\"Oprah\u00a0 Oprah Winfrey reveals how she got clarity over her obesity<\/p>\n

Oprah Winfrey is shining a light on an issue she says she once believed was a personal failure.<\/p>\n

But instead, it turned out to be a medical condition.<\/p>\n

It’s her weight, or, more precisely, her obesity. Speaking to CBS Sunday Morning, the well-known celebrity opens up about how she got clarity on the issue that was impacting her overall confidence.<\/p>\n

“I’m not going to, but I could weep right now for all of the many days and nights I’ve journaled about this being my fault and why can’t I conquer this thing?” she said, nodding to her reputation in the industry for achieving greater feats.<\/p>\n

Everything changed, Winfrey recalls, when she began to take GLP-1 medication, a weight-loss drug.<\/p>\n

“There are tools to use that can help you. And I do see it as a tool,” she remembered, adding that the results of the medicine were quick.<\/p>\n

For example, the “food noise” she had in her mind vanished after taking the GLP-1 on the first day. “I have become indifferent to food. I still love it. I still love it. But I’m not in any way obsessed about it.”<\/p>\n

Despite what she said about the medicine’s stunning results, Winfrey still regretted not knowing about it earlier.<\/p>\n

“I have regret that I didn’t discover it in 2013. I have regret that, oh my gosh, this has been going on for over 12 years now, and I didn’t know about it,” she stated.<\/p>\n

“I think about the wasted time. The wasted time, the wasted sadness and shame about it. I think about the wasted years,” Winfrey, 71, concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 Oprah Winfrey reveals how she got clarity over her obesity Oprah Winfrey is shining a light on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":231498,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":{"0":"post-231497","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-new-zealand","10":"tag-newzealand","11":"tag-nz","12":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
