Oprah Winfrey weight loss

In January earlier this year, on an episode of her The Oprah Podcast, she revealed that using the weight loss medication altered the way she viewed other people.

“One of the things that I realized the very first time I took a GLP-1 was that all these years I thought that thin people, those people just had more willpower,” Oprah said.

“They ate better foods, they were able to stick to it longer, they never had a potato chip.”

She continued: “And then I realized the very first time I took the GLP-1 that, ‘Oh, they’re not even thinking about it. They’re only eating when they’re hungry and they’re stopping when they’re full,” before sharing the reason behind her decision to reveal that she was taking a weight loss drug.

“When I announced last January I was like an anomaly, an anomaly in that I was willing to say it,” Oprah concluded.

Oprah has been candid about using weight loss drugs, and sadly, the former talk show host has felt that discussing her weight has gotten too much focus. Speaking with People Magazine, Winfrey stated that “making fun of my weight was a national sport” for more than two decade.
