moment of your success. You earned it! -Aimee
thank you so much aimee, that make me smile
Wow Caitlin!!! That is really really awesome! Love the video and what an honor to even be involved with Oprah:) Way to go!
Haha I had imagined your voice differently too!
You are so awesome. CONGRATS!!!
TEAR of JOY for you and I think you have just inspired me to stop “planning streets” too and find my true calling in life. Thank you for that.
do what you dream!!!!
Holy sh*t that is awesome! Good for you! That is such exciting news!
Awesome!!!! So totally cool =)
Caitlin,
I’m WAY older than you, but so incredibly impressed with your accomplishments. You have made an amazing life for yourself and it’s truly inspiring! Congrats on your success!
WOW!!! Congratulations Caitlin! That is so awesome!
You’re a star! You so deserved this after all your hard work! Congratulations again!

I love love love that video!!!
Keep up the great work. You are so inspirational!
Yayyyyyyy!!!!!! That is so exciting! I loved the video clip!
Congratulations Caitlin, you looked like a complete pro in the video – no nerves at all!
You have such a sweet accent! I wish i could say the same about mine, I’m from Birmingham in the UK so my accent is terrible! (Ask your husband to do an impression if he is originally from the UK and you will see what i am talking about) LOL x
PS YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL!
hahha the husband did just a Birmingham accent and i liked it!
Oprah. Enough said. Congrats, lady!
Even though I don’t “know”- know you, I am just proud to know of you. You should be proud to be on the brink of inspiring a nation of women…..also, I noticed no accent whatsoever!!
you know me!!!
WOW! You are amazing! And I LOVE that I got to hear your voice!!!
Congratulations Caitlin!! Keep up the great work.
you are so amazing!!! I love reading your blog every day because it is SO inspirational!!

Super proud of you Caitlin! The Operation Beautiful note I found really did change me.

Seriously though, I’m super proud of you! You are such an inspiration. I have already pre-ordered 3 books. One is going to my cousin who is 10, one is going to a girl at church that has been bullied A LOT due to looks, and also a girl I babysit. I think they will all get a little something out of it and I’m hoping they will spread the word with their friends!
Thank you so much! That is awesome that you are giving the books to girls!
YOU ARE THE SHIZNIT!
Caitlin that is awesome!! It is so funny to have been reading your blog for almost a year, and I have never heard your voice! I love your Southern accent…if you heard me talk, you would say I have a STRONG Minnesooooootan accent!!
Good luck with everything! I can’t wait to put the book on my coffee table!!
CONGRATS!!! SO COOL!
Congratulations!! That is so awesome! Your voice is deeper than I imagined it would be…like when I read your posts I inmagine a totally different voice..haha. Best of luck to you!
Well deserved! Congratulations on the VERY exciting news

Congratulations! You deserve it! Your Operation Beautiful message really changed the way I feel about my body and I’m sure it’s the same for every girl who had the chance to hear it. The more people you can reach with your video, the better! It felt weird to hear your voice, you sound good!

Wow congratulations!
Congrats Caitlin! It’s wonderful that your message will reach even more women now. You did a fantastic job on camera, too!

That’s so exciting, Caitlin! Cannot wait to see the whole segment!
SO exciting!! CONGRATS!!
Congratulations, Caitlin! I am so happy for you! I wish you all the success in the world
Congratulations! This is so exciting for you and will introduce so many more people to OB.
Congratulations and thank you so much for Operation Beautiful! I am recovering from an ED and I can definitely say that programs like this are such a major help! You should be so incredibly proud of everything you’ve accomplished and I can’t wait to read your book when it comes out in August!!
i’m so glad that positive things like OB are helping you recover! that means a lot to me.
Congratulations!! That is so amazing! I bet that was incredibly hard to keep a secret!!!
That is so wonderful, Caitlin! Congratulations on another huge accomplishment!
I freaked. out. after you tweeted this today!!! Words can’t describe how freakin’ excited I am for you!! OPRAH!!
You were the first “food blog” I started reading and are still one of my favourites. It’s surreal for me too to see so many amazing things happening to you – but you most certainly deserve it! Operation Beautiful is a one-in-a-million idea and you’ve already helped SO many people xoxo
Thank you for the nice comment!
That’s fabulous news. I look forward to viewing the show. Love your blog by the way!
Wow Caitlin, that is SOOO amazing. Congratulations!
WHOO!! I was just thinking that you should be on Oprah!! So this is pretty close!
Now, I have also been thinking that the perfect show for you to actually be on would be…THE VIEW!!! Get on it girl!!
hehe the book peeps are working on it. although i think i would be scared. obviosuly.
Wow, that is amazing! What a great way to spread your message! Congrats!
Yay!!!!! You rule! Love the video!
IN.FREAKIN’.SANE. INSANE. AWESOME! Congrats!!!
http://www.firednfabulous.blogspot.com/
Wow! Congratulations! That is INSANE!
This can only be described in one word… EPIC!
excellent use of the word epic.
you’re amazing and Im so glad that i stumbled upon your blog. it has really been an inspiration and has allowed me to find new things to eat (I lOVE veggies now, my friends think Im insane
) without sabotaging how I look ;D
thank you, and I know that ill eventually get off of the whole dieting scheme once I get out of school and into a life with more time
truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you
thank you jae! this comment was so sweet
LOVE IT!!!! just fantastic and inspiring. made me feel good about myself and that’s the message!
omigosh, this is so freaking awesome!!!i hope one day you’ll come back to UPitt and give a talk. I’ll be there, i promise!
PITT lets go PITT!
How awesome! You look BEAUTIFUL in the video. What a difference you’re making. You should be VERY proud!
This is awesome !! Congratulations Caitlin
Your little family is too freaking cute! Congrats!
YEA!!! That is so wonderful! I knew you would make it on OPRAH it’s such an amazing movement!! (Running to another computer with sound to watch video!)
Wow that is AWESOME!! Great work!!
Caitlin-is really is incredible what you have started with Operation Beautiful! Women have so many negatives in their life and to see a positive note of encouragement is very supportive of the women’s community. More women like you need to band together so we can relate to one another more often-too often we see girl’s being catty with one another and you are the opposite of that.
Congrats on everything-you are an inspiration to all women!
one thing ive received through OB is that women really do want to be less catty and more accepting. especially middle and high schoolers… it makes me happy!
Yes! And in the corporate world too! The cattiness/competition carries through until adulthood, and frankly, it’s sad. I hope that through OB, women can eliminate the cattiness and realize that we are all here for one another!
Again-great work Caitlin!
a HUGE congrats Caitlin!!! That is phenomenal!!!
WOW that is amazing! YOU are amazing. You deserve it! It is such a wonderful thing you are doing with Operation Beautiful and I am so happy that you have this opportunity to spread the word!
That’s so amazing, big congratulations! You look, sound, and are amazing!
Congratulations! I didn’t hear any kind of accent in your voice like some of the other readers, so I must have whatever accent that you have
this is FANTASTIC! congratulations, you’re a super star =)
wow – that was awesome. big congrats to you!
This is amazing. I’m so happy for you Caitlin. You deserve all the success that comes to you because you do it with so much heart and inspiration.
Caitlin! Congrats! This is so amazing. Honestly what this book is going to mean for females is incredible!
the video is so beautiful and inspiring! great job
Omg, Oprah!!! That is so incredible. Congrats!!
WOW! OMG! WOW! Oprah! That is so AWESOME! Congrats! I think this is the first time I’ve heard your voice on the blog. Is it weird that I didn’t sound like I thought it would?
everyone said that! LOL
Wow that is so awesome! How amazing is it that you started something small that you were passionate about and now see it grow into something that can empower women all over.
Nothing short of amazing, and definitely well deserved. Major congrats, Caitlin!!! That is so very cool! Can’t wait to pick up your book this summer!
If anyone deserves this it’s YOU!!!! Sooo so excited and proud of you
Many congrats to you and your OpBeaut baby…what wonderful news! Just one more way to spread an amazing message and movement.
SO VERY COOL!! And the video is stunning!!!!
Wow, I am in awe. I’ve been following your site for months now and have been falling in love with your sunny personality (it really shines through on your blog), your delicious food, your training and, of course, Operation Beautiful. I’m so glad that things are falling into place for you.
Congrats!!
thank you so much for the sweet compliment.
Oh my gawd!!! That video gave me chills! Bravo! Way to make a difference in others’ lives! I for one can attest that my mom had me start dieting at about 10 years old and have had issues ever since. This year, after getting engaged and a TON of other reasons I’m getting my shit together – and your website(s) keep me going! Cannot wait to share a brew with you upon your arrival in Charlotte! Yippee!!! Congrats again – you rock!
Any girl that greets me with a beer in charlotte is a friend of mine!!
How about a homebrew on the front porch? We just brewed up a couple batches and I think my Apricot Wheat is calling your name!
I LOVED the video!!! I can’t wait to see OB on the Oprah network, I am sooo excited for you!
OMG, OMG! Congrats, Congrats! Clearly I am slow at being on top of things in the blog world. The video is amazing and you look beautiful!
Wahooooooo!!!! Girl you just keep succeeding and succeeding! You truly are an inspiration and deserve every amazing thing that comes your way! Congrats!

Yay! I’m sooo excited for you thats such an amazing accomplishment!!! BTW dont know if its just cuz I’m from the west coast but it sounds like you totally have an accent! soo funny because i’ve been imagining this completely other voice if that makes sense lol
That is SO exciting!!! CONGRATS!!!!! The video is great!!!
I have my computer connected to a Bose table radio, and that’s exactly what Caitlin sounds like! It was freaky weird to hear her voice coming from that clip!

Congrats!!!
Opera must be excited to get the chance to meet you some day. Plus you have people talking about you in French up there ^^
Congratulations Caitlin!!! Incredible!! I got chills watching the video. You have done SO much!
Congratulations!!! I saw this post in my reader the other day, but kept it marked ‘unread’ until I finally got around to seeing the video – it’s great! I’m so, so, sooooo happy for you and I think you’re doing an amazing job. I especially liked the ‘a smile is a curve that sets everything straight’ message – it really made me smile.
It’s funny how when reading a blog you get an idea about what somebody sounds like, but you sounded completely different to what I thought. I didn’t think you’re southern accent was that strong, but it’s definitely there!
How awesome! Congrats to you on all your success. Anything Oprah is good.
yeah, this totally made me cry. A LOT.
You are an amazing, inspiring person. I think if I ever find one of those notes it will change my entire outlook on life. Just knowing that there are some people out there who really truly care if other women feel good about themselves…it’s incredible.
thank you
WOW!! This is just fantastic. I am so happy for you. You truly are a great inspiration and you really deserve this. YAY!!
Thank you for stepping up and telling women its okay to be who you are. Be happy with yourself. I’m turning 50 this year and and looking forward to it. Bring it on! I have 5 pounds to lose but you know what..tomorrow is a new day. I still run, workout and love COLD BEER!
Congrats on the Oprah selection. Awesome.
Fantastic!! When will this actually air?
The network launches in January 2011 I think!
