Oprah Winfrey has opened up about her weight loss journey, a battle she has been transparent about throughout her broadcasting career.
The Oprah Winfrey Show host has found a method that works wonders for her.
In her recent interview, Winfrey told People magazine that she blamed herself as she battled to keep a handle on her weight over the years.
The 72-year-old media mogul started using a GLP-1 weight-loss medication two and a half years ago when she realised that she could not fight obesity without help.
“I thought it was about discipline and willpower. But I stopped blaming myself,” said Winfrey.
“I feel more alive and more vibrant than I’ve ever been.”
