It appears Oprah Winfrey<\/strong> had a change of heart when it comes to weight loss medication!<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the 69-year-old talk show host swore she would never take a drug like Ozempic<\/strong> to help her lose weight as she felt it would be \u201cthe easy way out\u201d for her. But months later, she appears to have changed her mind! Oprah revealed in an interview published by People<\/em> on Wednesday that she has added a weight-loss drug to her regimen amid her drastic body transformation!<\/p>\n

She explained she began her health journey after having knee surgery in 2021, incorporating regular exercise and making some lifestyle changes to help:<\/p>\n

“After knee surgery, I started hiking and setting new distance goals each week. I could eventually hike three to five miles every day and a 10-mile straight-up hike on weekends. I felt stronger, more fit, and more alive than I\u2019d felt in years.”<\/p>\n

Wow! Despite the temptation to use weight-loss medications, she felt she needed to prove her ability to reach her health goals all on her own at first. Oprah continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cI eat my last meal at 4 o\u2019clock, drink a gallon of water a day, and use the WeightWatchers principles of counting points. I had an awareness of medications, but felt I had to prove I had the willpower to do it. I now no longer feel that way. I was actually recommending it to people long before I was on it myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, her mindset changed when she was on a panel with weight loss experts and clinicians called The State of Weigh<\/em>t as part of Oprah Daily\u2019s Life You Want<\/em> series. The discussion, which went live online two months later, sparked an \u201caha\u201d moment for her and made her realize there\u2019s no shame in turning to a pharmaceutical aid:<\/p>\n

\u201cI had the biggest aha along with many people in that audience. I realized I\u2019d been blaming myself all these years for being overweight, and I have a predisposition that no amount of willpower is going to control. Obesity is a disease. It\u2019s not about willpower \u2014 it’s about the brain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Afterward, Oprah said she \u201creleased my own shame about it\u201d and spoke with her doctor. Her physician then ended up prescribing her weight-loss medication. Although the Color Purple<\/em> actress does not disclose which drug she takes and whether it was Ozempic, she did mention she only uses it as a \u201cmaintenance tool\u201d:<\/p>\n

\u201cI now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing. The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for. I\u2019m absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

And so far, Oprah has had success with the unnamed medication! She told People<\/em> she only \u201cgained half a pound\u201d during Thanksgiving this year \u201cinstead of gaining eight pounds like I did last year.\u201d Even though she\u2019s seven pounds away from her 160-pound goal weight, Oprah stressed to everyone that it\u2019s ultimately \u201cnot about the number,\u201d adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a second shot for me to live a more vital and vibrant life.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is amazing to hear! Good for Oprah! Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n
